Yep. Just for kicks and giggles, I counted up the number of threads I have moved since we made the transition to the new board software in April. Since May 1, 2000, I have moved 202 threads. So today occurred my 200 thread anniversary. The open bar is over there, and you’ll note that I’ve hired Billy Joel to sing _Movin’ Out_. Ignore Sherman Helmsley over there singing that other “Movin’” song; he’s drunk. Naked twister will commence after more of the alcohol has been consumed. Enjoy! P.S. For the duration of this party, no one is allowed to complain that I don’t move enough threads. I’m exhausted! ---

“Just for kicks and giggles” ??? Way too much time on your hands mate. But congrats anyway. Here’s to not having to do many more (!?). Or not needing to… Whatever. Let’s drink. Cheers. ---

Wow. Clearly you need more responsabilities manhattan… Since you’ve been so clearly lax in it. Maybee you can start correcting the spelling of all the posts in GQ. That should keep you occupied for a while. **Corrected copy** : Wow.

Say, how does a Moderator know how many threads s/he’s moved? Can we move this to ATMB to discuss? p.s. Congrats, I think, Manny! ---

Congratulations, **manhattan**! Are you also going to have a party for 100 locked threads, or 1000 warnings made to out-of-control posters, or 10 non-moderator-related posts? And **Montfort** , I’m guessing that **manhattan** probably opened up all his “Moved Threads” threads and counted the links. I knew those threads would be good for something someday. ---

Does this mean I can’t play naked Twister sober??? And where is Vestal Blue with the massage oil? Manny looks a little tense… Come here Manny, honey…let me take your mind off those boards for a minute or two or three! ---

Wow, Manny–you’ve moved 200+ threads, and I’ve never moved any. You’ve giving me an inferiority complex…this will require copious amounts of alcoholic beverages to overcome. \ Lemme know when the naked Twister breaks out–if I can still stand up, I’ll play. ---

Thanks manny. I knew I could count on you. Go forth on your new mission. Or you could just follow me around correcting all my posts. I’ve always wanted my own personal moderater. 🙂
