Thanks, y’all, for rememberizing my birthday! So far, I got: some rain, devil’s food cake, cards, money, two dinner invites, some little accessory jobby for my cell phone, and a package I need to open…

Whoa, it’s Yankee Candle tealights, a bunch of Burt’s Bees stuff, and a votive lamp from a very generous pal.

Nautical People Have Their Ship Together.

So sez one of my bumper stickers.

Speaking of which, I still have a few ENT bumper stickers trumpeting the new night and time. Email me if you want one.

I never seem to get these thread notification emails in time!

Congratulations Viva!

This, my 5000th post, is dedicated to all our AWOL Trekkers. If it were not for them, I would probably still be at 2,000, if that. After all, it is them (and you) that got me to post in the first place and my very first post on these boards was in a Trek thread started by **cplant**.

If I knew that 4,999 posts later, I’d still be stuck with him, I might not have made it but overall, this has been a wonderful 22 months.

Oh – well, in that case:

Vorlons have “T Disruptors”?

So it looks like flowers, huh? Okay, I can get that. Actually it’s a ship … or a boat … or a sloop … or something - we were on the topic and I found a nice picture for Viva.

Speaking of pictures, if you think you guys have a lot of time on your hands and spend too much time on the SDMB, then take a look at what [these](http://choco.2ch.net/kao/kako/1015/10156/1015675389.html) people have done. _I believe you need to set your browser to (secondarily) display Japanese_.

Also, was there a Weird Earl’s recently on the SDMB that referenced [this](http://www.syberpunk.com/cgi-bin/index.pl) area? It eventually points to the artwork above. _My memory is failing me_. If so, then good. If not, then I could start a thread and point other Dopers to this incredible artwork.

Ah, yes, that picture was indeed a ship! D’oh!

I’ll look at them links when I git me a chance.

Varon, Vorlon… they all look the same to me.

Yeah… that’s right, I’m a speciest. Being Southern, did you expect anything else?

When I first glanced at your reply, I thought you said you were a **spacist**.

You got something against space???

I should also point out that the sentence **Being Southern, did you expect anything else?** is a good example of a dangling modifier.

Thank you for providing today’s shining example.

Yeah, I hate people up in mine unless they are of the attractive variety.

Two days after my 5,000th post and this is 5,050th. I am such a post whore.

If you’re a post whore, does that mean they’re “up in yours”? (They must be attractive posts in that case.) (Okay, okay, I’ll stop now.)

I can’t be sure because the search function won’t allow “666”, but I believe that is the second time you’ve mentioned that within this thread.  
Thats right, it has finally gotten so big, that theres an echo in here.
