Margo - well it's certainly better than countless "appreciation" threads litering the board.
Does it serve any grand purpose? no. But who says everything in life has to have purpose. Can't some things just "be" ? I mean - look at so many posts on message boards without some grand "point" lol
Since this is only day 1, as another poster said - give it time for people to get the hang of it and turn "celebrity of the day" into something special/wonderful/etc
If you really want to know what RobbieJ got out of today and being the Board Celebrity of the Day - let's ask him to respond.
RobbieJ - What did being our MBCotD mean to you?

"Well, Craig, I learned that if I ever go looking for my heart's desire again, I won't look any further than my own backyard, because if it isn't there, I never really lost it to begin with."
Oh wait, that might have been Dorothy, not RobbieJ.
As cheesy as it sounds, I'm actually looking forward to getting to know more about some of the people that I've never talked to, and that haven't had a thread dedicated to them.
Besides, I'm sure that all of the attention whores out there will still find plenty of opportunities to get their fill.
Did someone call me?
What was that noise? It sounded like Rath, but it couldn't be because she's been ignoring me all day!
I have not either! We can't do this on robbie's thread though. Meet me somwhere else.
Congrats robbiej! You're an absolute doll and I hope I can see you perform sometime soon. It sounds like you're quite the talent!
Shameless, I absolutely agree with you!
I'm SO looking forward to getting to know people who post here who I don't cross paths with! It's going to be fun for everyone who posts on the OT board!

Nicely put, shameless. Lol- I too look forward to hearing about some of our less mentioned members, and with the one day per year rule, it looks like we might just get to!
And congrats to robbiej!!!!!

Congrats to Mr. RobbieJ.
Looking forward to getting to you know you, darling.
Enjoy (what's left of) your day!
We all sit and wait as RobbieJ makes his decision to pass the baton onto the next Message Board Celebrity Of The Day. Who will it be? Stay Tuned...
It's so exciting!

Craig, will there be a link to a list of the honorees so we can see who has been so honored?
Patrick Wilson Fans --New "UnOfficial Fan Site". Come check us out!
"I mean, you don't even get Jose-like moderator privileges for the day so that you can at least ban and suspend people randomly or delete threads at will?"
Speaking of Jose... where's that trigger happy button pusher been, anyway?

"RobbieJ?"
"Yes, RobbieJ. I've heard he's great."
"He's supposed to be fantastic."
"I've definitely heard of him."
"They say he's incredibly fantastic."
"How'd you hear about him?"
"This friend of mine turned me onto him."
"And?"
"He's incredibly fantastic."
"See? That's what they say!"
and, scene
APPLAUSE
That cheerleading icon now has a double (at least) meaning
12:19 EST...waiting.
I guess Robbie is out celebrating. If he hasn't posted by 9am.. see the rules to find out what to do..
*hums Jeopardy theme song*
3. The reigning Board Celebrity chooses the next Board Celebrity. If the current Board Celebrity doesn't post and/or doesn't choose the next Board Celebrity, then the first poster after 10am(eastern standard time) may nominate 3 people. A second poster must eliminate one of the three. A third poster then eliminates a second which will indicate who the next celebrity is.
For example:
I could nominate (after 10am if the MBCotD didn't choose a successor) Rob, Jose and Dollypop for example. The next poster after me would kick a person off that list (for example Dollypop) which would leave Rob and Jose. The next poster would eliminate either Rob or Jose leaving the new MBCotD
2 minutes to go....Way to drop the baton, Robbie...
...just a thought.
People can't always get online at work by 9am... Should the deadline be moved back just a smidge?
*holds breath waiting for Robbie to arrive*
Addy - perhaps 10am. I'll change it now...
