It’s a costume party. Come as your favorite literary character. Booze to the left, food to the right, stereo straight ahead. Ping pong and pool tables in the next room. I’m coming as my favorite literary Diva, Scarlett O’Hara. Par-tahy. * * * “I go on guilt trips a couple of time a year. Mom books them for me.” A custom made Wally .sig! ```auto My iguana's sick.

I could not, in good conscience, leave these here. There is unlimited potential for injury, and besides, is not seeing your friend have a fresh bottle of wine more important than a silly game of ping-pong? Yes, I knew you’d agree. Good day. ::Stumbles out the door:: ---

Hi, I’m Jimmy Chitwood from the movie Hoosiers. I don’t say much, but I do wear the old-time basketball shorts. No peeking. Swimming, I think it is safe to say that you are officially a board junkie. 1000 posts in 3 months is a dauniting undertaking. * * * I am currently stuck in sig line writer’s block. ---

You have 1000 posts already? Wow, I must really be slacking since I have been here close to a year and am still under the 1000 mark (not for long though). Congrats. Keep up your posts.

Well, since I’ve pretty much decided to devote today to padding my post count (this is the third one of these I’ve stopped by), congatulations. It couldn’t have happened to a nicer person. ---

Congratulations sweetie, it couldn’t have happened to a better person. Thanks for adding so much to the board. Sorry I didn’t dress up, but I’m on my way over to SingleDad’s party (I don’t think I’m going to be able to drive after I party there 😉 ) besides, a short, pudgy female would look a little dorky dressed up as Sherlock Holmes. * * * I do not merely dance.
