What is the highest number of “thanks” you’ve gotten on a single post? (I don’t think that I’ve ever gotten more than seven or eight)

I imagine this is my highest one. I got 12. It is the newspaper article about George’s first visit to the United States.

What is this mysterious “clipboard duty” of @Mr. Kite’s that I keep hearing of?

You should probably ask the mods. It’s by them I was appointed.

It started when I got to the rooftop.

Kite’s clipboard has the official list with the names of those who have made it to the rooftop. He makes sure only authorized people are allowed up here. He knows that some people are authorized even though they haven’t made 1001 post (for example Paul and Ringo are allowed up anytime). That’s how the clipboard got started.

He also keeps other official memos there from time-to-time.

That’s pretty much it! And I help the mods if they’re in the break room.

I’m gonna try and find the picture of my clipboard for @Beatlebug now… Don’t know what thread I posted it in.

I say in speeches that a plausible mission of artists is to make people appreciate being alive at least a little bit. I am then asked if I know of any artists who pulled that off. I reply, 'The Beatles did'.

He is also in charge of ensuring undesirables do not get up, folk like Ms Heather Mills.

a-hard-days-night-ringo-8 Correct, you are.

There haven’t been any up here in so long that I’d forgotten about that part of his job description. I guess I should take a look at his logs sometimes to see how many times he has kept the undesirables away from the greatest party on Earth. You are keeping statistics, aren’t you, @Mr. Kite?

Of course! Heather Mills only showed up twice, once was at the BB House though, not the rooftop. While looking for the picture of my clipboard, I also found an incidence of extra people brought up to the rooftop with TBHF that mmm had me throw off the roof. It needed to be done!

My clipboard duties are complicated and not completely defined, @Beatlebug, so interesting question. ;)
