Hrrm, maybe I’m becoming too comfortable here. In five months I only start two threads. Now in two days I’ve started three.

Anyways, as I reach the magical 1K post count I feel the need to just hurry up and get it over with, sort of like sprinting the last 10 yards of the last lap of a race.

There’s no games here, no required witticisms. Just type the first thing that comes to your mind and hit Submit. Newbies and olbies alike can benefit from this. Please limit yourself to one post per minute. 😉

Feel free to use this thread as your bitch. Pad away.

First thing that came to my mind: I should really put some clothes on sometime today.

Horseflesh, experiment threads and abuse of bandwith are generally not appreciated by the mods.

What he said. Closed.

Don’t worry, **HF** , you’ll make it to 1,000 before you know it, even without the use of harmful artificial stimulants.
