Congrats To @Motie2 On Your Promotion To MASTER ... May I Refer To You As YODA?

Congrats my friend. I've been told that once you attain the level of MASTER you no longer need matches to light your pipe, but simple use your will and the power of The Force can make it happen.

Cut it out, Ghost. I'm blushing.....
I have no freakin' idea why I am suddenly a Master. [The System Lords work in mischievous ways. Or is it mischievious? Actually, 53% of Americans misspell the word, adding an "i"]
Wait, is it because someone found out I had been a great debater in my college years?
(Or is that too saucy? I'm trying to be clever, but if I've given offense, please forgive me.)

Meanwhile I hate having the spotlight focused on me.
For is it not written, "After the spotlight comes the pie....."

Congrats @motie2, it's good to be a master!

OK, enough. I'm just an uncommonly handsome Comic Monkey. 
Don't hate me because I'm beautiful.

@motie2, @ghostsofpompeii What I need to do is work on a special avatar for us Masters. Has the name Triade been taken already?

@motie2, congrats Master! I bow in your Honor sir.

@ghostsofpompeii, @PappyJoe, I just noticed your both Masters as well.  I congratulate you and bow before you both.

@motie2 Long overdue. A gentleman and scholar. Kind and thoughtful!

motie2

@mseddon -- Thank you for a gentlemanly, non-satirical compliment! 

@Londy3 -- And yet, each morning, I put my pants on one leg at a time.

If anyone on our forum deserves the title, @motie2 certainly has earned it.

Amen to that!

Congrats Motie, or Sir Motie, or Dr. Motie........either or, you da Man along with Pappy. I would suggest a statue be erected in your and Pappy's honor, but the anti pipe smokers would demonstrate and tear it down.

Motie

And following the subtlety of your post......if we ever have a "convention" or meeting, etc., and we have a fishing tournament....just don't bait anyone's hooks if you get my drift.

motie2

Just plain motie2. Same old guy....

@motie2 , congratulations! A worthy an noble achievement. But proceed with a bit of caution for those of high honor who laugh in the face of trial risk becoming a test tickle.

@Swmaples --

"Balls!" said the Queen. "If I had to, I could be King."   And the King laughed, not because he had to, but because he had two.

Swmaples

@motie2

A noble reply very worthy from one of such honor. In other words; thanks man, that chuckle brightened my day.

Congratulations!

I use to be a member on a now defunct fishing forum, which had a similar ranking, but over there it was Masterbaiter.

May we now call you Master motie?

Geez, I go away for a couple of days and come back to discover Masters. Congratulations to you all.
