Send in the Supermodels for the traditional ceremonial BJs! For I have achieved 3000 posts. I suspect I am no longer a newbie. Besides **Unca Cecil** writing me into his will, what else do I get? Everybody post me a virtual gift, with a link to the image of the gift. _Google is your friend._ > **[Google](https://www.google.com)** > > Celebrating the late We:wa! #GoogleDoodle šŸ™‚ šŸ™‚ šŸ™‚ šŸ™‚ šŸ™‚ šŸ™‚ šŸ™‚ šŸ™‚ šŸ™‚ ---

All right. To **Bosda** : a [lathe](http://www.isu.edu/stunion/craftshop/lathe.jpg). To **Persephone** : [Crystal Pepsi](http://crystalpepsi.captainmike.org/crystal_label5.jpg). No, there is absolutely no reasoning behind these gifts. Theyā€™re just the first things that popped into my head. Happy posting! ---

Congratulations on reaching your 3000th post, **Bosda**! Youā€™ve been amusing the lot of us for a long time. In remembrance of the occasion, I am going to send you a tape of me, walking around the house, saying _Bosda Diā€™Chi of Tricor_ over and over again, in a sing songy sort of way. Iā€™ve been practising for a while, now. Yes, itā€™s true. Your name, for some reason, has invaded my head, like a catchy pop song. I figure this is as good a time as any to tell you. Anyway. Itā€™ll make you laugh your pants off. All your friends will appreciate it, too. And, as an added bonus: Iā€™ll make a second copy for your new neice. Has she shown up yet?? Congrats on all sides, **Bosda.** šŸ™‚ ---

Hey **Bosda** , congrats. But I donā€™t know what to get for your gift. How about a very weird mix tape of an eclectic range of artists / genres? (classic rock, world music, country, hard rock, bubblegum pop, 50s / 60s ā€œgirl groupsā€ like the Shirelles, rap, R&B, childrenā€™s musicā€¦) F\_X ---

**LolaCocaCola** ā€“you bought me a Baboon The baboon is the largest of all the Old World monkeys. They live in groups of between 10 and 100, although usually about 40 stay together throughout their lives. They stick very close together for safety, and no baboon wanders very far from the group at any time. Each group of baboons has a dominant male, who makes all of the decisions and generally looks after the others. Baboons wander the African plains, feeding on plants, buds, and fruit. They often stay close to where gazelleā€™s are grazing, each species of animal alerting the other if danger is near. But it _is_ a very _nice_ baboon. I have a Monkey Butler! šŸ˜ƒ **lel** ā€“is that the whole ā€œlathe of heavenā€ thing? **Mr. Blue Sky** ā€”yes, but only if you ask for them with your #3000 post. Too late for you, ha-ha-ha! šŸ˜ƒ **Kat** ā€“Initiation into the Illuminati. **elephant shoes** ā€“what _kind_ of elephant shoes were you wearing, while walking around & chanting? Keds? And who puts taps on Keds? **Snugglebear** ā€”so, I guess the ā€œackā€ means you gave me a hairball for my 3000th post. _Damn shedding! Every year the same thingā€¦_ **Lobsang** ā€”your posts are just too _wordy_, man. Tighten up your prose style, man. **Flamsterette\_X** ā€”just the link, lady! No need to go wild, I know Iā€™m irresistable, woman, but try to control yourself! A very stylish choice of links, **YappingPoodle**. Creative and promising. And youā€™re more gracious than a certain mythologically-named female poster who shall remain nameless, who shows up at a party, & doesnā€™t bring a lousy link! šŸ˜› **I am Sparticus** ā€“classy, very classy. Keep yer ā€œdog postsā€ to yerself, **pravnik**. Only ā€œdog postā€ I know of is the one on the corner, where all the local straysā€¦uhh skip it. Such a warm response for a weekend! ---
