What else is there to say? Everybody’s favorite sword-wielding, Classically educated, Greek and Latin and other dead language-speaking Doper is about to hit 2k.
Yes, he will probably kill me for starting this thread. Yes, he will scoff at all the brouhaha and attention. But he’s a just a cranky bitch and will secretly love the attention.
Maeglin, I don’t make “real” friends that easily. Not many people can keep up with all the change and strife (gonads and strife?) my life routinely takes. Not only have you managed to hold on, you’ve made me a stronger person for it. You kept me sane when I needed it most. You’re a true friend, one that I respect and love dearly, and I’m thankful I’ve met you.
Here’s to you, my friend. Happy 2k, and many more.
You know, I had a great post here, ripping on Seneca and berating you for your appreciation of his works, but this is is supposed to be a happy occasion!
You say you don’t care, but we all know you’re weeping uncontrollably over there. You’re a sentimental little girl. Admit it!
Congrats, here’s to 2000 more!
Thank you all. You have almost managed to penetrate my veneer of curmudgeonliness. Maybe when I hit 3k.
Rasa, while I may not kill you for starting this thread, that does not preclude me from excruciation and selective mutilation. Thanks a bunch, you said some pretty damned swell things.
And Silver, you aren’t retarded. Redundant, perhaps, but not retarded.
**punha[/b[, I think it would be for the best if you left that comment hanging. I am a gentleman, you know. One must be discreet.
And thank you to all you kind folks who call me weird, sentimental, nancy bastard, etc. I don’t know what I would do without people making fun of me constantly.
Last but not least, Nen, it’s the quality of the drivel, not the quantity. In that you surpass me mightily.
It’s truly a thread for Maegs now if it has devolved into innuendo-laden insult slinging in dead languages. Nobody writes explicit haiku about garlic in ancient Greek like you, man…
