Obviously, you need to get a life. You registered about 40 days before I did, and here I am at 150-something. Either that, or I should be a lot less selective about the threads I post in. Sort of like what I’m doing here.
**Myrr21** , that is highly unusual. Normally we have the beer, and _then_ we have the whores.

I’m with you, paisan - I was #7 in the post count ratio not too long ago, and in the top 25 of high post count. 🙂
Congrats on the thousand! Let me know when you get to my age, you whipper snapper! 😃

Flames? Did somebody say flames? Excellent! It has been getting a little cool around here. C’mon, c’mon, piss somebody off!
Congrats on getting old, I mean the thousand.
Oh yah, whoremonger. Definitely whoremonger.

Ooooh, this is so interesting in a clinical sense! I’ve _heard_ of post envy, but seeing the syndrome up close and personal (so to speak) is pretty fascinating.
I’m sure there’s a thesis here somewhere for some starving soc sci major. Which is more “no life”: posting frequently or monitoring the post count of others?
I’m gonna scarf some beer before Alphagene boots this baby over to MPSIMS or somewhere.
Mud in your eye!

Well, since I’m a firm believer in Post-Party equality, and everyone seems to forget about the odd in-between numbers, This thread will be home to my 433rd post party!
Girls, beer, fireworks…what more could you want?
BTW…LOOK AT MEEEEE!!! 433! Woo woo woo!

Is this another joke I don’t get? I already TOLD you happy 3000 posts Satan! I really don’t know why you are such a pathetic wank that you feel you need TWO threads devoted to how many times you posted “Hi!”.
Or is that times I’ve posted high?
I’m telling you, there’s just a framistan in the workings of the God due to society not bowing at intersections. I’m just telling you to trust me! 😉

8.3? This thread’s barely two days old and he’s got one hundred more.
Don’t sweat it, **oldscratch** , it’s just a frenzy and you’ll calm down shortly.

I think I’m going to beat him to it. Wave bye-bye to the Pit.

You know, every time I see a post party I wonder if I should set myself up with a sock puppet.
I would use that sock puppet exclusively for posting in post parties. I bet the puppet would get to 1000 before I would.
Happy thousandth.

The sad thing, obfusciatrist, is you are horribly right.
And I must say I’m extremely sad about this thread getting booted. It’s the first time I’ve had one booted on me. ☹
See, first I get two threads started about me in the pit, Bill H. put’s me in a box with no airholes, Alphagene calls me a sockpuppet, and now this. ☹
I’m a saaaaaaaaad panda.
