OK I hit 500. I am not asking anyone to go scream or nuts or anything but maybe you could help me celebrate by responding to one of my dying threads. That would be nice. Pick one of these poor excuse for a Thread and respond to it. Maybe add some good input, make it funny, make it meaningful… If nothing else, it will pad your post counts 🙂 [http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=34109](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=34109) [http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=34167](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=34167) [http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=33773](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=33773) Also, you are welcome to use this as a good excuse to get drunk, IRL or otherwise. And you may let me know what you think of me, be it flame, praise, critisism, disgust, or “Bear who?”… Thanks… ---

In the spirit of the OP, I’ll just ask, for my 500, that we revive (or at least bump) this early [thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=39141) of mine that died a sad, pathetic death (probably because I never asked a mod to fix the title–damn newbie! :rolleyes: ) Thanks. 🙂 ---

I was perplexed. Now. I’m just wondering why someone would want to revive an old thread, to hijack it for something completely different. Bizarre. ---

When I first opened this thread I thought something was definately wrong. First I looked and thought wait it sayd that Bear Nenno has 1417 posts, why is he celebrating his 500th post? I then checked the date it said 8/11, so then I wondering how he posted in the future. Then I saw the 2000 and figured it out. So the moral of this story is: don’t pay attention to mongrel\_8. Congrats to whoever wants or needs it!
