Yeah, so I hit 1000. So what? No one cares. Sure, come on in. Pretend to have a good time. I know you’re not really. Want a beer? Well, get it yourself! The keg’s over there. It probably sucks, though. Dancing women? Sure, whatever. Mud wrestling? If you must. Over in the far corner. I know you’re all just pretending to enjoy yourselves to taunt me, but could you at least keep in down? I’m trying to watch _Cleopatra 2525_ over here. Oh, and just for **dpr** , I stuck some _Red Dwarf_ videos in the VCR in the back.

You can’t fool me. You seem to be having a good time now, but sooner or later, you’ll abandon me like all the rest.

First off, congrats! _hugs_

2nd, as a newbie (as per my post count) I’ve heard lots of different opinions on whether people marking their significant post numbers is good or bad. I think. What’s the consensus?

And sorry to start the minor hijack. I’m proud of you! _sniffles_ My baby’s all grown up. _sobs_

(don’t mind me I’m in an odd mood.)

Smeghead? Nyahhh. Never heard of him. I just came because they said there was gonna be beer.

Cheap bastard probably got Genessee creme ale for chrissakes.

Oh Great. The keg’s all shook up! It’s all foam!

Damn!

Anyway congratulations. Great party. Nice to meet ya. Love to stay, but I got a big day tomorrow…

Happy 1K **smeghead**! For the number of times that you have dropped by my threads to merely mention, “It’s been done before.”, without posting a thread link, I suppose I should say that you live up to your name.

However, your own negative attitude demonstrated in your OP is more convincing. Cheer up and have some Champagne.

What’s all this negativity? Intolerable!

It’s a party damnit!!!

_packs the CD stacker, puts in on random and chuckles as BNL’s It’s All Been Done Before comes on first_

Right, music taken care of… now some things to do…

_produces twister mat and a carton of baby oil, a Host Your Own Murder kit, Balderdash and a black light_

And any second now… ah there we are: my mate (a VP at a brewery) has donated some quality refreshments.

There. Isn’t that better? Now let’s celebrate as if no one’s grumbling.

_asks Hypergirl to dance. Encourgaes Tabithina to join us_

Well, really, Smeghead-

I do believe that your’s is the only sig line that I have ever praised in public. How can you possibly say no one appreciates you?

Happy 1000-I brought some vanilla to dump in the baby oil, one of my extra special chocolate mousse pies with raspberry sauce, and permission to hit anyone you want in the face with it.

If that LAST thing doesn’t make you happy, then I just plain give up!

Now, since this is a party, **I** at least intend to enjoy myself.

(Joins the line of women waiting to dance with my darling dpr)

Scotti!!

Pardon me hyper (though you seem a bit disinterested anyway).

MMMMM… you smell of vanilla. It really IS the finest of the flavours y’know…

Sure, I may be negative, but I just had my car towed for the third time in two weeks, so do try to forgive me. 😃

**LaurAng** - if you want my opinion, which I’m sure you don’t, I usually don’t read post party threads, let alone post in them, but I don’t mind them either. This is my first, and probably my last, but 1000 only comes around once.

**Zenster** - I remember doing that once, maybe twice. How about some links? 😃 But come on - “We’re not 'ere to bicker and argue about who killed who. This is supposed to be an 'appy occasion!”

**AETBOND** - congrats. You’re my first groupie. 😃 Now I have that damned song running through my head…

**Scottchier** - OK, **you** appreciate me. Waa-hoo!

**dpr** - All right. Now we’re talking party! I swear you’re following me around trying to cheer me up.

And to all you newbies - welcome! Now get to work. Anyone under 200 posts has to serve drinks and snacks. 😃

Hmmmm. I think I’m overusing that smiley. 😃

Ah, dpr my love-

You dance divinely! Who else could twirl and dip me so beautifully to  
the theme song from “Red Dwarf?”

Perhaps we will get lucky, and Smeghead will choose to  
throw my luscious chocolate mousse and raspberry concoction  
at US-just think, we’d have to figure out **some** way  
to get that stuff off…

Tired spider comes to post party (LOVES post parties) to congratulate Smeghead, winds up falling asleep in the corner with all eight legs sticking up. People begin to hang coats and jackets on her legs.

I’m sure between the two of us we’d come up with a way or two Scotti.  
Smeg: Cheering people up ios a hobby of mine, especially when they’re friends. At least I didn’t put on the skin-tight lycra superhero suit this time… 😉

So what did you do to get your car towed (again)?
