Unbeknownst to me, I passed 7000 posts. Wow.

Maybe you could celebrate with an Ask the Gay Guy V, even though I have nothing to ask. Just thought you’d like the attention, you One-Trick Pony, you. 🙂

Oh, is that how you bump up post counts quickly, the Ask the Blah de Blah?  
Hmmm…

(ivylass sits back to ponder what she’s good at to host a “Ask Me” thread)

“Dear ivylass: are you covered in ivy?”

“Dear ivylass: if I nudged you in the morning, would you…”

I realize stalkers generally prefer the skulking-in-the-shadows gimmick and whatnot, but I didn’t want you to forget I was here. I do consider your feelings, precious.

Ah, but we have already had an [Ask the Gay Guy V](http://www.boardreader.com/scripts/texis.exe/viewthread?query=straight%20dope%20%22ask%20the%20gay%20guy%22%20V&ttype=&postid=3dd64a2c10), but it was lost in the great erasure. So if Esprix started another Gay Guy thread, would it be ATGG V, ATGG V (version 2) or ATGG VI? 😃

Hope you’ve enjoyed the past 7000 posts, **Esprix** , and all that are to come!

Esprix’s Gay?!

I thought those threads were about how to be an extremely happy person, and Esprix had a bunch of little niblets of happy information that he could hand out those who asked.

Who’da thunk it.

no, no, and depends.

Yes, **Esprix** I do hope to reach 7000 posts one day. I’m hoping to hit 1000 before my year sign on anniversary and shake off this last vestige of newbieness clinging to me.
