As of the time I’m composing this message, this here, this what you’re reading right now – **this** is my **ten thousandth post** to the Straight Dope Message Board! Woo hoo! I’d like to thank all the little people out there I stepped on on my way up to the top, whose well-worn backsides have made this achievement possible. You know who you are. And if you don’t, pretent I’m looking at your backside right now. (Saaaaaay … !) Oh, sure, reaching 10,000 posts isn’t the noble achievement it was a year ago. Back then, only **handy** had ever accomplished such a feat. Nowadays, of course, practically everybody who’s anybody has more posts than I do. 10,000 posts no longer merits the batting of an eye. But it still means something to me, so dog gone it, I’m gonna sing about it right here and now! \ _She ain’t got no money Her clothes are kinda funny Her hair is kinda wild and free – Oh, but love grows Where my Rosemary goes And nobody knows like me!_ … Er, well, okay, maybe that’s not the **most** apropos song for the occasion, but it’s the first thing that sprang to mind. (And to think I was **this** close to breaking the 10,000 post barrier 'way back at the end of 2001 … and then the SDMB crashed and several hundred of my posts were lost. :smack: ) Now then … **who wants some of this party cake!** It’s angel food with milk-chocolate frosting, my favorite. ---

Is it that narrow alleyway between two great big Boeing buildings? ---

/me puts his copy of _ABBA Gold_ onto the stereo and cranks up the volume. _You are the dancing queen, Young and sweet, Only seventeen!_ (Seventeen **what** , precisely, I have no idea. Couldn’t be years, that’s for sure. But that’s beside the point. Come on, let’s dance! Woo!) ---

Well not everyone will ever reach 10,000. That seems a long way to go for me. Congrats on your milestone. I’m worried about you. Have you seen sunlight lately? (Just kidding). ---

Since you registered in May 1999, you have 10000 posts, which is 7.49 posts per day - that’s more than me. Perhaps there should be a prize for 10000 posts. Are you listening, Moderators? ---

Congrats, **tracer**! It may not be the big deal it used to be, since there’s at least five of you that currently share that distinction, but still, that’s a lotta posts. 🙂 Gimme a year, and I’ll be there too. But by then, it’ll be a fairly well-populated club. ---

If it hadn’t been for the Great SDMB Server Crash of Dec-2001/Jan-2002, it would have been **me** who reached 10,000 posts first! Do you hear me? **ME!** Wah ha ha ha ha!
