New Team Member Joins Physics Forums!

[Greg Bernhardt]

New Promotion!

Congrats to Astronuc! He is the latest to join the PF Team! No one can disbute the dedication Astronuc has displayed over the past couple years. Astronuc will be helping us organize the Science Advisors and help revamp the IR Forum.

---

With the addition comes unfortunately a subtraction as well. Tom Mattson due to our inability to contact him for several months has been retired from the team. Those who are relatively new, should realize Physics Forums as we know it today, owes a huge dept of gratitude to Tom. Physics Forums was in a fair mess before he came on board in 2003. Tom set the stage for the initiative towards organized quality discussion. Hopefully Tom returns some day, nonetheless he will remain a PF legend!

 

[ZapperZ]

It's about time too that we have a new Mentor. Pervect and jtbell have been whining way too much about doing the Mentor bathroom duties for too long. Now they have someone to pass it on! :)

Welcome aboard, Astronuc.

Zz.

 

[Math Is Hard]

Congratulations, Astronuc!

 

[cristo]

Congrats, Astronuc on a well earned promotion!

 

[FredGarvin]

That's great news. It is a well deserved promotion.

 

[Astronuc]

Thank you, guys!

I'm looking forward to working the SA's and other staff at PF.


I just got to watch where I click now.


I'll try to reach Tom. He's just up the river from me.

 

[ranger]

Congrats Astrodude!

 

[turbo]

Ray, Rasro!

 

[Ivan Seeking]

Congratulations Astronuc! You look great in green and it has certainly been earned.

 

[Pyrrhus]

Congrats Astronuc!, and i hope Tom comes back, too.

 

[Astronuc]

Thanks!

Meanwhile, I'll try to track down Tom.

 

[moe darklight]

cool, CONGRATULATIONS!

 

[z-component]

You definitely deserve it, man! Great work.

 

[Kurdt]

Well done Astronuc! A fantastic choice for PF mentor.

 

[Reshma]

Wow, that's great news! Hearty congrats to Astronuc!

 

[D H]

Congrats, Astronuc! Job well done. And a hearty congrats to the PF elite on making an excellent choice.

 

[Hootenanny]

Congratulations Astro, well deserved indeed!

 

[Danger]

Good on ya, mate. Long overdue. Of course, now you'll be busier than ever. No rest for the wicked. (That's not to imply that I think of you as a candle... )

 

[Moonbear]

Congrats Astronuc! Now, no adding hot peppers to the coffee!

Here's your key to the cleaning closet and the mentor's private bathroom.

 

[Astronuc]

moe-d, z-comp, Kurdt, Reshma, D H, Hoot, and my mate Danger,

thanks for the kind words and encouragement.

Of course, now you'll be busier than ever.

Yeah. It's actually interesting getting used the other Mentors in red and blue doppler shift as they go back and forth. You only see the green in passing.

 

[Astronuc]

Congrats Astronuc!

Thanks.

Now, no adding hot peppers to the coffee!

Who me!? Nah, I wouldn't to do that.

Here's your key to the cleaning closet and the mentor's private bathroom.

My own broom and mop! You really know how to make someone feel welcome. < snif >

 

[Evo]

There's a hair clog in the mentor's hot tub, can you get to that too?

I know I've congratulated you in two different places, but can't remember if I did here, so Congratulations, you are a great addition!

P.S. - Don't forget to place the chocolates on the pillows in the mentor's lounge, I didn't have one last night.

 

[morphism]

Congrats Astronuc! Now other people will have a fair chance at the Community Spirit award this year.

 

[Astronuc]

There's a hair clog in the mentor's hot tub, can you get to that too?

I have experience as a plummer and mechanical maintenance worker. I'll get right on it. I wasn't near the hot-tub last night, so it can't be mine.

I know I've congratulated you in two different places, but can't remember if I did here, so Congratulations, you are a great addition!

Thanks!

Belgian, right?

Thanks, morphism. Now get out there and show some Spirit!

 

[G01]

Hey Astronuc! Congratulations. A well deserved promotion!

 

[G01]

Here's your key to the cleaning closet and the mentor's private bathroom.

Wait a minute.

That looks just like the key to the Homework Helpers Forum...

...so that's what that smell is

Nah, we just couldn't get the duct for the vent fan all the way up to the roof, so we decided to just pipe it into the HW Helpers forum.

 

[Wild Angel]

Congratulations!

 

[G01]

That's funny. We fixed the smell in the HH forum by circulating all of our air through SA forum. We probably shouldn't tell the SA's that, since they will just pipe the bad air back into the mentors forum creating one big circle of smelliness...

Hey, you didn't realize it was a homework problem? Find the best use of the output.

 

[dlgoff]

Wow. How did I miss this? Congratulations Astronuc! I hope that between all the house work, you'll still be giving us your knowledge.

 

[Chi Meson]

This is great news indeed!Now he won't be hogging the HH jacuzzi so much. And more room in the fridge too...
Oh, and well done you really deserve the recognition!

...maybe I can get his old locker...gotta go!

GET AWAY!I claim Astronuc's Locker! No one else can......You know what Chi. I was mean there. The locker is all yours<shudder> So much old hair <shudder>

That's okay, with Astronuc's promotion, a space has opened up for another funniest member nomination. I think volcanoes really like fries.

Wow. If I want to compete for that award I better make a list of jokes. *Hides list of jokes that is already made*

...

Anyway, so a Penguin, Pope Benedict, and ZapperZ walk into a bar...


On a side note, I once went to this pizza place that had "volcano fries." They were cheese fries with buffalo sauce on them. They were delicious and most likely full of heart clogging goodness. Now I'm hungry for them, again. Thanks Moonbear!

You're welcome. Hey, wait! Now I'm hungry too!

Mmmmmm, that sounds yummy!

 

[turbo]

You're welcome. Hey, wait! Now I'm hungry too!

I come away from a lot of threads hungry. I have learned that if I can fry an Applegate Farms hot dog and a roll in butter, and slather it with dill jalapeno rounds, habanero relish, and yellow mustard (don't forget the sauteed yellow onions) I can satisfy a few cravings at once. I have more than a few cravings, so it takes hiking, wood-stacking, hunting, etc to keep me honest.

 

[Ouabache]

New Mentor

Congrats Astronuc - Well Deserved !

& thanks to the PF summit on an excellent choice!

 

[Far Star]

A very pleasant turn of events. All the best to you!

 

[Astronuc]

Well?

Thanks for the kind words, G01, Wild Angel, dlgoff, Chi Meson, Ouabache, Far Star -

and thanks to each and everyone here for your contributions to PF.

 

[EnumaElish]

Congratulations, Astronuc!

 

[Lisa!]

Wow! I just saw Astro's wearing green
Congrats! (Sorry to be late)

 

[Astronuc]

Thanks, EnumaElish and Lisa!

So Lisa!, we've been wondering where you've been.

 

[Huckleberry]

Hmm, I don't know if Astronyuck is deserving enough. He's far too considerate, intelligent, friendly, funny and humble. He doesn't even get mad when I make fun of his beard. It's like letting Snuffalufagus babysit the kids.

Congratulations Astronuc.
I think your name would look better in blue,
but nobody deserves to be green more than you.

Thanks, Huck. Well - I'm a newbie in green. My predecessors and colleagues have worked very hard to make PF what it is. It's certainly an honor and privilege to serve with these good folks at PF.

 

[arunbg]

Another late wish coming your way Astro.
Well deserved and long overdue I must say. Anybody with a beard like that deserves to go green period

 

[marlon]

Belated congratulatios from marlon

Ciao

 

[Astronuc]

Thanks Marlon. And Merry Christmas to you. Hope all is going well your way.

And thank you, arunbg.
