I’m sure none of you know **Rasa**. She is very reticent, not very gregarious and incredibly shy. Heck, _I_ don’t even like her that much. But still, she DID reach 1,000 posts. What say we give her some mad props? Plus, we haven’t had a crazy orgy since my welcome thread. Anybody got any of those tiki torches left over? I’m feeling a little animalistic. Cheers, baby! Wonder where we’ll be in a couple of more months! ---

We’ll make sure she posts from the Superbowl party. Happy 1K **Rasa**! ---

Woo! Crazy orgy in my honor! Of course, what’s an orgy without my favorite boys around? Though I’m sure **Nym** will more than make up for it. 😉 I suppose I should have prepared some sort of speech or something, but this kind of snuck up on me. I guess being a driveby pointless poster makes them add up on you, eh? I’ve got to say, I owe my post count all to Nym. She’s hard to keep up with, being the popularity queen here and all… 😉 And as far as where the next 2 months will take us, I can safely say they will take me to San Francisco. Keep your fingers crossed that everything works out! And that **Nym** isn’t too far behind me in moving, with **Morphy** in tow. [sub]And another boy who shall remain nameless to protect the innocent, but he knows who he is.[/sub] So here I am with my tiki torches and my Tanqueray 10… **oldscratch** should roll in around 3 am PST, he should bring some fun and excitement to this party. Or, at least he’ll make for some interesting stories. Who’s got the chocolate ganache sauce? Let’s go make some nekkid mutant invalid snow angels and sammiches! Woo! _sniffle sniffle_ Really though. I love you guys! ---

Sweet Jesus, Mary n Joseph, **Rasa**! I’ve been here 18 months to your three and you’ve already hit 1K?! WTF?! Congrats. Hm. While I’m always up for an orgy, I do believe I’m too astonished and bewildered to manage taking down me own trousers. [sub]I did, however, have my wits about me enough to bring the **margarine**.[/sub] Arr! ---

Hmm… **Tymp** … let’s see… the name sounds familiar. I used to get email from some guy named Tymp. Naah. Can’t be the same guy, he must have fallen off the face of the earth because he hasn’t written in so long! Ya bastid! I can’t get mad at a pale scrawny guy. It’s just not in my nature. Ok all is forgiven, since this is my party and all. Can we trade the margerine for ghee though? And don’t let my large post count scare you. I may speak loudly, but I don’t carry a big stick. Well, not unless you ask nice. Welcome home **Nen** , by the way. And Mrs. Nen too! ---

What could it possibly be?:: Oh my god! \*\* Rasa’s \*\* 1000th post orgy is tonight! ::runs all the way home:: (Huffing and puffing) Am I too late? Am I too late? Everyone still here!? Oh well.

**Morphy**! Better late than never, and you left a “real” party for me so you’re definitely forgiven. Mad style points to ya. And see you soon! President **dpr** , thank you for gracing me with your well-wishes, sir! I am honored. Especially since it’s tomorrow where you are and that whole future travel stuff is cool. And **Bottle of Smoke** , you were one of the first to greet me on this fine message board, those 1000 posts ago. Did you know the monster you would create? A toast, to Kirsty MacColl, and Pogues fans everywhere! ---

I will second the toast to Kirsty and the Pogues. For such a young person you have impeccable musical tastes Rasa. I can’t say that I remember every post, but I do remember a high proportion of them. Now where is the bar… Keith P.S. I always figured Shane MacGowan would be the first one to shuffle off this mortal coil. ---
