If so, I just hit **400** big round ones! It only took me a year, 7 months, and a day. Whew! ---

Yes, we still do post parties. However, we got tired of round number milestones. Now we throw a party anytime a person makes two consecutive posts with prime number counts. It makes it a little more challenging. But congrats on 400! ---

Just when it was looking like I could learn them all. Saaay??? Isnā€™t that consecutive primes thing only possible up to the 3rd post? How about this instead: **when your post count somehow relates to your signup date.** So, **Happy _One Year, 7 Months, and One Day!_** (Your next post party is penciled-in for 4 months and 17 days from now. :eek: šŸ™‚ ---

Shamelessly posting in post count parties to make your post count higher makes the baby jesus cry. ---

I hope we still have post count parties because Iā€™m coming up on 1500. I hope to reach that by 12/03 because thatā€™s my 2 year anniversary here. I have 57 posts to go! Whoo hoo. ---

Congrats. Is that your **Sesqui-Millenial** post? Quite a milestone. **Rachelle** - How can you make it land on your anniversary? Remember that poem by Ogden Nash about breakfastā€¦No matter how hard you try, you canā€™t make the syrup come out even with the pancakes! **Anna Lamerino** - Good on ya for 400! And thereā€™d damn well better be more parties! Iā€™ve got a yearā€™s supply of kegs already aging in the warehouse šŸ˜‰ ---

Congratulations **SterlingNorth**! Iā€™ve got about 50 to go. **Oncle BiĆØre** , Iā€™m going to try like hell to make my 1500th post on Monday. Itā€™s really going to be quite a challenge because I only post from work so I wonā€™t be able to do anything Saturday or Sunday. Wish me luck! ---
