We had joy, we had fun… Anyway, this is my last official post as an employed Florida resident. My reignation becomes effective today which means in 2 weeks after closing up shop here and packing up, I will be a Georgia native once again. Thanks for all of the interesting, enlightening, random, pointless, and evil (looking in SqrlCub’s direction regarding that infernal link) posts. I’ll see you when I resume posting as soon as the flood control lets me. * * * My goal - 1000 posts before March 20th. Help me out by starting topics suited to my abilities. Sports, money, politics, random things that require a funny yet totally pointless post. You can make a difference in my post count. ---

## Who is going to share a Valentine’s Birthday with me? ☹ You turn me on. But maybe it’s because I just spent 20 years in the jungle, getting it on with anything I could attract with a piece of fruit. ---

“My goal - 1000 posts before March 20th. Help me out by starting topics suited to my abilities. Sports, money, politics, random things that require a funny yet totally pointless post.” Hmmm… This is a challenge since the 20th is only 5 days away and you are going to be heavily involved in moving. How about some topics that will be sure to elicit immediate responses replete with sardonic humor? Sports: “Cubs, 2000 World Champs!” “John Rocker, Sportsman of the Year!” Politics: “Dan Quayle for President!” “Hillary Clinton, a True New Yorker!” ## There, that should help :)! “The greatest obstacle to discovery is not ignorance – it is the illusion of knowledge.” –Daniel J Boorstin [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/my-farewell-post/14734.md?page=2)
