Egad! Did I really reach 1000 posts? Well, if there’s one thing I learned in that time, it’s that SD’ers like a good post party. So, let’s tap them kegs and crank that polka music! Let’s pad our post counts with frivolity, extra smilies, and praises for astronomy (oops - my secret agenda is revealed). 😃 😃 😃 😃 😃 😃 😃 😃 😃 😃 😃 😃 😃 😃 😃 😃 😃 😃 😃 😃 😃 😃 😃 😃 😃 😃 😃 ---

_Did I mention that this is a costume party? Oh great, I can only find the back half of my horse costume. Maybe I should make this a “dress optional” party._ :eek: **vanilla** - thanks! - Maybe I can bribe a moderator to archive some of your threads so your post count drops! 😃 **tiggeril** - atta boy!! Don’t get me started on those Lambdas! Hey, feel free to pad your post count here! **MadHatter** - thanks! - My “500th post no party” thread was a flop so I figured I had better kill a virtual keg or two this time. _(everyone please leave their car keys at the door…I’ve been wanting to test drive some new ones)_ **Scotticher** - whoo hoo! 🆒 **Jack Batty** - Thanks! What’s the secret handshake? \*Anyone know the lyrics to some good drinking songs? I’d love to see the 40-or-so verses of “We Are the Engineers”. (any techies out there?) \* ---

Polkas? Well, I’m a bit rusty at them, but I _did_ grow up in Wisconsin, and I’m the offspring of Polka-lovers. ::Produces ancient accordion:: _mumble_ \* Now, how the hell do I play this thing?\* “SCRRRREEEECHH–WHEEEEEEEEEEEZZEEE–GROAN–SQUEEK!” Why is everyone _staring_ at me like that? Okay, I’ll “lose” the accordion. May I play the kazoo in your honor, instead? I take requests… Happy, 1000th, by the way! ---

**Cyndar** - accordion. screeching cat. same thing. **dpr** - if you tell us, will our purity scores go down? **Tabithina** - we’ll need an orchestra of kazoos. \*:distributes kazoos to everyone: and-a-one… and-a-two… \* ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Danielinthewolvesden \* > > Scotti- How YOU doin? 😉 I’m just FINE, **Daniel,** and how are you? Think we can dance to the “Star Wars Overture?” I definitely think we should try, don’t you? (The kazoo band is a nice touch, especially now that they have completed a few rounds of “F-the possum”, heavy on the jungle juice!}
