Why I Don't Make "Milestone" Posts
 

Because I become aware that I'm approaching one, then don't pay any damn attention, even when I've checked and know that I'm just five away ...

So, I started this thread in honor of my 5,016th post. In this incarnation of The Cellar.

5016 posts...that's truly awesome. What an incredible milestone! I'm speechless! I can't think of anything more to say!

It's truly an honor to add congratulations from my humble self to your 5016 post thread.
I'm not worthy. I'm not worthy I'm not worthy
:)

I'm very dissapointed in myself for not noticing the approach of 5000. I could have and should have made a big production out of it...all very embarrassing for you, I'm afraid, but in an endearing way.....you know. daRn

The great ones do it with such ease that no one even notices.

I believe 5k gives you uber-giant status. :)

Though I've read scant few your postings, I feel near and honored to share this milestone with the wolf who, well, to be frank, is a beacon of understanding in this dark, dark world. Let's hear it for Commitment Officers! If not for they, who would know oneself sane?

Or, ya know, there' bouts.

*wipes tear from eye* i'll be able to tell my grandchildren that i saw greatness...

Great job.

Of course, I'm not allowed to post from work.

I'm not even allowed to Look from work. :lol:

If I could post from work more regularly, I might be at 10,000 by now.

Congrats. I was so unaware of my 1,000th...I was like, "Oh well". *shrugs*

But :thumpsup: for you.

:eyeball::eyeball: oooh.

<---look. I'm almost at 4016!.

I don't post from work.

I occasionally read, but don't log in because I know that the minute I do I will be inundatated by patients or phone calls and will lose my new post markers ...

ha ha. ho ho. hee hee.

through the miracle of a system crash, i have been granted a second chance to make my 4000th post.

so here it is. {fingerpop, twirly}

was it good for you?

:beer: :thumb:

I coulda sworn there was a smiley with a party hat and one of those horn thingies that extends when you blow it, musta been some other board ... that's what I wanted to express for yah anyway.

*cough*

:cheerldr::celebrat::guinness::girlband: to you UT!
20,000 today!

bonc!

Holy macaroni!

cheers UT and I thank you for the posts. Thank you also for sharing yourself with us and giving us a place to share with one another.

/bows deeply/

I'mma let you finish, but hot_pastrami had the best understated cough ever.



Congrats, Tony! ;)

Thanks all y'all, I saw it coming up and thought it would be funny to resurrect this particular olde threade to notice it.

WOW, UT! You could collect all your posts into a book - "The wit and wisdom of the great Toad."

20,000 posts is simply awesome!

It's better if you turn your head. :D

Of those 20,001, how many do you remember?

How many total, with prior name(s?) added? More than bruce?

I don't think so, Bruce is still all-time champ.

Some people have a gift for gab. I was curious about who had started the most threads as a better indicator of whose gift was greatest. After spot checking a few, I found that the tally for the number of threads started ends with the 500 most recent. Is the count continued elsewhere; or, is that the limit of the program?

What difference does it make? Number of posts/ number of threads, both are history. What's important is who posts next, who keeps it alive and flowing.









Oh, and hits the tip jar occasionally.

I was also wondering if senior citizens with the gift of gab were more prone to having senior moments. Thank you for your input.

I think the numbers may get skewed by the IotD.

Is jinx saying that Undertoad has sock puppets?

I wanna get me some underpant puppets

No... but he was here before 2001.

UT has done more than anyone.

Oh no doubt, bruce thats what I was getting at - ya ole codger.

I got one. It's lotsa fun!

Is it an elephant?

with white ears?

More like a mouse (well, maybe a rat), with blue ears.:p:

So, I thought that I remembered a milestone post thread, one that wasn't this one, and I'm pretty sure it was where jim tried the whole "I'm quitting at 10k and becoming one of my alter egos" only I couldn't find it anywhere, and since I couldn't post to ask where that thread is to post (because that would waste my post) and no one comes into chat anymore, AND I didn't want to be stuck mute for the rest of my life, I'm glomming onto this thread.

my first 1,000 posts!

go me!

oops posted in another thread before seeing this post - sorry.

oh and congrats on joining the millennium club

Happy 5,000th post to me!
Happy 5,000th post to me!
Happy 5,000th post you sexy bastard!
Happy 5,000th post to me!

Big hug and a sloppy kiss for yah.

From Sheldon.

;)

Sheldon's prolly a nice guy and all, but...

Ya know what, fukkit, I'm just glad he stopped at a kiss.

:D

yey for your 5000th post!


[eta] oh hey lookie there. I ain't so far from 14,000 mark.

milestone!

another!

Plus another thousand I accidently deleted or previewed and forgot to submit. Need more proof I don't have a life?

Life is highly overrated. In fact, a lot of it sucks balls.


50,000 though...I salute you, sir.

Not just any 50k either. Quality 50k.
