Hubpages Elite
And you've retired the monkey
Some of my favourite forum moments involves that monkey. Happy cymbal clapping monkey gives wise gentle advice to newbie and newbie completely misinterprets the advice and has a meltdown. How many times did that happen?
You're a stand-out here at HP. And even without the E you're Excellent, Exceptional and Extremelyfabulous.I'd giggle at the response. Your words were chosen carefully and maybe even edited for clarity. But never have I see such a response, and not once, or twice, but more times than I care to admit.
Usually that kind of blunt over reactive response was reserved for the very short replies myself or Relache would give. A looooong question that needed nothing more than a yes or no answer. Which we'd give, and then their nose would be out of joint.
There's just no pleasing some people.
That's understandable. The clapping monkey did something... I'm not sure if filled a void is the word for it. But it was doing something. But now you've found closure. So if the monkey doesn't return that's fine and completely understandable.
It's funny how we tend to recognise the avatar before we notice the username. It becomes our calling card. I had a close up of MY eye once, but a few people thought I was a hot chick with an attitude.
I remember that avatar. I loved it! How in the world did anyone think it was a female? But hey, I would think hot chicks with attitudes could be a plus sometimes.
Ditto, ditto. I think it was Ryan Hupfer, ex-HP staffer, who volunteered me, I mean, asked me to help out.
Several months later I log in and there's a little "e" thingee on my avatar. Took me a while to figure out what it was for. I just thought my kids had informed him that they had been instructed to call me the Empress of Everything.
I discovered from another thread that darkside is a keeper.
As for frogdropping..., I’m still aglow…Deary me - and I was thinking of retiring my avatar. Seems us hanimals are an endangered species
As for the $1000 Amazon gift bonus well - I'm not greedy. HP? Can I just have a Kindle please? That's only $140 and you can give the other $860 gift voucher to the first hubber that comes up with an answer to the following question: What is a frogdropping?Thanks, KCC, it is always a surprise, especially since I haven't written a hub in 3 weeks!
That true about your earnings KCC? Not that I'm suggesting you're untruthful, more related to maybe I should drop mine. Though being honest, it's the name too. Utterly silly. Mine I mean
@wrylilt - good try. Potential winner but for the yukky graphic explanation. I almost brought my coffee up
That gift card will be awesome!

The "Elite" -Is this a good title for HP volunteers?
Since a discussion concerning this subject on another thread was apparently disturbing some folks there--and I do agree it was off topic--I am taking Norah's advice and putting the question here. I didn't really...
