1,000

Nicolas, I'm sorry I was AWOL on Saturday. If I'd been here, I certainly would have posted that day. Congratulations and many, many thanks to you and Sebastien of the Greenwood.

I considered trying to emulate Huntsy's very gracious and graceful response to reaching this milestone, but I decided I couldn't possibly approach his level, so I'm not even going to try.

Warmest regards to Huntsy, Klumpy, Muffy, Jeff, Liv, Major, Wank, Shug, Seb Briggs, Pitch, Mr. Mit, Heather, Mario, Marco, Tabsy, Facsy, Ben, Dutch Jim, Brian, Chris P, Martin, AJ, VG, CTD, Hooky M, Inta Don, and everybody else in this delightful little community.

Shug, I'm sorry I caused you so much frustration last Friday. The pressure was too much for me.

Well, I'm glad to get that over with.

Congratulations on joining the high flying 1k club!

this should be my 100th post :)

blimey im only 10% of the way there... :o

A hearty "Welcome in" from the world's first 1,000 post room general. You'll find the snacks taste far superior in this exclusive section of the boat.

Congratulations indeed on reaching carriage clock status. I'll never get there, I couldn't get to 50 without incurring the wrath of the powers that be, and though lesson has been learned and I have been sweetness and light personified ever since, I probably couldn't think of another 819 things to say ! :D

Thanks, Inta Don. Thanks, Huntsy. Thanks, Mr. Mit. So, Huntsy, does that mean I will now be able to get those "special" Pringles flavors?

Its the stuff of dreams isn't it!... if you want a taste of heaven just drop me a tinkle and I'll despatch in time for Christmas. Only special millennium post people receive such things.

They actually sell a flavor called "Cajun" here, Huntsy, that I haven't had the courage to try.

Concerning the good shepherds He thus speaks: "Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, St. Augustine of Hippo (354-430)

Patrician,you are like a bright light, in an dark (Ford) Galaxy that illuminates under the seat, where a stray pringle was dropped.

Well, Wank, I think we have all felt the need many times to retrieve that stray Pringle just out of reach under the seat.

Well, COngratulations PAT!!!

1003 it is already. Just go on like this and the Huntsman will get nervous!!

As we were last few days. Man, the tension, it really excited us very much. Thanks for that!

And to be honest, I also do not see how I will ever fill the 1000 posts!!

CU! :D:D:D

Many congrats to your, dear Patrick. My goal in life is to reach the 5.000 posts by the end of the year. Just kidding...

Thanks, Dutch Jim. I don't think Huntsy has anything to be nervous about.

Thanks, Klumpy. You're the closest thing to a saint in these here parts. You could always try the multiple posts route, or the one word per post approach that has recently appeared. I've been tempted to infiltrate the French forum, but I thought people might be offended if I started writing English there.

When you decide to attack Patty let me know... the temptation to cause outrage with our close pal Booster the Rooster Cogburn as general manager is almost too much for a homo sapian to handle.

We could kick-off a topic entitled: "Frogs, what's the deal?"

As for cajun flavour... I think I've just fallen off the back of my chair.

A saint, Patrick ? Well, why not

As for the multiple postings, I prefer to stick with the old-fashioned and boringly honest method.

Pat, it's time someone told you the truth: Once you reach 1000 posts, Nic and Seb send giant gorillas with laser guns attached to your heads. Why they do this, I can only speculate, but I imagine they might try to harm you....or maybe it's like Logan's Run, where you get so far before you're "eliminated".....

Well, at any rate congrats....

Well, Huntsy, the infiltration of the French forum is something to be planned with great care. Precisely the right moment needs to be chosen. Perhaps a concealed container of Cajun flavor Pringles should be planted in advance.

Klumpy, I never really expected you would take any shortcuts on the long and winding road to 5,000 feet.

So, Tabsy, are you suggesting perhaps that ever since reaching 1,000 the posts appearing under Huntsy's and Klumpy's names have really been composed by pod-people?

Good to see you back Patrick. For a while i really thought you were history! I am a little late with this , i had some serious problems with the computer. But it is O.K.Computer now again.

Super Mario is correct, I myself thought Patty may have left the building on a semi-permanent basis given his almost 9 hour absence a week last tuesday.

Evidently he is back and we should thank our lucky stars that I am still around.

Thanks, Mario; the pressure was just too much for me. I couldn't decide what to say, or when to say it.

Now the question is whether Martin will follow my example.

Well, yes, Huntsy, it appears we're taking turns giving the impression of vanishing points.

Originally posted by Patrick Well, yes, Huntsy, it appears we're taking turns giving the impression of vanishing points.

indeed we were beginning to think that you were just....

some distant memory...

but as is so often the case, only time can tell....

welcome back to the forbidden city...!!

(yes im sure theres more!!!)

I'm not sure... you can only get away with it for so long.

It's kind of like an addiction, Inta Don.

indeed.. theres always that ermm, Temptation... ;)

And then what happens, Huntsy?

Well, Jeff, thanks. I think 674 is pretty respectable.

Hey G-Man, well done on reaching the 'miles ahead of the rest of us club'. Now that you have Movement perhaps you'll feel tempted to buy fresh vegetables, steam them in the microwave and apply a liberal sprinkling of those Cajun pringles you can't bring yourself to try! Go on, you know you want to!

in new orleans (and most of south louisiana) Zapps potato chip company makes a delicious crisp called "Spicy Cajun Crawtaters"...nothing goes better with a sandwich or Po-boy than a sack of Spicy Cajun Crawtaters...mmmmm........ crawtaters................i love you.

ps. congratulations patrick (from parts unknown)

Thanks, Muff-man. Actually, I recently discovered that the supermarket I shop at carries frozen diced green peppers! With choices like that, who needs fresh veggies?

Patsy, you're gonna make me puke in a minute. Frozen veggies are an abbhoration and should be outlawed immediately, if not sooner!

Your fun bag will be taking flight tomorrow, expect it to put in an appearance around June next year!

Well, Brian, thanks. The predominant potato chip company where I am, south of Pennsylvania and north of Virginia, is Utz. I don't know that they make a Cajun flavor, but they might. I'll have to check.

Thanks again, Muffy, for your great generosity in sharing the goodies. I hope the Postal Service exceeds your expectations on speed.

On the subject of frozen veggies, you are undoubtedly right, but getting to the grocery store is one of those tasks that's almost as hard for me as getting a haircut.

All this talk of Cajun potato chips has made me drool all over me best bib and tucker... the Moon Creature is accurate with his assessment of frozen vegetables... they are akin to breaking wind and storing it inside cling film bags until Christmas day. Frozen wind is not desired by Nanna and her sisters when a turkey stoat gobbler is on their minds.

Patty stick with them there chips for your 1,000 celebration feast and 'furget abawt da wind bags'... after all, you'll be 13 soon and may regret not grabbing at lifes little cat fish when you had the chance. Saying that, I've heard the common or garden carrot is capable of fending of the big casino... which is nothing to be sniffed at.

But Jeff, I don't think the numbers go back that far do they?

So, Huntsy, you're telling me I should give those Cajun flavored Pringles a try?

By the way, Muffy, I've been meaning to go back to your "miles ahead of the rest of us" comment considering where you are; compared to where you are, I'm more like millimeters ahead.

Originally posted by Patrick By the way, Muffy, I've been meaning to go back to your "miles ahead of the rest of us" comment considering where you are; more like millimeters ahead.

A millimetre is as good as a mile when theres time constraints and snakes breathing down your back. Maybe i'll make it to the top table by Christmas if I put in a concerted effort, but there better not be frozen veggies on the menu when I get there!

No frozen veggies, Muffy; just Cajun flavored Pringles.

And a couple of dancing girls too I hope!

'This page cannot be displayed' really gets on my nuts!! Big time!!

I think the dancing girls can probably be arranged, Muffy, but I'm afraid it's impossible to do anything about "This page cannot be displayed."

I tell you what's the real cat burglar... when you've spent 59 minutes on the worlds greatest post, you know, the type that could almost change certain events in history... then for some reason the whole message vanishes when you press submit the reply please chicken.

One day that happened I chucked a hammer onto the road.. luckily for me that hammer missed a passing shrew by only 11 inches. I couldn't have lived with myself if the shrew had been destroyed by falling hammer action.

I try to save myself from that dreaded fate, Huntsy, by only typing short posts. But I recognize that the nature of your inspiration is such that sometimes longer patches are required. The only answer, I think, is not to keep hammers handy.

How many times before have I felt the planets about to re-align or rather even snake might find this amusing.........and then by the third re-write put 'drats!! Muffy got there first again'

Originally posted by How many times before have I been out on the pull chatting to some nubile young chick, thinking 'i'm well in here, I might get a right hander here tonight', only to find....... 'drats!! Muffy got there first again'

Sorry Shimmer Man, could'nt help myself!

I find lots of things amusing on this site old boy, even some of the things you write...

And yeah thats happened to me on loads of occassions, quickly followed by having reedit my message to stop myself looking stupid.

"Hang the DJ", Mozz used to sing. For most of them he was right, IMO (especially the ones who slaughter classic NO tunes)

Now Pat, you have my congrats for this achievement! You must be one of the earliest posters here..

Thanks, Shug, I'm glad you're not holding last Friday against me.

Thanks to you, too, Pitch. I wish you'd join in more here, instead of saving yourself for the French forum.

what happened last friday Patty - did I miss a ruck or something?

Originally posted by Patrick Thanks to you, too, Pitch. I wish you'd join in more here, instead of saving yourself for the French forum.

You know I'm doing my best, Patsy boy! I'd love to have more time to keep up the numerous threads here, but as many people in this forum, this is getting difficult to me :)

Seb, after I reached 999, there seemed to be a desire to see me put up one more post, expressed most strongly by Shug (see thread titled "BASTARDS") but I held out.

Yes, Pitch, I know it's hard. But keep trying!

oh yeah, that was a bit naughty of him.

it seems I'm the only one that ever has any major disagreements on this thing, ie. Wank, and that bomb London thing a while ago. I often try to wind up Huntsy and Muffy but they see through me Im afraid

On the subject of disagreements, Seb, I think Muffy deserves some kind of prize for pretending to like Slow Jam. That was all quite memorable.

That's O.K., I already felt a right tit.

Oh no you're not, I strongly disagree with everything you have just said....YOU WANKER

And proud of it. :finger:

Originally posted by Patrick On the subject of disagreements, Seb, I think Muffy deserves some kind of prize for pretending to like Slow Jam. That was all quite memorable.

Definitely. I think he just about had us all fooled.

That's Ok, Nic. I didn't even thought you would put them online as I said it was totally up to you and Seb. But I'm glad you want to that anyway...
