I just realized that I have over 500 posts here!
Not sure if that means I need a life or if the winter has been a nasty one…
Anyway, congrats to me!
( I feel the need to reward accomplishments, no matter how small–carry on with your regular program… 
).
Not a slam on you or anything, but unfortunately this will be close in T-5 posts or so, per the rule against Post-count parties. But congrats! And may your addict… controllable posting ability never be hampered by that damn thing others call life.
You’re certainly a somebody. A very enjoyable somebody, with some really good posts in your 500.
Oops! My apologies–sorry, mod person (I’m still new here!) <bites nails worriedly>
And thank you, Muffin for those kind words! You made my day–and you fed my addiction, unfortunately…
<whispers to self: I will go clean the basement; I will go run those errands…>
Quickly, before the mods lock it down: congratulations!
You guys are great!
You were somebody before. 
I wish you’d post more frequently.
Congrats! I hope the mods don’t bring out the goat.
Oooo…now it’s a race to see which thread gets closed first – this one, or Lobsang’s 10,000th post party.
My money is on this one lasting a bit longer…the title doesn’t scream “illegal thread” so much as the other one does.
Oh, and congrats, eleanorigby!
I see people are keeping the mods busy!
Heh…<watches head get bigger and bigger ala Violet in Charlie and the Choc Factory…>
aw, shucks.
EleanorRigby,
opens a thread that she hopes will help her proclaim
Some kind of fame
Look at her posting
Writing so that someone will know that she’s there
What do we care?
All the Doper people
Where do they all come from?
Starting their post parties
How long until their done?
Now, how pissed would you have been if this thread had hit lockdown in the time it took you to finish composing that, Shibb?
I thought about that, but I figured a minute wasn’t likely to put me out in the cold.
I am happy to note that my prediction of 5 posts closed was wrong. Hey, reaching 500 posts is a pretty big accomplishment. It took me over three years to get that.
I finally hit 800 a little while back. But, I must say, I was disappointed I could not get in a post about giraffe in the Lobsang thread. If you don’t know what I’m talking about, I suppose you’ll have to go over there and read it.
