    A Sicilian pastry dessert. Italians often try to take credit for its creation, but these delicious pastries were created in Sicily and not Italy.

    Hi everyone!

    Since launch, we have pretty much kept the same, small staff of forum moderators.  There were five of us in the beginning:  Myself, Hamz, Suneku, CitizenKane, and BoG.  That worked out just fine for awhile, then we brought over one of the many excellent Wiki mods to the forum side, TheBeast, in mid-August.  Since then, things have been pretty status quo around here.  The forums have generally been running themselves, and things have been going well, for the most part anyway.  However...Kush has always been there supporting the site from the very beginning.  We all thought that with school starting up and most of the forum mods going back to college this week, that this would be a good time to bring on another forum moderator.

    Kush was an easy choice for all of us.  He's active, never has a bad word to say about anyone, and has always been a big help to the staff.  He was constantly keeping us advised of issues that were developing on the forums with certain threads or trolls when none of us were around to do anything about it, so he really was a great help to us in that respect.

    With that, I welcome Kush to the dark side of Giant Bomb, may your shiney new tools keep you warm amongst the hate!

    Kush, showers don't wash the dirtiness on the inside.  Your balls are showing.  Bumblebee Tuna.

    Gratz on the mod position, sir.  Now comes the hazing rituals from the other mods.

    Alright Kush, here's your shopping list for the initiation: a kiddie pool, a Louis Vuitton bag, some ripe Oranges, a large toucan, Pierce Brosnan, an Intellivision, used birthday wrapping paper, a Barbara Streisand CD, forty-two different varieties of insect (do not necessarily have to be living), a washboard, and some lacy underthings.As CitizenKane decided earlier, Tim Roth and Liam Neeson are acceptable substitutes for Mr. Brosnan. Be at MB's place at precisely 4:35 Hawaiian on Wednesday, and we'll get this show on the road.

    Oh, and welcome to the team.

    It would just bring up bad memories for suneku.  Good thing MB's neighbor is a doctor.

    Congratulations Master Kush!

    The initation ceremony begins in the basement on the eve of the next full moon. Be there.

    Oh, and a side note - sorry I haven't been around recently all - I've been busier than I'd actually planned for - too busy to even use the internet. It was painful. I'll be back in action shortly!

    The funny thing is that I actually already have all of these things except for the ripe oranges. I have moldy, possibly now alive oranges, but no ripe ones...would it be bad if I brought Brosnan, Roth and Neeson? Can I really bring only one of them? They all really want to come and won't shut up about it.

    I have to disagree...I think the IRC is probably much more enjoyable while under the influence. Though I personally prefer cocaine over alcohol.
