Finally, I’m realy to throw a post party. Not for 100 posts, not for 200, but for 300 posts.

::motions to the table of hors d’oveures::  
Help yourselves!

:: points to the various kegs of beer::  
Knock yourselves out!

::Points to the lawn chairs near the card table::  
Many are called, but few are chosen!

Folks, thanks for a wonderful time. I’ve enjoyed every comment, every snide remark. Don’t ever change, I mean it. 😃

Damn smilies…I like them, but not when it’s not intentional…I forget to check the disable smilies thing.

Oh well, guess I will have another beer 🙂 ← that’s intentional.

**langour** , have all the free beer and sausages you want!

**Ultress** , please accept this wine spritzer, along with my compliments and a wink or two.

**Fonz** , Aaaaaaaaaaayyyyy.

**WallyM7** , I have a bottle of Porfidio Silver waiting here for you specifically.

**casdave** , of course you do, he’s like a father to me. That is, if he has any bastard sons running around.

**Catrandom** , of course you may. I am Brian, pleased to meet you 🙂

**purplebear** , I didn’t have any set up, but I’ll make them just for you. Will you teach me canasta?

**Shayna** , it is kind of a false moniker, isn’t it? 🙂 I’ll take care to only say nice things.

**techchick68** , how could it be a party without you! Kick your shoes off. Sit a spell. I’ve got the beer on tap, and a line run straight to your chair.

**Diagonal Twin** , you hit the nail on the head. Now have a beer, willya?

Hey Brian, over here!

Is anyone cooking hot dogs on the grill? I got a hankering for one.

Oh and can you tell whoever to grill the bun a bit? I love grilled buns.

::kicks off shoes, beams happily at keg, ducks flying mini-frank in bbq sauce, pulls up lawnchair::

Hiya, Brian, great bash and congrats on 300!

::dodges conga line::

I was gonna ask about the first-name thing ::drunk Ultress collapses onto shoulder:: but Shayna asked it first. I had my best “Airplane” schtick ready ( “Shanya, Shayna!”) when you came clean with the real name. So a gorgeous babe can get anything outta you just for the asking, hmmm?

::pours a mere tot of a beverage::

Well, you seem to have sized up the group accurately. Uh, do you have a pet hamster? And a blender?

Great 300; rock on.

Veb  
(Uh, no, I think I’ll pass on the daiquiris. Are they supposed to have gray fur?)
