And the award for Best Hide this month goes to...

[ElboRuum]

Warren DeMontague!!! * cheers, clapping *

Now now, everyone just settle for a minute, there's more.

After much consideration by the judges, his hide is considered meritorious for the following reasons!

1. He got a post hidden in Meta!
2. He managed to invoke teh naem in the post!
3. He did it on a thread started in May of this year which had long since dropped off the front page!

...for an aggregate difficulty level of 4.2.

Congratulations, Warren.

SPEECH! SPEECH!

1. That was a thing of beauty..brought a tear to my eye

2. Referencing that is extremely offensive. I'm alerting on this

3. Very little surprises me anymore

but that result surprised me.

Here's the link to the meta thread:

I mean, look- I'm not an idiot; I know that putting a message, even ironically, in a post challenging a jury to hide it, is sort of like waving a steak in front of the tiger cage.

But, still.

4. Here is the other (failed) alert sent on another of my posts in that thread:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1240&pid=148459

Which inspired the 2nd post.

Thanks, to BTA, for bringing it to my attention.

I'm not kidding, I honestly think just about every post I make on DU these days, gets alerted on. So probably my batting average is fairly good. But be warned, folks, just by having a conversation with me you may be getting set up for a similar situation.

5. Also note how the alerter in that one referred to the "boys club"

8. Since I'm on a tablet and therefore don't see sigs, I have no idea either...

Gonna have to remember to jump on the iMac after dinner and do some Columbo-ing.

9. Thanks, Warren.

I was just speculating that if one wanted to really embarrass themselves, they might choose to codify their whining complaint in a signature so that it would be a shrine to their adolescent resentment.

10. My hide is probably 5 or so Lbs heavier than it ought to be, but I'm working on it

Still, at my age, I think I look pretty good.
