And it only took a little less than three and a half years. Yup. I’m pretty proud to have reached 1,105 posts. You know, 229 was a pretty big milestone, as was 901, but the _real_ accomplishment was only posting _.90 posts per day_. I mean, some days I was tempted to make a bunch of posts, and some days I didn’t feel like posting at all, but I _diligently logged on and posted nine-tenths of a post every day for almost three and a half years_. The logistics of this accomplishment are staggering, you know. There were days when I just wanted to call it in. But, you know, I’m committed. Or at least thats what they tell me. Or that I should be. Nonetheless. How’s by you? ---

You’re the guy who drinks all that coffee, and the best you can manage is .9 posts a day? You should be up to .9 an _hour_, minimum! ---

You don’t understand – this is an ironic postmodern commentary on the stultifyingly bourgeois “no post count party threads” construct. Hence the absence of streamers and party hats. ---
