The Party that Never Was

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share
1

To your left: 4063 little bags of confetti that will never be tossed into the air.

Above you: 4063 multicolored balloons that will never be freed to fall.

To the right: A super-stocked bar, geared and ready to serve cocktails to 4063 people.

A darkened dance floor, an abandoned stage…4063 empty chairs.

There’s you. There’s me. And there are 4061 registered TMs, scratching their heads, wondering, “What’d we miss?”

ChrisCTP’s P1K Party was over before it started. This is post #1001.

Well, so long as the bar’s still fully stocked, what’s a few posts between friends?

Happy post-1000 posts, ChrisCTP! May your next thou be just as witty and wonderful!

(aside to bartender: "Extra wet and two olives. Don’t make faces at me, you smug son-of-a-bitch. Say… didn’t you sell watches at Macy’s once?)

This could be YOUR sig line! For just five cents a post, JMCJ Enterprises will place YOUR sig line at the bottom of each message!

Let me get this straight, there was a BAR?
dammit dammit dammit

Just kidding - congrats, Chris! I hope you continue to have nothing better to do than post :slight_smile:

But the millenium doesn’t start til post 1001! See, there is no post 0, so BONK! Ow!! OK, I’ll shut up now.

Umm, could I have a beer? and maybe a balloon?

It is too clear, and so it is hard to see.

Zen is right; 1001 is the real milestone, and besides, we wouldn’t for the world leave you with all that food, drink and party gear.

::cheers, yells, ear-splitting two-fingered whistle::

Congratulations, Chris! Actually, we’re the lucky ones since we got to read, laugh and think along with you.

::tosses confetti, pops balloon and heads for the bar::

Let’s hear it for Chris!

I was going to pass this thread by, but knew I would be a snob if I ignored it.

So a toast!

To free booze… I mean Chris!

May your light of wisdom illuminate us all, and may your internet connection never slow.

And the Judybats rule! I’ll just sidle over to this CD player and pop in “Down in the Shacks”…

Well (sniff) I hit 1000 a few days ago and someone did start a thread congratulating me but only two people responded (sniff).

Oh brother, someone give me some cheese to go with all this whine of mine!

Ah, ChrisCTP, I did miss your thread; no excuse except my dad is in town. But damn it, if I had time for a naked pillow fight I should have made time for you.

CONGRATULATIONS!

Best!

WooHoo! Party! Party!
::throwing a handful of confetti at Chris::

May I have a glass of red wine please?

Thank you.

A toast to Chris and all 1001 posts!

Can I have a keg? Just as a souvenir, really, I mean it…

12

Oh, thank you all for coming!!

Since the band took off, who wants to take care of the music?

Byz: This IS the thread! I got an email from another poster that I was close…so I checked and I was at 999. I was perusing the boards whilst thinking of a good title for a celebratory thread, and then posted my 1000th post to another thread without thinking about it. As soon as I clicked submit, I realized it. Ah, all’s well. I rather like ZenBeam’s take on it. :slight_smile:

Let’s get some music going and DANCE!!

Oh, well, GOOD! I thought I missed a thread! So, like, where’s the beer? I have some pork rinds and a few mints in my pocket… uh, they are kinda covered in lint but um (blowing on them) I think they’re okay…

Music? I could sing… ow! Who threw that bottle at my head?

Best!

Total hijack, Chris, sorry…

Alright, you’re killing me. Just stop it right now. IM(all-knowing, all-seeing)O, that CD is nowhere near as great as “Full/Empty,” but it DOES have “Saturday,” so it’ll work for all intents. Christ on a popsicle stick, if ever someone wanted to work their way into my affections, that’d be the way to do it :slight_smile: You rock like a hurricane.

Chris! Babe!

Over a thousand posts! You need help! But not from any of us, obviously, as we’ll all be next in line for the couch.

Chris! Way to go! It’s a pleasure seeing you, and a special SAAAALUTE! for making half of your posts to The Guy Stuff thread, and thereby keeping it afloat!

I hope everything is well (Or at least better) for you, and i wish you the best.

See you at 2001!

You say “cheesy” like that’s a BAD thing.

Tonight we’re gonna party like it’s post 999.

Sealemon: You’re probably thinking of Cristi. The last time I opened Guy Stuff was when the OP was first posted.

Thanks for stopping by anyway, though! Have a beer and hang out for a bit!
