Ever notice that in any forum there’s only 2 active threads most of the time?
What’s that funny language in your home page?
Is Rich Hall really a real person?Oh, sorry, only I know that.

Did you notice that you began posting at nearly the same date as me, yet you have nearly 4 times the amount of posts as me?
I just did. Weird.

Which is better peach jam, or apple jelly?
Have you ever been sky diving?
If you had the choice would you:
A. Be forewarned that you are about to break a bone, so you can prepare for it.
B. Have no such knowledge and let it suprise you.

Jam over jelly anytime. No skydiving or other diving. My only risky sport is the Interstate.

Yeah, Cowgod, we post a lot and rarely have anything to say. But I figure you need some BS to keep tht thread going. Aside from my usual BS, I really **did** work on the onion stories. Which Onion stories you ask?(we allow rhetorical questions, I’ll answer those too).

If by “there”, you mean 2000, I don’t know, must be.But the profile thingie quit working. I’ll post a couple somewhere just to be sure.Be right back.OK.So here’s my prepared speech:
Enright3, Shayna, salinqmind, psycat90, Debbie Thornberry, Imthecowgodmoo
MoosieGirl, Kvallulf(greetings to Madison, the only place I want to move to), John Corrado,manhattan, Rich Hall, you are all my favorite poster now, simultaneously.
Thanks all for helping me reach 2000 posts tonight. It’s been fun and thanks for the help. It’s obvious you are all very bored and need to go back to IRL very soon. Why else would you hang out with someone who did not make Coldfire’s top 300 list?I see, you already left. Thank you and good night.

MoosieGirl, it wasn’t a stab, it was poke in the ribs.
I see you are a tranlator, what languages do you do? We had a few thousand translators here in town last fall.My wife translates scandinavian languages (not Icelandic!).

According to my recent check, you’re back at 1940, **sun**.
Just think – it’ll be like celebrating the new year all over again.
