But…what you say is your 2000th, the machine says is 2005th. Is this one of them SDMB millinium kafaffles? Or did you just miss count the notches in your keyboard? ---

So **Hastur** - as a grovelling newbie, do I get to bring the sparklers, or am I religated to the broom and mop? ---

F’rinstance, my very first post (if I cared to spend 1/2 hour looking it up) would currently read 15xx as the post count (forgot to check what my actual count is, but it’s in the 1500s). So he posted this thread as his 2000th post. But he’s posted five more times since then. jayjay ---

**Hastur** , I’d just like to take this opportunity to congratulate you on this milestone. Now, will you take that monkey off your back, and celebrate like a real man? 😉 Just kidding. F\_X ---

Congrats on the 2K! 🙂 At this rate, if I continue playing that damn Song Title game, I’ll be there myself by the end of the week! 😃 ---

No, the two glasses of wine I had on the weekend are not still affecting me. (though what happened on Sunday morning is) Maybe I’m just… projecting. At any rate, I’m sure you’ll live to post more. 😃 I look forward to your posts, and will enjoy seeing more of them in future. F\_X ---

Congrat-a-doddles! I’m sure 'punha will be along any minute to run naked through the thread for you. I just need to tie this sparklie rainbow colored bow on him first.
