Mods, I hope you will appreciate this as simply a good natured one time only attempt at humor, and not punish me for “spamming”. It truly is an honor to be YOUR Mr. 500,000! 
Now, I’ll take a:
coffee mug
Straight Dope tee-shirt
Free subscrition to the Chicago reader
abd $1000
Please mail me my prizes immediately, please!
They won’t arrive until sometime after #1,000,000 is posted. :rolleyes:
Actually, your reward is…
:opens envelope:
You personally have to research and answer the next 10,000 posted questions!
Congratulations! And good luck!
Just out of interest; where are you reading the number 500,000?; I can’t see it anywhere.
[sub]If I ruled the world, I’d delete the post (not the thread, just the post) just to spite you[/sub]
It’s one this page:
Has anyone ever actually worn a SD t-shirt?
I would like one ,myself.
I don’t think we’ll be awarding any prizes for that. Unless you would call a dunce hat a prize. We were not amused by your efforts to record that half-million milestone. As you can probably tell since we disappeared 'em. And “apologizing in advance” for doing what you obviously know to be wrong in no way lessens the offense.
