I think they are very underrated, i am the last person to suck up to authority, the mentors on this forum should be proud that they have kept
the (line), thankyou mentors.:smile:

You're welcome.
 
I hope they ban you, and pengwuino.
 
Here is my tribute to the Mentors:

I get a strange Harry Potter flashback.

Code: 
def error():
    print
    print "That is not Evo :S"
    print

mentor = raw_input("Who is your Favourite PF Mentor?")
if mentor == Evo:
     print "omg"
else:
     error()

Yeah, so I suck at Python[/color] :p

Yomamma, these chumps are in need of your services. You know what to do. :cool:
 
That's right, the mentors are good. You love the mentors. Let's all join together in a tribute to the mentors...

Do you fancy yourself a cape-wearing superhero, SpaceTiger? Do you look good in tights?

Yeah, but I actually do look good in tights. Now all I need is a cape, and some superpowers. (And I'd like to see you try to ride a bike 100+ miles in anything other than cycling shorts.)

I always said modesty was your best quality. :smile: Only 100 miles? Pfffft! wuss.

Oh, I forgot to mention... 100 miles a day, for seven days in a row.

Let's make a mentor funclub. We'll create forum parties with special guests - mentors. Wolrum will be our holy sponsor, since he's the one making daily rituals and sacrifices for mentors' recognition. People not giving respect to authority like yumomma and Cyrus will be forbidden to join the club unless they pay every member. Cash only.

Would it help if I put on my Movementarian underwear?

No fair! You nabbed the chocolates just before PF went down, so we couldn't get them back before you ate them all! :mad:

Wollie, please inform the worshippers that more chocolate offerings are needed. :biggrin:

SpaceTiger said:

I'm not sure I want to know anything about movements and underwear in the same sentence! :eek: Perhaps you should be sure to wear your superhero underoos. :biggrin:

I'm pretty sure most of the folks around here would rather see Evo, Monique and myself in tights than you and Chroot. (I believe there are a few exceptions who would prefer the men in tights. :wink: Not really my taste though, I prefer them without the tights.)
 
  • #20
Ok, I can't even say what I'm thinking about men in tights. :redface:

I think we need to see a picture of ST in tights Moonbear, we already have one of chroot. :!)

I'll let you judge that one. I still don't find tights particularly flattering on men. (And, yes, I can read your mind and know what naughty thoughts you're having...I still prefer them sans tights. :devil:)

Party pooper. But look at all the pretty feathers you'd get to wear. Reminds me of Icarus.

:smile: Does he come in a less-feathered option? Somehow, I have a hard time buying the "angelic" look for him. :-p But, the loincloth is quite fetching. I think that's what we need to dress ST and Chroot in...loincloths! :biggrin:

How about explaining it to someone who doesn't write code?:blushing:

  • #45
Better Code:

Code: 
def favorite():
favorite = raw_input("Who is your Favorite PF member?")
if favorite == 'yomamma':
print 'You Are Cool'
elif favorite='pengwuino':
print 'You have no place on this forum'
elif favorite= 'Evo':
print 'You are...cool too :rolleyes: don't ban me evo'
else:
favorite()

okay so I also suck at python

There isn't much to get. It's just weird how writing computer code can make you automatically think in those terms sometimes.

http://ihate [mentor name].com gives very few results. Think about it.

Well that was a few years ago now, and these days I've lost the definition I once had on my abs, but let's just say it isn't a bad photo, although I was airbrushed to look that good. Hell everyone has bad hair days right?

Anyway back to the topic, mods do alright, who'd want to be a mod, thankless task, homework helpers at least get praise for their well written posts; Mods are somewhat akin to teachers, we all knew they were doing the right thing as kids, but damn it it's hard to take a decision that leaves you out in the cold corridor:smile: right SD out: I've had enough of your contribution to this science class, you've got detention for a month, come back and see me when you can behave :smile:

if your wearing that, then your either going to get sent out straight away or not sent out atall, so that's the dilema.
