For instance, :: nabbing a caramel :: you no longer have a number to strive for, until maybe 2,000 or 5,000, :: “Pass that milk, please?” :: :: Takes a huge drink of Nestle’s Quik :: so you’re not as motivated to post so much, which is :: takes another chocolate :: nice; :: chews chocolate, takes another gulp :: however, you have a certain prestige, thanks to the SDMB’s :: "Do you want that raspberry creme one? No? Thanks! :: policy of displaying post counts with every post, so people :: Burps :: look up to you a lot. Hey, are those chocolates? ---
