I’ve had a busy night–I finally hit 100 posts!

I at least get a t-shirt don’t I?

Let’s see, tonight I got my first thread locked.  
Reported my first inappropriate thread to a moderator.  
Watched a nut register, post, and get banned several times over.  
Had two SDMB windows open and posted the wrong message to my own OP.  
Realized that entire threads get deleted; I was under the impression that a thread is always on the board.

OK, I’ve had a productive night. Time to go to bed.

You get to pick either the Bon Jovi toothpick or the moustache comb. Collect seven and you can trade them up for giant novelty sunglasses.

Oops! Sorry Eleusis, I didn’t mean to quote you! I don’t know what happened! But it seems I can’t edit my post - so I guess I’ll just have to look a little silly! Have mercy, I AM only new here!

That’s a bit rich, you want a prize too. It’s not enough that they pay us $5 per post?

There’s a rumour that we receive a mug when we hit 100,000. Dunno if it’s true, though.

Well… isn’t that the way that everything is paid for via the 'net??? I dunno, I’m a relative newbie with all of this! OK… so if it’s not via credit card, how the hell do I pay you for the fruit basket and chokkies!!! 😛

Of course, since this is the Internet, and we’re all just a stream of electrons, there’s nothing to stop you searching the Web for a really cool body to pay with.
