How do you find a mod like Avatea?

During the Ustream chat, thanks to constant "Sound of Music" references, Positron suggested the song "How do you solve a problem like Avatea?" Zwillinger then said that Posi'd have to write it. But knowing how busy Matt is on the endgame content thing (and Steelclaw hopefully still busy on his Non-Offensive Thread), I wrote it for him.

I give you:

"How Do You Find a Mod Like Avatea?"
(sung to the tune of "How do you solve a problem like Maria?" from THE SOUND OF MUSIC)

She speaks a dozen languages
Her glasses are da bomb
She’s quelle surprise among the guys
A real life mental dom
And underneath that moddish style
She’s got lots of aplomb

She even lets Zwill sing around the studio

She’s never late for meetings
Her niceness is all real
She stays on top of everything
And handles it with zeal
And yes we love to say
Coz we very firmly feel

That Avatea’s a gift to the studio

So to say a word on her behalf
We all love her laugh

How do you find a mod like Avatea?
How do you catch such charm and make it yours?
How do you find a word for Avatea?
Une demoiselle? Mais oui, c’est vrai toujours!

Many a thing we’ve sent PMs to tell her
Many a problem that she understands
And that she’ll sit and stay
And listen all the way
How does she put up with all our demands?

How do you find a mod like Avatea?
For we are all her tres adoring fans!

When she’s with us, we’re enthused
Even when we’re all confused
About what Zwillinger has tried to say
Though she’s shy as she can be
It’s all her we want to see
On the Ustream when it airs each Wednesday

She can silence any troll
With a word or two quite droll
She could even make Jranger want to post
She is cheerful, she’s in charge,
She’s the mod who’s living large
And we all know she’s the redname
With the most!

How do you find a mod like Avatea?
Who so enriches our community?
How do you find a word for Avatea?
Ein dame messe? Naturlich! Wir lieben sie!

Many a thing we know we’d like to ask her
Many a thing we think she’d understand
But with Black Pebble there
Sadly all too aware
Our questions vanish off to la la land

But how do you find a mod like Avatea?
For we are all her tres adoring fans!

Bravo!

Excellent.

Magnificent!

Very well done.

So.... we can expect the complete music video sometime next week, right?

I guess nobody's expecting me to sing it, fortunately enough!

Thank you Dark_Respite, you're as creative as ever I don't think I can live up to all of that but songs notoriously enhance one's qualities. I also note I've fooled you all with my shy demeanour!!!!

It's mildly disturbing that that melody was what immediately popped into my head when I saw the thread subject in the forum list...

Haha
Bravo!!

Shy? I dunno... But, Avatea, you offered me chocolate... free of charge... combined with how cool and helpful you've always been... that's more than enough to be the best around here (besides, it's not like that says that much... JUST KIDDING).

Hehe, great job, DR!
And here's to the red name with the most!

Bravo! Both to the hugely talented composer, and the lovely subject. The City is richer for ladies like you!
