The Landmark Thread

*ahem* welcome one and all to post number 2000. you may leave giftcards in the basket. please enjoy a beverage and some cake. :band: :devil: :guinness: :biggrindu :beer:

I've seen people comment on their landmark posts in whatever topic they were posting in at the time. I thought if we are going to take the time to mention our landmark posts, maybe we should have asingle thread in which to do so.

this is it.

I bestow upon you all this thread as my vain way of drawing attention to myself and my 2000th post.

What kind of beverage? Oh, and congrats on being, uh, a poster boy!--now, where's that beverage..?

Frigging bah. I was gonna start this thread. .. but mostly just to rack up more posts. :p

Congrats on 2000, lookout..

and congrats on 1000, Zippyt. :)

heh,heh - she said "rack"

oh.. here I thought it was going to be about this..

http://sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2005/02/06/BAG0VB5JH71.DTL



well I'm hoping that hotlink will work when I submit this.. and yeah? did you mention beverages?

nope? oh well check it out it's funny.. in a way only california can be.

I realized the other day I missed 4000, that was silly.

Well, my stats are:

Total Posts: 1,269 (0.85 posts per day).

Now, in my defense, I do work for a living and do not post from work, which reduces my available time. At the current rate, I will not reach post 2000 for 860 days.

um.... 859 days?

A 1.43 acre lot, in "the valley" is worth over $7 million? Carumba! :eek:

I didn't even notice that i had hit 1000 posts untill today ,
I must say that time realy does fly when your haveing fun !!!

Wow, this is a landmark week, apparently. This is post 1000 for me as well. And I honestly wouldn't have even noticed that I was at 999 if this thread hadn't been started... so thanks lookout, for reminding me to celebrate. :)

Woo! 157!
<small>Hey, I <i>like</I> number one hundred and fifty-seven. </small> :thumbsup:

I typically realize that I've had a "landmark post" somewhere between 20 to 30 posts later.

Bugger! I might even get near to 200 soon....

welcome to my world. anyone wanna buy a condo in burbank for $650,000? It's 1050 sq feet, two bedroom in a not very nice part of town.

good thing professional musicians are all millionaires, right SM?

Woo hoo! 500 posts!

(probably should've celebrated post #404 but this thread wasn't here then) :)

I just wanted

to say that

I now have 500 posts.

Hmm ... rounding turn three to 500 ... that word association thread could potentially put me over the top.

Not if you keep typing that fast, it won't.

Quite unbelieveably, I actually noticed this time.

Woohoo! 698! Yaaaaay! :typing: :beer: :doit:

For the record, I am a hair and legs kinda guy. But not hairy legs. No no. Nice head of hair & nice hairless legs are good.

This is his hobby.

Late to this thread... Griff, where'd you get the Herky pic? I walk by them every day! --Well, I did when they were up...

Google image search "landmark" I believe. :biggrin:

ok folks this is post number 2500. that is cool, but i just realized that i've dropped 500 posts in like 36 days. :eek: i may have to stop for awhile.

Woo! 200! I'm a postin' maniac!

Congrats, lookout :D Kind of making this thread counterproductive if you stop posting because of it, though. . .

Your math was off, LJ. But at these scales, that could be attributed to rounding error. Good Grief! Who knew Yoda and Gandi's sensei had so much to say.

Congrats xoB on piercing the 10000 mark!

500 posts, but it's kinda lonely...

Anybody out there? (echo [SIZE=2][COLOR=DimGray]echo[/COLOR][/SIZE] [SIZE=1][COLOR=Silver]echo[/COLOR][/SIZE])

shit I'm still a newbie and I think I spend too much time here... I guess I'm right past 300.. gimmie some time and some inspiration!

You need only to look to xoxoxoBruce's post count for inspiration. :)

Uh,...thanks. But it's no big deal. There were probably only 25 reasonable, rational, thought out posts. The rest are just smart-ass remarks, anecdotes and biased opinions. :blush:

well. this is post number 3000. nothing exciting or new to say. i think i'll shut the computer off now, the wife will be home soon. it's time to go to Las Vegas!

OMIGOD it's too late to tell you, then, that 3001 is an incredibly mystically lucky number!

sweet. good thing i was editing one of my other posts then, huh? :D

And an interesting, but not particularly inspired, book.

1K posts!

Well, 1K plus this one.

Edit: :highfive backatcha: thx

:highfive:

and now for my 4600th post, here is my 4600th post!

tada!

Oh LJ ,you sick puppy , you !!!!!!

Ive been here since October 2003, and only have just over 500 posts. But in my opinion, i feel i spend a lot of time here in the cellar.. how the hell do you people do it! You must be speedreaders, and highly opinionated typists!!

Or maybe you all hang out in the ASSOCIATION threads too much ;)

No, we just have no lives.

Hey I joined about the same time as you (I think - what does it say? <--- ) and I didn't cross the 600 post threshold until just a month or two ago.

I feel like my activity here comes in spurts. I'll disappear for a few weeks, come back and post actively for a week or two, then off I go again.

But it's not that I'm not keeping up - I do read through new posts at least once a day.

I try to be active and contribute as much as I can hammer out after long days at work - but I think I'm a definite frontrunner for the thread killer prize.


:worried: :eek:

Number of posts doesn't count, only quality counts. I enjoy your stuff b-news!

Thread-killing only means everybody agreed with you... not a bad thing.

but I think I'm a definite frontrunner for the thread killer prize.

That's because you bring the definitive words of wisdom so often...like Budda......or Chairman Mao. :biggrin:

Woo hoo! 100 whole posts! Wow, do I feel special.....

Congratulations!

whatever, i think wolf just wanted to create a leftcoast persona. ;)

:D I barely have time to keep up with one posting personality!

sorry, i thought the whole multiple personality syndrome crap might be catching... you nut wranglers have to be careful.

Yes, it is contagious. We know this.

Some of us, however, are non-symptomatic carriers.

OK, here is my landmark 50th post!!!!!! Whew hoooo!!!!!!

[SIZE=1]Plus 137 other posts.[/SIZE]

Way to go, RS!

Please send my regards to the folks at the other place...can't keep up with that board at the moment.

And here we are...my 9000th post. In the words of Bad Religion, "So hooray for me...and fuck you!" :)

I agree. In part. You guess which part.

Way to go yourself, Sycamore. I didn't realize when I posted my 50th that I would be involved in your 9000th.

Is this my 1500th post? I can't believe it! I've been here nearly a year!! :)

:jig: :thumb:

BigV wrote:

I love you, BigV. You're such a sweetie pie.

I was kidding about my 50th being such a big milestone, but I didn't expect to quickly get trumped twice. Kid of adds to the comic relief of it.

Congrats to you too Brianna, and may the next year be great for you.

Another Snapshot Moment...

3500 and counting.

almost 8 posts per day. motormouth. [/jealous]

Yeah, even I only do about 6 per day ...

well, as someone once pointed out - us stockbrokers are just greedy attention whores. ;)

This makes a round grand.

Well done dar, you've earned a car in the cars thread!

First >10000 word post. I was all, like, wtf?! hehehe...Got to give a shout out to mrnoodle, without whom it never would have been possible. take a bow, noodle.

Yeah, but were they all necessary? :lol:

I think I may have finally posted something this morning that didn't piss anyone off......

For my 300th post I thought I might say something really, really nice.............. Nah.......
ok. I love you folks! :grouphug: :beer:

Here's to 300! :guinness: :vader1: I decided I'd use the vader here since I've got no use for it elsewhere. b

2000 :lame:

I think somebody should recognize this landmark. I will do so by flying my flag at half mast tomorrow. :rar: :(

CNN started recognizing it at 1,998. "That means with only two more deaths we will be at the 2000 mark..."

Expect that with 2,002 they will say "That's only two more than the 2000 mark..."

just 49 posts to go to reach 5,000. I may retire the username. i think i might have used up all of my spare email addresses with frivolous psuedonyms, tho. gaddamn BigMcLargeHuge.

what about this one?

no, too useful in ironic circumstances.

I always miss my landmarks...

Finally made it beyond 1,000.....
And ALLRIGHT.........U.T. picked my tagline suggestion!
Love you guys. I love it here. :beer:

And 3000 for Brianna! :celebrat: WooT

BigV......
what happened to 1305 of your posts?
:confused:

BigV meant that lumberjim is at 4,999 posts.

I just discovered this thread and missed my 668 landmark.
(Nextdoor neighbor of the beast)

C'est la vie. Or as we say in my neighborhood: oh well.

cock

Well there ya go, that wasn't so hard now was it.

what? the cock?

I just passed 11K and didn't even notice.

11K! Thats a pretty good run. I hope you were defending the enforcement clause of the Bill of Rights when it happened.

Cruisin' along at 2000 posts. :driving:

:celebrat: WooHoo!!

So...patient.

You go, glatt! Good use of smiley, too!

Made the 1-k today!

Nice work BB! But it can't be as satisfying as 1-k meals made in (and around) your kitchen. Congrats!

yay Buster!!

1K of lotsa neat and interesting stuff too!

Oh, hey, uh, apparently I hit 2000... a few posts ago anyway. :lobstah:

Two thousand! Bravo, Clodfobble, bravo!

I knew you were a keeper

Hey, I just noticed UT passed 10,000 about 69 posts ago! :band:

Bruce, you'd better get cracking if you expect to maintain that 400-something post lead... :)

Actually, I've been considering changing my user ID. :cool:

You can just ask me to rename you if you prefer.

I was watching the odometer but missed the actual post that put me over.

It seems to have a strange effect on some peoples perception.

can't handle all the respect and admiration?

They don't tighten the ball gag and restraints like they used to......and way too much anal lube. :(

that's just cuz you don't say "thanks" loud enough when they don't lube ya.

It's the ball gag...honest.:D

[LEFT]2500 baby!:jig::celebrat::beer::doit:

Way to go Rich! Congrats! Tis a pleasure to read your posts - all 2,500 of 'em! ;)

post #1000: Shawnee123

Thanks Flint!

I wonder who has the highest posts-per-day?

Had my 2000th recently and I have not, significantly, pissed anyone off in a while.
On my bad pain days, Flint, I may be in the running for that.

I'm 10.32 ppd

Oh me, oh my! Strut your little stuff, Mr. Hot Shit 10.32 ppd . . .

Bruce is at 12.08 posts per day.

Does that suprise anyone?

Hmmm...well it'd be cool if I could get up to 3 ppd. Then you'd all have something to really complain about. ;)

after last night you should be well on your way, no?

Damnit. I passed 2,000 and missed it.

Is there a way to determine what my 2,000th post was, without a hassle?

Go to your profile, and check out the 'see all posts by this person' part. Start counting. See you in a few days. Or, count backwards from whatever # you are on now, if you are in a hurry.

Or, make that your 2000th post by deleting 22 others.

Flint wrote:

Or you could have just claimed that your post in this thread was your 2000th post. Everyone reading it would assume you had made 22 posts since then. Not such a stretch, and nobody would go back to check.

By the way, this is my 3,500th post. ;)

I'm over two grand.

Glad UT doesn't narrow it down to 'quality posts'. I'd prolly still be in the single digits.

Okay, this is my Commemorative 2006th Post (my plan all along...)

could go off early, too.

i can't believe i used my 6000th post to say that

I missed it, but yay me on 1000 I guess :blush:

lumberjim wrote:

I expected you to say something else. Like...well you know.

Cock.

2000!

Every post from here on in is a landmark for me simply because I've never made it to 1000 posts at any forum before being banned. ;)

Just goes to show how tolerant you people are. lol

It just shows the amount of leeway we have on the definition of "intolerably annoying."

It also means that there must be lots of other people here just like me. ;)

(absolutely, you're one of the gang and a really good sport. Particularly when you post drunk.)

lol...thanks wolf. I'll try to be drunk more often. :)

I think that's something to strive for. Care if I join you in your quest?

absolutely not. :) I'm sure Ducks will be in on it too...and a few others as well. Im fact, I might just go get myself a drink now.

I'm in early tonite :D

tis Melbourne Cup eve n all ....thats a good enough excuse - yeah?? :blush:

WOLF!!!!! I so want to party with you pissed (thats drunk in aussie), have you posted whilst seriously tanked before?? I want to read those posts.

Dude. You can't ever post again.

:lol:

I just sold a service contract for $2112 in honor of your 2112th post, Ib.

now, if i could just get someone to honor xoxoxobruce in the same fashion.....

so what is that about $1900 in leg, LJ?

The term 'leg' ....or 'air' or 'fluff' refers to a deliberately overestimated monthly payment. when a customer knows enough to negotiate the interest rate, and knows the sale price, and even the amount financed, the salesman will occasionally tell them that their payment is $20-$50 more than it actually is. They do it because they can always come down, and if the customer says yes, it makes it much easier to sell ancillary items because the actual payment increase is hidden therin. It is actually illegal to do this intentionally, but very hard to prove that it wasn;t just a mistake in the quotation.

The service contract referenced above retails for $2495, so I actually discounted it to get to that price. If you meant 'profit'...then no, nowhere near that much profit. most service contract have 100% profit margin,IOW about half of the price = cost.

it's illegal for you guys to throw leg in? not down here. it is the assumed practice. when i was selling i knew i'd have one seriously pissed off f&i guy if i didn't give him at least $15/month to play with in back.

800 woohoo. :)

Whoa, I totally missed my 2500th

1000 - Thats amazing!

Bruce, I know you're all cool about postcounts and ey'thing....but, shit man...... 20K! strut it a li'l bit, whydoncha?

That's right, I've been here a year as of today. One year.

And surely more to come!

ive been here a long time too - longer than a lot of the more *scofff* popular people. - but for some reason it feels as if im still a bit of a shadow. i think i kind of like that though

If you weren't always blocking my sun you'd seem a lot less shadowy to me.

Being popular can be cool, but just being is even better, Sun.

My 2,450 post!
And thanks to Cloud for making me pay attention to the numbers for once.

900! At this rate I might get to .6 posts per week or something.

8K.... I'd better get job hunting.:headshake

Job hunting? Is that the way for the next president to talk?

Just expressing my confidence in the good sense of the 'Merican People.

It's been a year since I first signed on to the Cellar. Happy Anniversary to me.

Things I've learned from the Cellar:

There are wonderful (funny, smart, caring) people the world over.

There are mean (selfish, dispassionate, hurtful) people the world over.

I'm not as funny as I think I am. :)

I can be overbearing. Everything is not all about me.

I have good qualities that some people appreciate.

I may be the most hated person on the Cellar.

I like learning about other's opinions, and have even had second thoughts about some of my deeply ingrained opinions.

I learned what FSM, tubgirl, and that hand/buttspread thing I can't think of the name of is.

I've learned that coffee out the nose hurts.

I've learned that I'm a big wimp softy who takes things too personally (I actually already knew that...I just didn't know it was universal.) :)

I've also learned that I still put some importance on being asked to sit at the cool table.

I thank you all for the good times, the bad times, and all the times in between. Thanks for the laughs, the tears, and the opportunities to take a second look at myself.

You're an eclectic, wonderful, smart group of folks.

Whether ya hate me or not. ;)

That's got to be one of the best posts ever in this thread.

So many people have so many opinions. Alot of them are false so just be yourself without care of the others perceptions. After all you are not a mean troll. You are a nice person. So...Shawnee....YOU are ok just how you are!

Amen on the free rent thing, sky. I'm learning, too.

I'm coming up on 4,000 posts, so now is as good a time as any to post (it'll be past before I realize it).
I'm pretty sure that still puts me in the top 20 posters, even though I was away from the board for a little while there.

Unbelievable in volume and quality. Many thanks for being here.

Hey congratulations Mr. Talky McNevershutsup.

I'm more than twice as good as you. Plus I can stand on the bed and pee out the window.

Prove it.

2,422 x 2 = 4,844

I meant the peeing thing... got a youtube or something to back you up?

Precisely, I got a meTube, but you don't got a youTube. Back up? I'll let you back up on it.

I see Bruce is at 23,000 posts! Thanks for being such a big part of the Cellar.

I just noticed I posted my 2000th post today...

Holy cow.

I miss all my landmarks. I'm too busy impersonating Mr Talky Mcnevershutup.

I miss mine by trying to be whimsical.

nevermind.

I was stuck at 992 for awhile.....almost! there!

Oh and another thing ... race you to 2,000?

I think I'll make a huge big deal about crossing 10,000.

maybe i'll just dump the user name at 9,999. I think I might have threatened to do that at 5,000. This time i just might be serious.

Gee thanks! :D
I was expecting... "Please do not ask for cred, as refusal often offends." :p

Ooooh Zen I missed it!!! How in the hell did you do that? Holy shit?!? Is this some sort of cellar-record?!?


Hey! Congratu-rations!!!

Oh and get off my tail.....
:stickpoke

Thanks Cicero, I was wondering how many more hints I was going to have to drop.

My recent surge was while playing pun-tennis with Shawnee. I hope to have more games soon. :D

I'll be off your tail soon enough ... when I pass you! Mwahahahaha!

I'm keeping a wary eye on this Classicman chap. He's posting like a fiend - his early tallies were over 30 per day. He's fading and I'm wondering about his stamina though.

Mmmm...this just means that you can't handle chat...it's just too real for you isn't Zen? You spend all day posting when all the cool people are chatting....


:)

:lol:

maybe.

I'd plead my timezone as an excuse ... but here we are.

Maybe I just know that my utterances are so profound, my quips so witty, that they are worthy of being preserved for posterity.

Oooh posterior! That means bottom. Anyone for a fart joke? Bthththzzzzzz!

There's a thread for preserving posterity already.....
I posted and preserved my posterity there...you should try it....

Or maybe everything you say echoes into eternity anyway?

Great it's been good having you bye!

I guess I'm not done - Here's to #200

This is to mark the landmark of my birth. I post therefore I am.

Well done, Sir!
And still at over 20 per day too, I note.
Jolly good show old bean, carry on!

I I make one more post, I'll have one more post.

Another 200 and I'll hit 6000. Just imagine that. 6000 posts mostly filled with crap. Now that's something to be proud of.

ok, this is my 6000'th post. I don't have anything worthwhile to say with it other than thanks for putting up with me and imagine how annoying I'll be by the time I hit 10k!!!

Congrats Ali - thats a major milestone - of sorts.

Ohhhhhh Shawneeeeeeeee!

I see you're on 5,999.

C'mon punmeister, whatya got? Its your 6K post!
Will it be O-K?
Will it be Y2K?
Will it be a coral cay in the Bay of Biscay?
Congrats in advance!

I missed my 1000th - oh well.

i'm very dissapointed though. i had intended for lumberjim to end on the brink of 10k..... and had gotten used to using LJ....since everyone always called me that anyway.....and it's so easily recognizable as a shape when scanning.....

now i dont know which name to carry on with...now that the jig is up. on one hand, it's an opportunity to do some attention whoring...which is good...and on the other... there really isnt any difference between the two, and no reason to post as both.....so....which one? guess i'll shut the fuck up about it already and just go back to using lumberjim as my regular name. sorry everyone for this little failed escapade. i'll try to be a big jerk as often as possible, and make you uncomfortable as often as possible. as is my role.

Congrats on your milleniation, Classicman.
1,000 posts at just on 20 posts per day. Very impressive.

See, classicman has great stamina! ;)

Being as how this is the internet and all, aren't such things more Ethermarks than Landmarks?

Good question Monster.
But that question serves better as a punchline in an "LJ is so fat" joke.

I like Mr.Jinx too. It has a little Je ne sais pas.

I hope that means classy.

Je ne sais quoi means I don't know what - it has something you can't quite define - usually accepted as being classy :)
Je ne sais pas would simply mean (roughly) I don't know and therefore could relate to any number of things.

It's about the same size on my monitor too, but it's like 4 times as big as the original.

Another one for the 10K club! :beer: to ya, mate!

I am such a post ho! I haven't even been here that long.

Shut up Shawnee! :)

Oh, I just type fast. ;)

I thought he sounded smarter today, now I know why.

just another 970,000 to a cool million. ok, nerds,......what date should i set on my calendar for that momentous occasion?

Hmmm, lets see. 30,042 then another 6.5 and it seems a 4621.7 is in order. how many leap years... 7:54 daylight savings time 6:28 and another 37,857.12

Meh, I'm just filler between the important posts.

15,000

Congratulations Jim, that's a nice round number you have there.

Another 5,000 posts, and you'll qualify for a brand new car!

Maybe you should keep it at 15k even and go back to using the LJ account... nevermind

For some reason I'm reminded of the "5 time guest host" club on Saturday Night Live.

8000. What do I win?

30,267.

Oh, wait! This is for number of posts on the Cellar, huh?


Never mind.

Yeah, ok JIM.

Post counts, as of RFN:

Dana: 9,904
Brianna: 9,678
Sundae Girl: 9,625

Who will be the first to myriate? Dana has a strong lead, but her recent illness might slow her down. Brianna and Sundae are closely matched. Meanwhile, Glatt on 9,245 and Lookout on 9,135 are both in the running.


And in the junior league, we have:

Sweetwater 999
Spudcon 996
BreakingNews 994

It's neck-and neck for the milleniation cup! Binky on 977 and Pico and Me on 976 are further back but are in position to make a dash for the line if the first three falter.

Ladbrokes of London are taking bets now!

Race?

You can celebrate the 10,000 or the 1,000.
I'll celebrate any damn one I want.

I was just going to send him an email and let him know. :)

my email address is no secret

At least that one isn't. He's got about 40 more for his sock-puppetry and nefarious shenanigans. :lol2:

i still have like 1000 jimhelm.net or jimhelm.org email addresses available if anyone wants one.

I wish i knew how many sock puppets I have. I should have kept a list somewhere
maybe a sockpuppet thread is in order.

i think the betting tips thread is serving that purpose quite well?

I'm closing on 6k. Another 3 months at this rate.

Forty bloody thousand. Holy moly.

999

999 mostly pointless and largely unnoticed posts.

999 posts seems a lot to me but after five-and-a-half years that only works out at one every couple of days. It’s nothing, is it.

I was directed here by a friend from another site, someone I never actually met, and never will now, he passed away a short while back. I never thanked him for his tip. I know he wasn’t the sort of guy who ever needed thanks so I hope we’re cool and if Jannah is real I’ll sort it out there.

My previous experience of message boards were either of the music-based types or centred around my lifelong hobby of motorsport so this more general sort of place was new to me. I’ve enjoyed the place thoroughly but I’m not the most ‘chatty’ of people by nature so perhaps I’ve never really fitted in too well.

Anyway, thanks to everyone who has responded to any of my nonsense over these years. 999 is a great number and this seems like an excellent point for me to disappear now into full lurk mode.

R...W

Wait.

I don't think you should go Rhianne. I've always found your posts to be quite thoughtful. I wonder now also who your friend was that died. Was it someone we all knew? Is that why you're not going to post any more?

I for one would love it if you could fill us in.

Where ever you go, I hope life is kind to you. :)

Don't go, Rhianne! Wait a while, and I'm sure we can get that fourth digit in. It won't hurt, I promise!

Years ago, there was a dwellar named Catwoman who reached 1000 posts and then vanished. This reminds me of that.

Did you ever see Catwoman and Rhianne in the same room at the same time?

I love Rhianne's posts. Don't go!

All we wanna do when we wake up in the morning is see your posts
Rhianne, Rhianne,
We never thought that a dwellar like you would ever leave us be, Rhianne
All we wanna do in the middle of the evening is read what you write
Rhianne, Rhianne
We didn't know you were looking for more than we could ever be


Chorus:
Not quite a day since she went away, Rhianne yeah
Now she's gone and we have to say
Meet you all the way, meet you all the way, Rhianne yeah
Meet you all the way, meet you all the way, Rhianne yeah


We can see your face still shining through the browser on the other side
Rhianne, Rhianne
We didn't know that a girl like you could make us feel so sad, Rhianne

Rhianne, Rhianne
We never thought that losing you could ever hurt so bad

see, if I was a mod, I would delete your oldest post, keeping you at 998. I would let you know it, and keep it up until you cried mercy.

See? Power corrupts.

Thats why i never vote for me.

Too much typing, I do.

Wow, look at the man go!

I remember when Bruce was the first one to hit 20,000. Next couple of years, it'll be commonplace.

Hit the 2K ... I'm just a babe in the woods compared to you guys.

y2k?





y not!

Well, you are a babe, and are often in the woods.

Thanks. ;)
And I'm pretty much out of the woods now ...

Coming up to my eight year anniversary. 28 September.
I know it's not a landmark post, but it struck me today, literally*, how long I have know many of you and how much I value you.

* now I know I can use it with abandon I'ma gonna.

For an internet activity, that is literally a long time association... literally.

I am literally over the moon about your longevity here. :)

Eight years is enough time to really get to know people. You've become one of the pillars of the Cellar, Sundae. On September 28 I'll say 'Many Years' for you, both within and without the Cellar. Keep on keeping on, gurl.
