How Are Physics Forums Mentors Selected?

[Ivan Seeking]

IT seems these guys have many names: Tokoloshe, Tokolosh, Tokoloshi, Thokolosi, Tikaloshe, Africa's Brownie, PF Mentor. The same excerpt is found here.

The penis of the thokolosi is so long that it has to be slung over his shoulder. Thus sexually well-endowed, the duties of the tokolosh include making love to its witch mistress. In return, it is rewarded with milk and food. In common with European myths and legends concerning familiars, salt must not be added to food offerings for tokoloshes. The witch keeps the tokoloshe docile by cutting the fringe of hair that hangs over its eyes. Witches sometimes inherit these demon lovers from their mothers.

I just left that part out so as not to humiliate our male, human counterparts here.

...Tokoloshe, Tokolosh, Tokoloshi, Thokolosi, Tikaloshe...

I think whoever named was probably going for "Lack o' tooshie"
but he'd had just a little too much to drink. (which was probably why he saw 'em in the first place!)

Thanks a lot, Zaleski!
There went a perfectly good mouthful of Coca-cola C2 all over my monitor!

I'm wheel-lee, wheel-lee sow-we!

ROFL! I just noticed PF Mentor.

Yeah, I'm a bit slow.

If you plan on starting a room dedicated to America-bashing and/or to the praise of North Korea and of Islamic theocracies, may I be the first to nominate Adam for the mentor job?

I second that nomination. I'm ashamed to have the same name as that kid.

When I grow up I want to be a mentor just like Ivan Seeking.

You'll have to apply for citizenship on Planet X, then.

Planet X ? I thought it was Eroticon 6 !

It is, but cut Tom some slack. He doesn't have time to keep up with the latest literature on the Seeking phenomenon. (It may not seem that way to you or me, but some issues may be more pressing.)

I'd prefer Eroticon 6 to Planet X, but I suppose I better book a cruise to both planets, just to be on the safe side.

That's true. Since showing up on X [aka Eroticon 6] Tom has spent most of his time at the Kevlar Viper leg holster fitting shop.

Actually, I think after Eroticon 6, you should go the Planet X's triplet, Planet XXX
