Join Date: October 1999. Now I can proudly wear my 13 year pin. It arrived the other day. An attractive enamel cloisonne pin bearing the resemblance of Our Perfect Master, perched atop a wooden stool with a malted milkshake in one hand and a meerschaum pipe in the other, intently perusing his dog-eared copy of [The Orlando Furioso](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orlando_Furioso). No, you can’t try it on. It’s mine. Mine, I say !!! Get your own pin !!! Imagine what the 15 year pin will look like. 😃 ---

Mine has a skull and crossbones, with the motto: “HA!” I guess that’s the special mod version. ETA: At this moment, Cartoonie has 9,948 posts, while I have 9,498. _Wooooooeeeeeooooooo…_ ---

If he has a malted in one and and a meerschaum in the other, how’s he holding the book? Does it levitate in front of him? My 13 year pin should come this month. StG ---

I’m kinda surprised you doubted his mad skilz. ---

In MY day, we didn’t have pins. We used sharpened sticks to impale a papyrus drawing of a turkey wearing a mortarboard in our chests. ---

Yeah. I had a papyrus similar to that with the [much-beloved turkey and mortarboard](http://www.slugsignorino.com/straightd7.htm). The cat ate it. ---

I try to pretend it doesn’t bother me that I’m not a 99er. And it really doesn’t. Except in threads like this. Missed it by _that_ much! ---
