I promise this is not a post-count party. This is just me sharing something mundane and pointless because it’s Sunday and I’m at work, and we were struck by lightning, so internal stuff is out. (This means I can’t do any work locally, but I can still surf the net all day) So since I’m at work, but can’t do any work, I just felt like sharing. I’ve finally reached over 1000 posts. That’s all. I am asking for no fanfare, no special treatment, no big huge extravagant party. Just sharing something trivial and basically meaningless. Thank you for reading. You may go about your business now, sorry to take up your time. ---

Listen not to the nay-sayers. I love post count parties. At first I thought they were a pretty lame way of self agrandizing. Then I hit my 100th post, and boy did I feel mighty proud of myself. No matter how anybody rants about it, post count seems a pretty integral part of this board. If it wasn’t why would they diplay post counts for all to see. Screw 'em. Throw a party, act like a wild-man, let the mead flow. I’ll expect the same treatment when I hit 300 in a few days. happy 1000th. ---

This is not a congratulation for your 1000th post so don’t worry. Hey lightning? That means rain. Where the hell you at? Here in Oklahoma it’s hotter than a whore’s ass on dollar night. No measurable rain in 3-4 weeks. Shit. ---

Thanks Jack, but I was just pointing it out, no biggie, really. I would also like to point out that since I hit 100 posts a while back, I let all the other little milestones pass quietly. 200-900 post count parties were not to be. I didn’t mention it. But a 1000, I don’t know, that just seemed like something to mention. I want to make it clear, it’s not that I’m starting a party or anything, cuz I know people don’t like that. So I’m am NOT tapping a keg right now and passing out cups for any special reason, I just happen to have 7 kegs that need to be emptied. Those scantily clad women over there are NOT exotic dancers waiting for me to turn on the music. The decoration in here is NOT for a party, I’m, uh, let’s see . . . I just like streamers and banners and balloons, yeah that’s it. So feel free to come in and hang out with me if you want, but we are NOT celebrating anything specifically, I just want to make that clear – this is NOT a post count party. [sub]psst . . . anyone have any Everclear? I wanna make some jungle juice.[/sub] ---

I’d help myself to some cake but aha’s “Whore’s ass on dollar night” quip has caused me to loose my appetite. Jesus, you paint a pretty nasty picty\ure, there, don’t ya. 😃 ---

Thanks, Scotti, would care to not have a beer with me? Feel free to not help yourself to one of the 7 kegs that aren’t over there. And if you wouldn’t like it, go ahead and not ask for a lap dance from one of the women I haven’t hired as entertainment. ---

handing Bratman a bottle of Everclear. Ever notice the “caution:Flammable” label on this stuff? best put out your smoke before you start playing with it. hand me an un-beer and let’s not see some of those un-dancing girls! ---

Thanks for not bringing Everclear. I really need this for the Jungle Juice I’m not making. As I said earlier, I don’t have 7 kegs tapped and ready over there, so you can’t help yourself to as much as you don’t want. The women that aren’t here would love to not dance for you to the Red Hot Chili Peppers CD I’m not playing right now. If you want one to not dance for you, just don’t get their attention. ---

I didn’t feel like attending a post party today anyway. But congrats on the 1000 mark. It took me forever to get there. I’ll have a beer out of one of the kegs that you need to empty. Aha, wish you had some of the rain we got, three weeks of rain every day. But no complaints here, for the past few summers we’ve had droughts too. Can’t be too much I can mess up in here… ---

Just as well that I decided to ensure those barrels were not full as we would not want anyone to get the wrong idea fortunately there seems to have been an error as the brewery you didn’t call delivered kegs that were not empty but this can be remedied. In the meantime try some of these vol-au-vents that I did not make which were not left by me on the tables that are not in the corner of the room. (this is strangely Catch22 ) ---

I’m sorry Ultress, I seem to have misworded my previous posts. As you can see, this \*isn’t[/t] a party. The proper wording of how my posts should have looked starts right after Scotti’s post. There aren’t 7 kegs that need emptying, there are no scantily clad exotic dancers who are currently not dancing to the Chili Peppers CD I’m not playing on the stereo that isn’t here. I am not making Jungle Juice with the bottle of Everclear that 2nd Law didn’t give me. I hope that clears up how everything should have been worded by me from the start, since this is not my post count party and all. ---

… just like this isn’t my 200th post party, eh? Now, what do I have to not do to not get a non-lap non-dance over there (or is that over here)? And where isn’t the tequila? ---

**2nd Law** - the tequila and other assorted hard liquor (JD, Baccardi, Absolut, etc) that I don’t have is not located just behind the wet bar that isn’t in the corner. It’s all paid for, so just don’t ask the bartender who isn’t over there for whatever it is you don’t want to drink. If you would like one of the women who aren’t here to not dance for you, just don’t get their attention and they won’t be right over to you. BTW, I would congratulate you on 200 posts, but then this may start to seem like a party. ---

Okay, okay, so I was a little slow on the up-take. (I still say screw 'em - party, but I’ll make nice) What is this party for anyway, I don’t get it. What’s a post? Can I not have a beer that doesn’t exist form one of those lap-dancers that aren’t here anyway? :: _sitting in the corner, shutting up_ :: ---

_handing Jack a cup filled with whatever is not in those kegs over there_ Here you go, have all of the beer you don’t want. Get smashed if you don’t feel like it. If you don’t like the music that’s not playing, you can change it if you don’t want to. _answering the door_ Hey, everyone, the pizza I didn’t order just arrived! ---
