Yeah a strap-on thread, I could relate to that. My girlfiend 🙂 got one for her birthday, from MY “friends”.

Anyway, congrats to you Satan, I have definitely enjoyed your posts, more than one of them. (although not all 3000 of them)

Satan, you know I love you man but, you seemed to request a link to be posted, so here it is. [The Strap-on](http://boards.straightdope.com/ubb/Forum4/HTML/001966.html).

And here’s a fun little thread that was inspired by the strap-on story.

Congrats on 3,000, Satan; may your next 3,000 be just as witty and wise.

By the way- are you still interested in learning about how the development of the colony of Maryland was different from the other English colonies?

You, sir, are most definitely a man of wealth and taste, and it’s been my pleasure to know (and joke with) you.

Would it be too much sucking up if i said you were one of the reasons I signed up on this board?

Not if it’s true.

Congrats, man.

I generally hate these things.

It was cute with PB1K, because it was a novelty. Nobody had ever hit that mark before.

I don’t think I had a 1K party. If I did, someone else threw it, and I never bothered to show up. They just drank all the beer and danced without me.

But I feel the need to post on this one, mainly because for once, everyone can see what kind of place this is. It’s not, as so many people often say, “_just_ a message board.” It’s a place to vent, to meet friends, and perhaps even to fall in love. You get out of it what you’re willing to put into it. If you think it’s just a message board, then you’ll never understand what it’s like for the rest of us. And I feel bad for that, because I’ve made a few valuable friends here, learned a little bit about everything, and even fell madly in love with the OP of this thread. To me, it’s not just a message board. It’s a haven. It’s my favorite bar down the street, the one where everyone knows my name. It’s the first place I go when I’m feeling down, and the first place I go when I want to share joy. I’ve laughed at Flypsyde’s one-liners so hard that I cried. I cried when I found out Kelli’s mom was okay, until I realized that it was nothing to cry about, and I smiled. It’s NOT “just a message board.”

That’s why I’m posting to Brian’s 3K thread. He brought up some good points, and I’ll be damned if I let them get buried in the stampede of congratulations. 🙂

Satan, congrats on getting to 3000 before Ripken did! 🙂

Seriously, your lucid posts are part of what makes this ‘just a’ (yeh, right) message board a place worth hanging out at, and coming back to. And good luck with staying off the cigs!

Can you give me a recap?

I hope to see another 3000. (at least)

Satan -

Sorry I missed 3000. You reached the Big 3046 today.

Handy-

Don’t be so modest. 4108 is a milestone of its own. Let us know when you hit 4444.
