Well, everyone, sailor was not only attentive enough to notice my one thousandth post when it happened, but he even thought it fitting to follow up with his own four-digit post. I’m touched and flattered, and we physics types have to stick up for each other, so there’s no way that I’m going to let him miss having a full-blown party! Come one, come all, especially dancing girls, and be sure to congratulate the good man! And even though I don’t drink, this is sailor’s party, not mine, so I’m bringing a couple of kegs for everyone. Way to go, sailor!
Always nice to see the numbers spin around.
If this were a car, you could pull over and admire the odometer.
Have 1000 more soon!
Forget the BYOB stuff–thisis more like it.
Say sailor, not new in town? 
Congrats! Rum I presume?
1,000 – Sails
2,000 – Marine Diesels
3,000 – Nuclear Reactors
'Grats, sail-boy!
I hope the guest of honor eventually gets here. Congratulations, sailor. You may be interested to know that you’re the only person ever to tell me what Achernar is.
