I just looked at my post count and it’s 1015. I missed my 1000th post! ☹ Well, I hope it was a good one. Anybody know if you can tell which post is which #'d post?

I think it was the one you posted drunk at two AM, with all the typos and misspellings and half-baked conclusions. But hey, Happy 1000th! * * * Uke ---

Esprix, You rule - you are in my Top 5 Favourite Gay Posters list (which does not include closet cases, mind you!). And if you think YOU’VE messed up your 1000th post, check the “irony and sarcasm” thread in the Pit and see how I wasted my 2000th post… it’s rather tragic, really.

Well, Esprix, I have to admit: 1000 posts or not, I still think of you as a new guy. Granted, you’re one of the better new guys I’ve seen on the board. A hearty congrats! * * * _God is my co-pilot. Blame Him._ ---

Granted, you’re one of the better new guys I’ve seen on the board. Oh, but I am - I’ve only been registered since February. My post count is so high because the job I’ve been temping in for the past 6 months is boring as all get out, so I’ve nothing better to do at work (but still need to give the semblance of “working” to my nosy co-workers, so I fiddle on the computer as an illusion).

Hey, Esprix, congrats and let me buy you a festive glass o’ bubbly. Sit yerself down, try to look modest and watch while Da Dopers celebrate your 1K. (Don’t worry; this is pretty sedate, all things considered. The TM haven’t even gotten to cannibalism and cross-species depredations yet.) Oh…was that your Manx cat? Ooops.
