Now you’ve done it. Expect a big guy (with a bat) named Vinnie to stop by your house soon.

Lynn hates happiness. That’s why she’s the Lady of the Pit. 😃

Indeed, just by appearing in this thread, SPOOFE and I are marked for death. In hindsight, perhaps it was a bad idea to even open the reply window…

I’ve developed such a healthy respect for Her Pitness that, when we discuss fonts in my graphic design class and the prof mentions a certain type family, I develop a twitch visible from the space shuttle.

My goodness, Juni… last I saw, you were a newbie with eighty posts, and now, suddenly, you’re at nearly 300… I feel like I don’t post enough 🙂

Oh, and happy thousand, Lynn! (Don’t hurt me!)

That’s bullshit **SPOOFE**. No woman who likes chocolate could not like happiness.

Here lynn, to celebrate 1000 posts, I present you with 1000 pounds of chocolate.

Well, at least you don’t get free fonts from [http://www.nobodoni.com](http://www.nobodoni.com). As a matter of fact, I think anyone that clicks on that link is doomed.

Oh, and happy 1000, Lynn. 😃

Oops. I just clicked on the link.

And you know, Lynn had 4,000 posts until that [a-hole Euty](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=59229) deleted most of them. 🙂

And, **oldscratch** , just make sure that’s not Hershey’s chocolate.

Let’s see… 160 calories/oz… 2million560thousand calories.

Each 1800 excess calories adds a pound of fat…

So that would make Lynn 1,422 lbs. heavier. (I guess the extra 442 lbs are “water weight”)

Maybe you’d better skip the chocolate and send a card.

Oh no. Lynn is a Bona-Fide Goddess, you see, and the moment chocolate crosses her lips, it becomes as healthy as a stick of celery, without losing any of it’s sweet goodness.

She can do all kinds of nifty things like that. 😃

So, Lynn, where would you like me to send this gift certificate for a lifetime supply of Godiva, Ghirardelli, and Lindt?

Happy 1000, and thank you for not killing me! 😃

I’m touched, really. And Persephone, would you PLEASE inform my doctor about this aspect of My Diety? She keeps insisting that chocolate is BAD for me!

Congratulations Lynn-

And thank you for all of the hard work you do in keeping this place wonderful. Or at least preventing anyone from killing anyone else. Or both. Yeah, both!
