You’d better shut up alright. 1400? Slacker. Hardly anything to be proud of.

**Aha**

I don’t think you should count the ones where all you did was suck up for names to add to your sig line, so that leaves you with what, 103?🙂

I always read your posts, aha.

Somtimes, when you don’t post for a while, I stick red hot needles into my eyes.

It’s not the same as one of your posts, but it’s close.

Keep 'em coming, pal. I love the pain.

That’s right make fun of what I do the best. Now go get the six string gibson we are hitting the road again. Our motto will be…

“If you can hummit we can strummit.”

You can hummit, but leave those high notes at home. It puts gerbils into a breeding frenzy.

I think it’s because they want to reproduce before they die.

Hey, aha, I bought a bottle of quality bubbly for ya. Here it is, all chilled and…_omigod, don’t try to open it yourself!.._

::cork explodes across room, smashing a lamp, an entertainemnt center, a framed gold record and wings the dog::

Can’t wait to see what you’ll do with the bean dip.

Congrats, buddy. You are a seriously funny, bent, twisted sucker who seduced Dopers into believing and lured Cecil Adams himself out of seclusion.

Of course ::coughs modestly:: he greeted others, including me, and called you “Hoo-haa”. We appreciate it, and all the fun.

Now mop the Champagne foam outta your hair and help that poor dog.

That’s “Cristi,” and “Persephone,” dear. “Cristi” is the good, sweet, kind, loving, innocent personality. Except for _Guy Stuff._ That was actually me, after I stuffed Cristi into a closet for a while. But don’t tell _her_ that. She hasn’t got a clue. 😉

Well Aha, if the champers isn’t to your liking, how 'bout a little mead?

And btw, congrats, old son!

Hi aha. Welcome to the board. It’s a pleasure to have you here with us.

Do I get a spot in your sig line now, too? 😉

BTW, you crack me up. Keep up the good work.

Sounds obscene.

I think this should make your sig line:

Only poster ever to :Duck a cork:

Hell of a lot more distinctive than being welcomed by mods, admins, and the mythical(?) Cecil Adams.

Congratulations! And sorry I flirted with Grace in your pit thread to Lynn Bodoni:

[http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=25005](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=25005)

Actually, I’m not sorry. What the hell, you got your welcome from her in the end!
