I think it's as valuable as this.......

My electric company just sent me a letter congratulating me on paying my 300th monthly bill. I'm framing that baby!

Pooh-Bah or pooh-bah
n.
A pompous ostentatious official, especially one who, holding many offices, fulfills none of them.
A person who holds high office.
[After Pooh-Bah, Lord-High-Everything-Else, a character in The Mikado by W.S. Gilbert and Arthur Sullivan.]

This thread lacks a certain flair. I'm going back to the Katrina thread.

I seem to remember that Fred Flintstone was elected Grand PooBah of the Royal Order of Water Buffalo. You join the ranks of the truly great ones who precede you.

Yabba dabba......DO!

That sounds fair.....
You get a two-beer headstart!
P.S. Thanks for putting an end to the political pissing contest. You have my vote as Pooh Bar of the week!

Poo-Bah says,

"stop pouring all your creativity into pretty boat graphics and come up with new and innovative ways to shower the Poo-Bah with praise"

so says the Poo-Bah.
