You were saying? 
Oh, hush. I was here before there WAS a MPSIMS. Back when I was young, there were two places you could post. General Questions, and Comments on Cecil’s Columns. The Mailbag didn’t even exist at that point. And to get on the boards, I had a 14.4. modem. So don’t you go around telling me what the board is for and what I can and cannot criticize, whippersnapper.
I was around for the very first post count party. It was for PapaBear. He hit 1,000 posts. Everyone was duly impressed. Sqrl thought he was gay. We moved on. I bet you don’t even know who PapaBear IS.
Oh, and for the record…post count parties sucked back then, too. Now, they suck and they’re OVERDONE.
But hey, thanks for being the second person in this thread who completely missed the point. Choad.
Hey Drain. I resent that. I think that there were a lot more than two people who missed the point. In fact, isn’t that one of the beauties of the internet. Missing the point. If I can’t miss the point, why the fuck am I here anyway. Next thing you know, you’ll be talking about taking away my guns. Godamn gun control, pantywaist. Taking my guns, raping my children, blowing my goats.
:ahem:
…
Where was I?
Ah yes, I reserve the right to miss the point.
DrainBead, I repeat my question: Is there some reason you have a problem with fun? Sure it’s dumb, but if they’re having fun, who cares?
I would just like to take a moment to cordially invite you, Drain Bead, to my 500th post party. In fact, you are all welcome to join in the fun!
::ducks and runs::
I can see your point.
I don’t mind if the topic title clearly states it’s a post party; if it doesn’t I can get right cheesed off.
I would also like to add I’m seeing more and more, “This is my first post” threads. The first few times I thought okay, they’re a little shy but I’m afraid this will turn into a “me too” thing.
I mean, hey, were glad you’re here, welcome aboard but contribute something more than, “here I am now love me”. But that’s JMHO. I’ll just avoid those threads. Well, unless they happen to post in the Pit.
I have it on good authority that Drain Bead - who is on the phone with me right now - says that you are missing the point!
The point being: This thread was all about having fun! Whether you want to mock her, like Milo did, or tease her by making it a post count party, like just about everyone else, it doesn’t matter! As long as its funny or topical, it’s cool.
You are the only one who was not funny or topical. You did not get it. Shut up. Now. Choad.
oldscratch - You got it. Thanks.
PS - Drain Bead was dictating this to me. Blame the wench, not the messenger. (Ooh, she’s gonna get me for that one when the thunderstorm ends!)
Yer pal,

Wow! Was that directed at me?!
I took the post at face value. I’m so sorry if I missed the point.
You know, this stopped being a polite society when we abandoned God.
(So there!)
Byz -
Yeah, well you’re a hippie! So there!
running like hell
Well, gee DrainBead. Sorry I didn’t respond in exactly the way you intended me to. I’ll be sure to watch that in the future.
WAAAAAHHH!!!
Lawn chairs? We don’t need no stinking lawn chairs. OK Lenny! C’mon back! This first load’s just the ice. Stand clear now…
Falcon – no wonder I didn’t get it! (Smacks hand to forehead) I was so high I could barely read let alone comprehend!
Well happy 3000 posts Satan!
Gosh, I’m so slow sometimes I must be going backwards! At least I’m on the ball (an eight-ball) now!
Um, how 'bout happy fucking 4000 posts (!!??!?!) Damn dude, you got us on your stinkin cell phone or something?
I’ve always respected your opinions, and I deliberately DID NOT throw a 1000th post party for myself, out of respect for you and the other regs who I thought hated post parties. 
1000 posts was important to me because:
- It allowed me to pass myself off as a veteran myself, though I’ve only started posting here around 2 months ago.
- There is no #2
- Oops. Hi, Opal!
Well, now that I’ve missed my opportunity for my 1000th post party, I’m going to mirror the attitude that I thought the OP had:
Down with post parties–FUCK 'EM! :mad:
And since this is the pit…
[sub]well, nothing, really[/sub]
Well, I’m really glad this finally got addressed because it’s been royally torquing me off that ::KLONK::…
OUCH! Who’s the drunken twit who just brained me with a flying can of Bud Lite? Fercryinoutloud, can’t a person even camp out in a lawn chair without getting trepanned with cheap beer?
Don’t open that can! It’ll…! ::whoosh, fizz, drip::
Oh great, now I have Post Party Animals licking my arms. And the lawnchair. Will someone hand me a beer??
Veb
Byz: You did get it. The Drain Bead transcribed post was meant for FreakFreely, who did not, in fact, get it.
We all know that you get it all the time.
Um… Er… Right.
Yer pal,

Wow, apparently I’m so clueless that I don’t even get what I’m not getting. What am I not getting?
OK, at the risk of getting hacked into the twilight zone, I’ll just say that this entire post is fun. That’s all. Got it? Got it. OK.
Anyway, the band is here! Who hired a band? It’s a couple guys in sunglasses and cheap suits. One wants a fried chicken and the other wants dry white toast. Where do they find…
DO YOU SEE THE LIGHT? DO YOU SEE THE LIGHT!
THE BAND! THE BAND? THE BAND!
Chicken wire? Not in the living room!
I know, I meant in the sense of the dumb kind of fun. I’m just saying that yes, post count parties are dumb. But they provide fun for dumb people. And if they’re occupied somewhere else, then they aren’t in our threads.
Like so many things in life, getting it is overrated. Fuck getting it. I prefer not to get it.
