There has been discussion, in this thread as well as others, as to exactly what this MOAB is. Is it a movement? Is it a religion? Is it a hallucination? Whatever it is, it seems to have taken on a life of its own. Well, anything that has a life of its own must be alive, right? And anything that's alive that spends as much time on the Mudcat as the MOAB does really should be a member of the forum.

Therefore, on this, the first anniversary of the MOAB's birth, I have given her the gift of a Mudcat membership in her own name. Yes, our Mother is no longer just a thread! She is now a bona fide Mudcatter with her own screen name and she will be posting here soon! Isn't it exciting?

Now, since MOAB belongs to all of us, it is not appropriate that her membership be hogged by one jerkoff southern redneck asshole. It should be spread among all the assholes of various stripes that hang out here. But, I'm not gonna just post the password that can allow anyone to pretend he or she is MOAB. That would be inviting chaos, anarchy and the hijacking of MOAB's identity by assholes who are not MOABites (as opposed to assholes who are).   So, if you will send me a PM requesting it, I will let you know what MOAB's password is so that you can log her on from your computer.

The potential for BS of a totally new ilk lies before us!
