Oh he will show up right as someone else is about to reach 10,000, just to steal the spotlight.
I should point out the silver lining with respect to handy’s not posting: Handy is not posting. 
Now, that’s not nice. handy is an integral part of the fabric of this Board, and of this community. I may still be a relative newcomer here, but I still do appreciate the history contained in handy’s posts.
“Relative newcomer” at 3,400+ posts?
Think again.
Esprix
10,000…right…about
NOW!
All I have to say is… Handy… Bwwaahahaa!! Good show man, way to keep the tension up, I love it.
Relative to 9999 posts, perhaps, is my point. Handy had 5000+ posts IIRC when I was still lurking and too afraid to post here.
OK. F*** ** Handy**!
Wait a bit and I’ll break the 10,000 mark!
Wait… it’ll be a while, but wait…
The tension fails to mount.
Gee… ya think???
:rolleyes:
unless i just have extreme good fortune, i’d say we don’t know when he got his 10,000th post… that is to say, the meter now says 9999, but i somehow highly doubt that he just happened to be there when i opened this thread.
on a totally different note… handy: I noticed that you mentioned Pacific Grove in your post and in your profile, and I just had to add that I lived there for 11 years (well I lived in pebble beach but most of my friends as well as my school were in pacific grove) and i envy you greatly for living there
Kaje - quick lesson in VB - the post count by your name is the total number of posts you’ve made, not the number of that particular post. Find one of your first posts and you’ll see that’s true.
We will know when handy hits a thousand.
Or ten thousand. 
It’s vaccation times folks,
don’t you think he’s gone because of that?
Or maybe not, he might just want the attention,
and o’boy do he gets it.
Psst…
Maybe if we all promise to stop talking about him, maybe he will decide that we’ve hyped him enough and post his 10K barrier breaker.
This is like our own little “missing intern” story!
The news is splashed everywhere, but it’s really not that big of a deal, all things relative.
Huh huh huh, you said “mount”!
I don’t care anymore.
Well, Anthracite’s original prediction of July 22 is coming up. I’m guessing this is what he’s waiting for.
[sub]Happy pre-birthday Anthracite! :D[/sub]

If someone already said it, forgive me.
He went to London with a new babe, caught the flu while surfing, and someone from home called and told him the board took a permanent crap.
