All:

I am pleased to announce a new role within the TONMO.com community: Special Contributor.

We've just added eight Special Contributors to our staff, in addition to our existing seven Moderators and myself as Webmaster.

Special Contributors are just that -- they have contributed valuable content over a sustained period and have embodied the passion, knowledge and spirit of the TONMO.com community.

Obviously there are scores of valuable contributors at TONMO.com; everyone who posts adds value and depth, and helps define our community. The eight individuals below, chosen by myself and the Moderator staff, have been asked to essentially keep on doing what they're doing. Please join me in thanking them, and welcoming them to the TONMO.com staff!

I'll be fixing their ranks to reflect their titles by the weekend or so. Congratulations SCs!

I thank you and congratulate all of you.

Wow... Gee whiz... Uh, I'd better go earn my keep here and write something interesting, huh? :heee:

Congratulations to all my fellow SI's! And thanks to Tony and everyone who makes TONMO the cephalopod page on the web.

:cheers: :sushi:
Sushi and Sake!

John

Hip hip hooray! U guys are the greatest!

Thanks all...can't think of a better forum to be a member of...

Thank you all and congrats to the other SC's!! :heee: :glass:

That's some stellar company I'm in, there. I feel so unworthy.

I think we should get bad-ass leather jackets or tattoos or something.

Thanks to Tony and the Staff, and all the other members of TONMO for making such a great site. And congratulations to the other SC's

oohhh boy.
" think we should get bad-ass leather jackets or tattoos or something."

heheh...just the thought scares me a bit... :lol:

All,

Leather jackets? I was keen on a cape and helmet ensemble, myself.

Congrats to my fellow rogues, and thanks to Tony for the nod.

:heee:

Clem

Welcome to the team!!!

new mugshots for the 'about us' pages???

:)

Clem's right on the fashion. We should have new photos in our TONMO pickelhaubes!

Melissa

Congrats to everyone!!! Wow.... Leather Jackets....How about Tattoos.....

And thanks for keeping me around!!! Not that I was going anywhere, but now I have to earn my keep!!! :mrgreen:

Carol

Congrats all!!!!

J

Now that you mention it, Clem, a cape would go handsomely with my tights. I'm not sure if I need the helmet, though. I'm not that special.

Oop,

I ought to have thanked the moderators, too, for giving the nod. Thanks all.

I'd also like to thank my agent, my amazing manager, everyone in the cast and crew and my high-school drama teacher, who is gay.

Clem

Lol....

I think we should get bad-ass leather jackets or tattoos or something.

Your avatar is bad enough, Oh Right Honourable Regal Footed Sir Dr Ummmmm...... No need for tats, jackets or shades!

Congrats all of you.

As above, well done all!

Look forward to the pictures to find out what you all really look like....I suspect ummmmms' pic is probably genuine though.

:notworth: :notworth: :notworth: :notworth:

a "gay " high school drama teacher? I find that rather hard to believe. shouldn't they be depressed about their wages???

Congrats all!

Picture?!? Of me?!?

Hmm... Don't want to scare the people away. Maybe I should submit a picture of my mother's dachshund.

Oh come now...some of the pics I've posted were rather unflattering...like this one in the middle of a haircut: :shock:

I mean, yikes. Do like the tatoo or jacket idea though...how about the Tonmo logo? :D

:roflmao:

Nothing worse than a sad highschool drama teacher

There's PhotoShop fodder if ever I seen it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:shock: Oh my....

:shock: Oh my also........ :mrgreen:

:shock: Oh my also...my oh my. Why? :mrgreen:

During the summer, it is so hot to paint outside, that I have my head buzzed and wear a wet hat...it regularily tops 115 f here.
Decided to wear a mohawk for a few minutes, and had a friend snap the picture...next time, I will wear a suit...perhaps I could use it on my business cards? :D

Wow. :shock:
Still looks better than my shag though.

...next time, I will wear a suit...perhaps I could use it on my business cards? :D

I thought we'd agreed on capes and helmets. :?

:lol:

Point well taken. I'll try to rustle up a photo, folks.

John

*still thinking of a good thread topic*

I apologize for the lateness, but I'd like add my congratulations to our Special Contributors... you guys help keep things rolling when things get a little busy and some of us cant make it to TONMO as often as we want... :oops:

Personally, i think capes would look smashing....

a cape in arizona...well, it would stand out. I kind of like the leather jacket idea actually...(been looking for an excuse to buy one for some time...)

Why not a leather cape then? :roll:

Well, I have a friend who does tats here in Arcata. He does excellent work, though I have never been a client.

Here's an idea for a tatoo: The TONMO staff dressed as Jedi taking on an empire of bottom trawlers attacking with an army of giant robotic isopods. They could lead an army of Jedi cephalopods. As long as they don't talk like Jar-Jar. :x

Just a random insomnia-induced thought.

So that is what you look like undressed... :shock:

Once again, Oh my... :shock:

Oh my....... :shock: (again)

:shock: :shock: :shock:

Capes sound good........THEN you could go for the underwaer outside the pantyhose look!!!!!

J :lol:

We need funky hairdo's and seabadgers on our shoulders!! a few socktopuses wouldn't hurt either

And a team of Grunka-lunkas to man the Slurm factory.

(Joke for all you Futurama fans ... Those who aren't, the reference is so twisted that... well... once you watch it, you can't unwatch it)

Sushi and Sake,

John

For your Photo-Shop pleasure

Well, if you insist, here's a quick n' dirty... not a PaintShop, but an MS Paint hack... :heee:

Sorry, saw the hammer-pick and the great beard, and if you're familiar with the Rankin-Bass rendition of Rudolf the Red-Nosed Reindeer, well...

Great to meet you!
