50 weeks and 2000 posts. OK, for the most part I’ve not had a huge impact on these boards. I guess there’s maybe a couple dozen Dopers at most that recognize my name, less than half of whom actually remember anything I ever posted. So, I thought I’d take the opportunity to look back over the last year or so and showcase some of the stuff I did that I thought was pretty cool. At the bottom I put up links to 20 threads I contributed to but should really be read in their entirety due to the brilliance of the Doper community.
My first post, from April 20, 2004, concerned the origin of my username:
Over the year, I’ve revealed some personal stuff like:
I’m not good with snappy comebacks, but I am proud of this one:
One thing I like to do is compose skits. I’m not about to contact Kelsey Grammer or anything, but some of these, if I do say so myself, are quite clever:
Most of my jokes fall flat, but a few of them still meake me chuckle:
From the thread titled “I’m All Alone and Nobody Loves Me”
I do enjoy writing song parodies. Here’s my favorite:
From the thread about a guy in a town called Aiken who robbed a bank with a pitchfork (to the tune of the “Green Acres” theme song):
And my favorite Haiku, a triptych Monkey Haiku composed in honor of the Re-election of President Bush:
Well, it may appear as if I am tooting my own horn, and I am, but I do have some cites handy that some other Dopers have occasionally taken notice of my work and taken the time to show their appreciation:
Well, my 2,001st post is almost done. Let me leave you with my 20 favorite threads in which feel I did some of my best work; in these threads, however, many many other Dopers shine brilliantly, which makes each entire thread entertaining reading:

Snogs right back to you, sweetheart. I will not be posting with anywhere close to the regularity I showed last year, but I am renewing (hell, I already got $50 worth, easy. I figure I’m still ahead), and I will be popping in occasionally to inflict my personality on the Teeming Millions. Fear me.
