OK - this is my 500 Post Party, so I get to make the rules!
As long as I am doing nothing more important than trying to erect a monument to my own sense of self-importance, I am going to be over-the-top asinine and arrogant about it.
So, here are the rules:
[list=1]
[li]No talking about sdimbert’s 500 Post Party.[/li][li]No nudity without permission (I’m a religious guy, y’know?).[/li][li]BYOB (I’m cheap, too!)[/li][li]Nobody gets in without a ticket - This is where my ego gets involved. I want to know if anybody’s been paying attention to me since I registered. So, if you want in to the Party, you need to get a ticket. They’re free, but to get one you need to provide a “sdimbert Memory;” You know, like the dumb game women play at Showers and Engagement Parties.[/li][/list=1]
That’s it… As soon as some people show up, I’ll go for the big Five-Oh-Oh.
Okay Seth…can I call you Seth? It wasn’t in the rules…
I’m fully dressed.
And I brought my own coffee.
Your first thread was on 1.10.2000, and titled ‘A Reflective Question.’
It was about mirrors. You were directed to a column of Cecil’s to address your question.
You are a magician and find Geller’s abilities to be no more than “tricks.”
Is that what you wanted? See? I pay attention.
Now, the big question…will you show me some card tricks? I’m dying to learn some.
Congratulations on that-which-will-not-be mentioned.

There is someone out there!
:: Does a little jig ::
Since you answered, you can call me just about anything you want!
I am impressed, stuuter - you have done your legwork. I had forgotten about that mirror question… thanks for bringing it back up!
As far as your card-trick question goes… I can show you some, but I only know three.
Yep - I said “three.” A great magician (I forget who… I think it was Robert Houdin) was once approached backstage after a show by a younger magician-fan. The young man said, “I can do over 350 card tricks! How many can you do?”
Houdin replied, “I can do seven. But I do them very well.”
That sums up my approach to the art of magic.

Wait… you asked if I could show you how to do them? Sorry - no can do. Just read a book, buddy. It’s all in the books.
I HAVE BEEN SMOKE-FREE FOR:
Three months, two weeks, four days, 14 hours, 10 minutes and 40 seconds.
4383 cigarettes not smoked, saving $547.95.
Life saved: 2 weeks, 1 day, 5 hours, 15 minutes.
As if it ain’t bad enough you’re spreading your joy here about your post party, you are breaking rule #1 by actually sending me an AIM message about it!!! Sheesh…
Okay, okay… [grumble grumble] HAPPY 500th POST, SDIMBERT!!!
You get extra brownie points for having a picture taken in a similar pose as my Obfusciatrist. heh
Oh wait, and you get a second point for having designed the :wally smiley.
You’re mistaking my pathetic self-pity for something directed at you… nothing could be farther from the truth. I appreciate your effort and your good wishes.
You want to know the truth?
Satan and BagLady only showed up 'cause I invited 'em. I was afraid that no one else was going to come.
Truth be told, I guess I just don’t have enought Mundane and Pointless stuff to Share; people here don’t know me as well. I usually hang out in GD… I wonder how well a Post Party would go over there?
Carry on…
