The membership counter reads 2492 at the time of this writing, and I wonder – what happens when we hit 2500? Does the registrant win a prize? Do the rest of us ascend to the next plane of consciousness? Will Bert and Ernie finally come out of the closet? Enquiring minds want to know… * * * –Da Cap’n ---

I’ve got 2942; how about bubbly for the 3000th? ---

BEFORE ANYBODY ELSE JUMPS ON ME FOR THIS – I realize that I misread the counter, and we have, in fact, 2942 members and not my erroneous figure of 2492. ## That having been said, my question still applies for the 3000th Doper. –Da Cap’n ---

How would you know? I don’t see anything on my profile that shows what number I am… On a side note, where are most of the members? I’ve seen maybe 300 names posting the entire time I’ve been here. * * * You say “cheesy” like that’s a **BAD** thing. ---

Some are lurkers, some disappear and I believe some posters have more than one account (to hide from those of us who know them but still want to post). * * * “She’s nothin but a little lyin’ ass bitch… I know she says she loves you but you know she don’t care…” ---

I, personally, feel not only turgid, but also torpid, torrid, turbid, and tepid. Yes, I know it’s rare to feel torrid and tepid at the same time, but that’s the way I feel. Tortillas anyone? ---
