Just wanted to say “congrats” as I noticed your 3000th post, in a Pit thread…
O
Vidi Vici Veni!
[Jerry Seinfeld]3000? Whoa. That’s a lot.[/Jerry Seinfeld]
Happy 3000, Cranky!
MST…3K?
Coin-ki-dinkee? I think not.
But it should be CAAOM-3K!
To the poster of the best three thousand I’ve ever had the pleasure to guffaw, lament and agree with.
Cheers, Cranky! 
Congrats to she who is cranky at times but definately not an old man!
Oh epicenter of all that is good and decent in Ann Arbor! We thank Thee for Thy wonderous posts, that Thou hast been so gracious to grant Thy humble servants these thirty hundred posts of Thy wisdom. We pray Thee that Thou wouldst continue to shower Thy mercy upon us and fill us perpetually with messages of wit from Thy bounteous fingers upon Thy Keyboard of Joy.
Amen.
Woo! Happy 3k, Cranky. I shall always remember you for thinking of me as an Arrakeen princess. 
Holy moley, it’s my first post count party.
And I didn’t even have to pay anyone to throw it.
Why, thanks Oicu. And others.
I can’t figure out if 3000 gets me to “Wise old veteran of the boards” status or “Fer chrissakes, get offline and get a LIFE” territory. Sneaking suspicion it’s the latter, but fellow Dopers will probably be in denial about that and swear it’s the former.
Glad to be of service!
O
Fighting What Since When?
I was going to do this whole big “look at all the great stuff our dear Cranky has done” but, well, I’m back at work after having been gone for a week and I haven’t the time.
Suffice to say, she’s just terrif. Love your stuff [sub]even if you are from that state up north[/sub].
For the record, she is the one that came up with the idea for the wildly successful White Elephant Exchange, now in it’s second round and going to syndication soon. (Look for a Secret Elephant Santa Sled in the next coupla’ months.)
All that and, in person, she’s a heck of a gal and a good Bocce Ball player.
Woo hoo Cranky! Thanks for the compliment in the compliment thread, and may your future be filled with just as many insightful posts.
You know think, you had me going there. I really believed it, that you thought I was terrific, all that rot, I really slurped it up like you might have meant it.
Until the bocce ball comment. I think it can be agreed upon by all witnesses that I sucked total ass at that game at Flint Dope. I have no skills, despite providing the set for our amusement. I couldn’t hit the broad side of a barn with a bocce ball at ten paces. The jig is up, now it’s obvious, you’re just blowing sunshine up my yoni.
(not that I don’t enjoy flattery…not that I won’t gladly eat it up…it’s just that it helps when it’s got some credibility to it. But hey, beggars, choosers, all that.)
Well, I think of you as the former, but the latter is more appropriate for me.
Congrats, Cranky! I always enjoy your posts.
I’ve met Cranky.
I’ve stamped with Cranky,
and you, sir, are no Cranky
Anyhow, as I said , I’ve met Cranky and I can attest to the fact she doesn’t look a day over 1500!
Go Cranky!
