Hey! This is the third time in the past couple of hours that I have been mentioned in a thread. Or, more accurately, that I have noticed a mention of my name in a thread. All done without the help of vanity searches, thank you very much. 😃 ( **Dirty Earthworm** alerted me to the first one, and the other one I found all by myself :P)

Well, **Bearflag70** , I’m here now… but I’m not sure I’ll help matters much. 🙂

Quick, everyone put Mr. C on their ignore list, so we can still have our party.

A 2,000,000 Post Party? Who brought the booze?

No, wait…I don’t want to turn this into the drunken mess that was “The Nothing Post.” (NO! I _won’t_ link it! If I can’t have the two millionth post, you can’t have your stupid link! So there!)

-Dirty … and bitter

I started a thread just like this in January (after the February bomb, the number got bumped back again, which may be what Mr. Cynical is implying), but nobody came to my party. C@W, what have you got that I don’t? Oh, strippers, I see.

How many more?

But will the 2 millionth post be:

A rant in the pit where someone gets called a turd-burglar?  
A well phrased and logically argued contribution to GQ?  
A ‘my bunny got hit by a tractor’ seek for condolences in MPSIMS?  
God weighing in a confirming to everyone that she exists in GD?  
Some diatribe about the pet shop boys in Cafe Society?  
A piece of crap from someone saying me too in IMHO istead of actually giving a HO?

Will the mods come and close this thread as being a post count inflator?  
Do the mods exist in real life or are they artificially intelligent?  
Will the admins crash the boards so they can post 2 million?  
Will the admins actuallyh be able to tell us?  
Will the hamster give in a die 1 post short?

152 and counting.

OK, fine. One more gratu … gratuiti …

How do you spell that word?

Whatever it is, I just padded my post count and brought us one closer to 2,000,000. Go me! 😃
