But then, why would a QCB need an escort, since he already has a card?

Enlightened, Enebriated?
No, I'm not padding my post count. It only goes up once per thread per 24 hours (U.S. Mountain Std. Time).

You are all heading in the wrong direction here ....
WP = someone who is Waiting Patiently
SG = someone who is Surreptitiously Gratified
PS = someone who is Pationately Spirited
NB = someone who is Never Bored

C2H5OH = ethanol (aka EtOH if you are an organic chemist). The most important chemical compound on the QF board.

WP = Wealthy (or w*nkered) Platinum
SG = Sh*tfaced Gold
PS = Pissed Silver

Yes, let's get back onto topic before Willyroo see's it.
Og, I believe, coined the first phrase "s... gold" in a post somewhere. If I could be bothered looking I'm sure I'd find it.
W..... means one given to unproductive activity
S... means impurities that rise to surface of liquid
Now you can work on these two and deduce the rest, I'm sure....

Of course, the P.... Silver could always means "lying with face to ground..." especially after the session that we had in BNE QC 
Very apt word to use with your suggested answer, Aura.

<serious mode>I suppose I should try ... pathetic or paltry?
I suppose I would like to be a WSP (Wealthy, Sh*tfaced Platinum), but I am currently a PSoB (Poor Sober Bronze)

Well, according to my Oxford Reference Dictionary (yeah, yeah, I know ... nobody believes I own a dictionary based on the way I spell/type), the P-word means: "working-class person, esp an uncultured one". That would fit many of us in BNE last Firday!
