Our Global Rockstar and Rising Moderator (may be wrongly matched) turns 17 today!

This news item is more than 45 days old. Updates are unlikely and newer information may already be available.

Born 6 years before the Labour Party pushed forward banning smoking sponsorship at sporting events (which was probably excellent foresight on his parent's part), William, also known as Willy, Mushroom, PirateMushroom and "That Guitar Hero Whinier" turns 17 today! And not yesterday, which would make this news item late.

Besides moderating, Mushroom is interested in 'stuff' such as performing the musical "We Will Rock You." He also likes drooling over fictional German male rockstars, carrying on the trend of PKMN.NET staff's ambiguous sexual preferences. In addition to that, he can now enjoy such pleasures as driving and remembering to write '7' and not '6' when filling out a form.

Like any PKMN.NET mod, Mushroom has a gimmick to attract the mindless in cheering him on, its a bit like the WWE when you also consider that a mod's slightest mistake would lead him (or her, or s/he) being thrown through a table. Mushroom's is music, and like any serious musician he plays when he's moderating a Pokémon site, often leading to this scene:

THREE. WORDS. THREE. LOUSY. WORDS.

Break the rules again and he will rock you.

However Mushroom is good enough of a mod not to be thrown through the table, nor has he yet to be held in the dreaded 'TripleLockMoveHold.'

We'd like to thank him for his work and wish him the happiest of birthdays! Achtung, Baby!
