Eve, spend your 5,000 post here! Congrats!
O
Congratulations, my dear!
Jiminy Crickets—I don’t even LOOK at the left-hand side of my screen; I had no idea . . . If you added my pre-Eve “Flora McFlimsey” posts back from the 20th century, I’d be up in the quadruple digits . . . Thanks for the party! Sody-pop is right here, and behind that beaded curtain you’ll find Smokey Joe and Minnie, kickin’ the gong around.
Anyone else notice that post numbers often vary wildly from what they “should” be? I’ll be curious to see if this actually reads as no. 5,000.

Congrats 
Well, mine should read 99,999 or thereabouts… 
Happy 5000! throws confetti

stares forlornly at own meager post count
Aaaaaaalmost there, aaaaaaaaaaaalmost there…
I don’t usually attend post parties but c’mon, Eve, 5000 this one’s gonna be big!
Oicu812 stop double-dipping the chips!
Congratulation Eve ! May the next 5k be as entertaining as the first ones.
Wow wow wow! Congrats! French onion dip. Yum. 
What an interesting party! I expected this to be like other dopefests I’ve attended - a drunken brawl - but this is so… classy!
All the ladies are in black sequined evening gowns and the men are in tuxes! I can’t recall the last time I saw gentle men in spats. I love the hairdoos on the women (dames?) all the tight pressed curls and the little swirls pasted to the forehead or below the temples.
I have to admit, sheepishly, that I only recognize Eve from the pic on the people pages and I don’t see her here. Perhaps she is the flapper-ish looking lady on the setee. See her? No, not her, the one with the 10" cigarettte holder, looking away from the crowd. Seemingly staring disdainfully at some spot on the wall seven feet off the floor.
And why is everything in black and white?
Congrats Eve!
Congratulations, Eve. Were you coming to the NY dopefest, I’d buy you the cocktail of your choice.
'Grats, dearie! Keep’em coming.

—Eve is the lady who is ten years older and fifteen pounds heavier than that People pages photo . . .

Congratulations, dear. Truly one of the greats on the boards, and such a class act. And I love the stories and James Lileks links. You never fail to amuse me.
By the way, what are you getting as a desk calendar this time? I found the “Famous Murderesses” one a hoot (so to speak).
Screech—I tried to find another Robert Mapplethorpe calendar this year (no, no—his FLOWER photos!). But ended up with an “Antiques Roadshow” one for home, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art “Shoes” one for work.
Hmmm, someone should start a “2002 calendar” thread. Though frankly, buying a 2002 calendar is the height of optimism, these days . . .
Eve, I hope you’re happy that I’m wearing my best black dress for you. I feel like I’m in drag.
Happy 5K. Us denziens of scruff dare not even think of aspiring to your level…
Congratulations Eve!
If I drink too much champagne and drown myself in your toilet, will you promise to glare at my lifeless body over your lorgnette?
NOBODY…EVER…DROWNED…IN…THEIR…TOILET!
Champagne or NO Champagne…barbituates or NO barbituates…big Mexican dinner or NO big Mexican dinner.
Got it?
Congrats, **Eve!
Huzzah Eve! They say it’s not the size, but the skill. You’ve got both – some may have more posts, but nobody’s as consistently high-quality as thou.
How about a 2002 Eve calendar?
Congrat’s Eve!
Wish I was more like you.
Congratulations and thank you, Eve. You raise the tone of the joint.
And you don’t look any more than 2,000 or so!
