I think you have to wait until post 100. At that point weā€™re supposed to get some handsome, mostly naked men fanning us with pom frons and bringing us fruity drinks and tasty apppetizers. Theyā€™re to rub sun tan lotion on us too. OH, and maybe air tickets to a place that has stuff like that, hammock and all. I really want that. Iā€™m so close to 100. I tip well. I will cry if I find out that service is for post 1,000. ---

The cabana boys with the palm fronds donā€™t appear until after 5,000 posts. Gotta tell you, though, that despite some really impressive abs, theyā€™re not all that bright ā€“ theyā€™re still futzing around trying to get the hammock hooked up. Oh ā€“ welcome newbies. Remember, the goat is actually quite friendly ā€“ just donā€™t make any sudden moves around it, 'kay? ---

Hey, I didnā€™t get anything when I joined why should we give you stuff? Isnā€™t this wonderful board where everybody knows your name (until you change it) good enough? Back in my day, all we got for joining a paid message board was a little ā€œCharter Memberā€ thingy under our names and we had to walk 10 miles in the snow to get it! Both ways! And we liked it that way! (We need a grumpy old man smiley) ---

And we liked it that way! You were lucky. When I joined we had to hop 26 miles wearing a balet shoe. Then we had to go work at mill for 4 years and all money we earned went staight to tā€™board. And ice cream? Ha! We were lucky to get a handful of cold gravel. You try telling that tā€™young people today and they donā€™t believe you. ---

The doorbell rings. **Iceland\_Blue** goes and answers the door of the fiat, which opens straight into the dining room. Standing at the door is a large grubby man carrying a tin bath on his shoulder. There are flies buzzing around him. He walks straight in. **Ed Zotti** : Dung, sir. **Iceland\_Blue** : What? **EZ** : Weā€™ve got your dung. **I\_B** : What dung? **EZ** : Your dung. Three hundredweight of heavy droppings. Where do you want it? ('he looks round for a likely place) **I\_B** : I didnā€™t order any dung. **EZ** : Yes you did, sir. You ordered it when you became a Charter Member of the SDMB. (Iā€™m surprised this hasnā€™t turned up before now. The Dopers must be off their collective feed.) ---
