Suggestions for a special 1000th post..

[Aslan of Narnia]

Any one have any ideas how for how I could do a special OP for 1000 posts?

Other than "Postcount ++ Wo0t!!".

You certainly plan ahead!

That's true. I want to give myself time to gather and orgainize, check grammar and spelling etc. so I get a magnum opus of a OP :D.

I'll be looking forward to that! :)
Or will I? -----> :dubious:

I dunno. You may plan, you may lay out the entirity of your posting career to come with all the finesse, discipline and strategic brilliance of the finest, battle-seasoned general, or one adept at the ways of chess amidst the masters ...










... only to have your 1000th post come upon you with the suddenness of an express train ...










... and the sum total of that monumental post, so anticipated, so prominent in the mind of the tactitical doper ... is ...










"Me, too!"


:D

CONGRATULATIONS ON HITTING 460 Aslan2 !

Maria , you've been registered for four years and you've posted six times. All of them today! There's got to be a story there!

I was about to welcome you to the SDMB Maria, upon seeing your first post. But then I noticed your registration date from four years ago!!

Tell me there is a mistake here somehow. Or at least a very interesting story.

I already posted my story today at Aslan2's thread http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?postid=3235563#post3235563

Even though it occured about 4 years ago,


Welcome to the board Maria!

Any suggestions?

[Qadgop the Mercotan]

Yeah. Ignore post counts. They don't mean much. Not if you're really here to fight ignorance, anyway.

Just MHO. Take it for what its worth to you.

[Aslan of Narnia]

Yeah, I will usally ignore them.
I do, however want to do something special for a thousandth post, hopefully fighting ignorance in it. I can't think of anything though.
Any suggestions would be great.

Since you've got a while to go, how about some sort of pattern in your posts culminating then? Say, an evolving sig, or acrostic posts.

[Aslan of Narnia]

I do know what a acrostic is, but I don't quite understand what you mean.
Could you elaborate?

[Shade]

I meant that the first letter of your next 514 posts would spell out a message. I don't that's a good idea in itself, but it was an example of something you could do that would end at 1000.

[Aslan of Narnia]

I get it.
I think, though, I would do it over 10-15 posts.
Thanks.

I think you should start saving now and throw us all a big party.
