Woohoo! Woohoo! Go Firefly! No really, I **am** excited! Woohoo! * * * Changing my sig, because Wally said to, and I really like Wally, and I’ll do anything he says, anytime he says to. ---

Thanks, guys. 🙂 It feels really significant to be, what, about the 38th person to go over 1000 posts here. (Hence the yawns; these things _had_ been getting fairly common lately, so I thought it might be time to underplay my arrival at the 4-digit mark. But I still wanted to at least mention it. So thanks again…I couldn’t have done it without your great posts to respond to! 😉 ---

P1K, huh? Well, don’t stop now, Rufus. I always read your posts. Don’t say, “Who cares?” I’m going to crack a bottle of my best wine in your honour. Bob&Dave’s Fine Plonk. Vintage 2000. Hey, it’s $6.40 a case. Keep 'em coming, Rufus. 🙂 ---

…and to help me achieve that goal, I’m announcing right here, in RTFirefly’s gathering, that I shall hit 1,000 post no later than **August 9[sup]th[/sup]**. However, I need help to think of a punishment if I don’t achieve that milestone. . . ---

Wally - no way I’ll stop; I’m having too good a time here. And I love your sig lines, btw - especially your recent one about ‘once we pull the pin, Mr. Grenade is now our friend.’ That and neuro-trash grrl’s current sig (the one about rednecks and braille) got me to start keeping a file of favorite sig lines. And I’ll have to send you a congratulatory bottle of Ripple when you enounter the Post2K mark! Surgo, Sterling - keep on pushing, guys; I know you’ll get here soon enough. And your posts are always worth reading, which is far more important than numbers. 🙂
