## Eutychus, I have been a faithful poster for much longer than he, yet neither you nor any moderator has ever given me so much as a 100 post count thread for me to celibrate with my friends. Verily, I am righteously jealous.

Congrats, Old Scratch! Did you ever consider the libertarian communist thing?

Well thank you **Euty**. This is unexpected. Though not as unexpected as **UncleBeer** throwing me a party, I must say.

My time is short tonight, but I will return tomorrow to post a few thoughts from 4000.

And sorry about starting my own party in GD, I was overcome with the holy spirit and had to witness, or something.

**Libertarian** , I have given some thought to it, and will be posting a thread in GD, maybe even tonight.

Until I return, I expect all of you to engage in debauchery. Yes. debauchery. standard stuff for the parties around here. So get on it.

'Grats **Scratch** ,

I think it’s safe to say there’s more than a few of us who’d like to see you around here for the next four thousand as well. Keep plugging and let us know some more about the local color where you are.
