subtitle

why is everyone so desperate for a subtitle? Member is so awesome! And if you get a subtitle you dont like youre stuck!

Cucumber-:) I got member too. What a coincidence. And I love it too. Kinda gives me that cozy warm feeling inside. Maybe all poor posters with silly subtitles will one day earn their membership as well.

Coffee- take heart, you too will be a member one day.

BSD,

I earned that title waaaaaaaaay before I got this one 😉

riiiiiiiight (looking at cucumber strangely)

BSD, Cucumber–would you be unhappy if the moderator changed your subtitle to “Proud Member” or, to really stress your specialness, “Mr. Member”? Would that be a pro(ud)motion or a demotion?

proud member, platinum member, remember, dismember abi ah member!

BSD,

we get the point u don’t have to repeat yourself 😉

btw dismembered sounds like a good subtitle for you

so now member is a compliment? well i am not changing mine so fast I love it!!!!!!!!!! Thank you mods again

So BSD looks like you’ve been demoted!! you have my sympathies. Maybe if you beg them the mods will promote you up to member again. Wanna try?

Moderators,

I think cucumber wants a subtitle like “in a pickle” 😉

Or maybe “I know you are but what am I” 😉

BSD: they got you, too?! 🙁

cuc and Ursula- To the contrary, I think it’s a step up the ladder of membership rank and file. Ya know what- if you like, and the mods allow it, I can transfer my platinum membership and proud membership over to you guys. Dismember I bequeath to Joseph. So long as I remain chutsh ah member.

Coffee- something tells me you didn’t ask for your specific subtitle either:)

That’s correct, but I wanted one and I like it nonetheless 😛

ursula- how about Mama Bear?

sorry to be a spoilsport but i dont even know what my subtitle means. Malafa Phone? Anyone care to explain? And on second thought, coffee addict, “in a pickle” doesnt sound so bad after all. 😉

Someone else has probably posted this already, but it’s not up yet, so: Hebrew for Cucumber is “melafafone”. Would you prefer “Batampte”? (In good taste, or tasting good) “Posting with relish” or “Relish the posts” or something along that line. Truly, the mind reels with the possibilities.

[Meanwhile, over at my own screenname…think i’ll head over to the “feeling ignored” thread. :)]

Fifty years later, it dawns on me: the mods’ play on words would be connecting Cucumber, the Oorah phone service, with the Hebrew word for cucumber, which sounds like phone. Do you truly appreciate the multi-lingual genius of those who toil so selflessly behind the YWN screens, hm?

good ha’arah ursula

thank you ursula and coffe addict i appreciate the explanation. But a joke is not exactly as funny once it is explained…. see Ursula you are still better off as a member- you’re part of the awesome member club and you dont have any incomprehensible subtitles. And BTW does Ursula mean something?

Every name means something. Ursula is the feminine form of the Latin word for “bear” (Ursa Major, Ursa Minor, the Bear constellations). There is currently in the plaza of the Seagram Building a sculpture of a giant teddy bear leaning against a lamp, built by Swiss artist Urs Fischer, whose first name means bear. I have met plenty of Dov Bers and Berishes, and a few women named Doba, but no women named Bera.

It is not my given name but i like it (although i like my real name better).

Cucumber: If you rejoin the member ranks, then your subtitle will perforce be “remembered”. As BSD’s is, a conundrum. (Since a proud member should not have any other subtitle, does his subtitle mean he is not proud to be a member?)

Oh, goodness! Look! My very own subtitle! Gee, thanks, guys! Thanks, mystery moderator! I think I’ll go and have myself a happy little cry now.

Have a great Shabbos, everyone!
