We’re rapidly catching up on the guy stuff thread. It had about 1100 replies, and I’m sure we’re around 900 give or take.

I wonder if we can over take it?

Alright, dear. You may own _that_ Word, but it is not The Last Word, which is in the possesion of myself and Mauv.

Well I’m game if you are.

The wonders this thread has done for my post count. Wow!

I hit three hundered on the 24th. I hope to be past 400 before the New Year.

This thread has been kind to me as well, Corvus, I was well under 100 posts before I started playing, and I picked up 3 new sigs as well and one mention in another’s.
