Guess you all will have to put up with my great humor, wealth of knowledge, and good looks for a bit longer.

Excellent news! We're too used to living in the shade of the great #1 to do anything else.

I doubt very much he lives in the Wye valley, or presents birdwatching on the Beeb, or does his very own beauty products and bath honey.

He also would spot the typographical ambiguity that makes Kate Humble (of the Wye valley, the Beeb, bath honey etc…) look like Hate Humble. Or perhaps I just need to polish the monocle again.

Steady lad, steady, you show commendable enthusiasm but it doesn't kick off before Monday. Use the next 36 hours to stretch your phraseology, expand your argot and practice your punctuation. Or be like the rest of us and just hammer away indiscriminately from the morning of the 22nd.

We should also remind ourselves before Monday of the elegant conventions of grammar and the essential differences between singular and plural.

Isgoat.
Argoats.

You could say that!

Even has (had) a wikipedia page about it... outdated as it's an archived copy from four and a half years ago:

I log in before in the morning light
The moderator says, "When you gonna post right?"
Oh mods dear, we're not the smart ones
And Bobs, they wanna have fun
Oh, Bobs just wanna have fun

The page loads in the middle of the night
My computer yells, "Are you gonna post all your life?"
Oh forum dear, you know you're still number one
But Bobs, they wanna have fun
Oh, Bobs just wanna have

That's all they really want
Some fun
When the working day is done
Oh, Bobs, they wanna have fun
Oh, Bobs just wanna have fun

Some trolls take a beautiful thread
And take her away from the discussion
I wanna be the one to post in the sun
Oh, Bobs, they wanna have fun
Oh, Bobs just wanna have

That's all they really want
Is some fun
When the working day is done
Oh, Bobs, they wanna have fun
Oh, Bobs just wanna have fun
