This is my 1000th post! Well, counting the old fora, but it took me a long time to get here. I first registered in 2008, although I had been reading the fora since 2006.

One thousand posts might not feel like an accomplishment to the faster posters among us, but it does to me, so I'm throwing myself an old-fashioned 1000th-post fora party. There used to be fora parties all the time, and people would bring delicious virtual snacks. There were also lots of running in-jokes, most of which I've forgotten.

So my virtual snack offering will be fresh pains au chocolat (or chocolatines if you're a francophone Canadian, or chocolate croissants if you're not a French-speaker at all). We have an amazing French bakery up the street, and they're still hot — the chocolate is still melted!

It's been a long semester, and we ain't done yet, so come enjoy the fun and games!

Woohoo! Congrats!

Adding Junior's cheesecake to your goodies.

In belated honor of pi day I have brought pies-- strawberry rhubarb, pumpkin and dutch apple. With ice cream of course, and some sharp cheddar for those who like it with their apple pie.

Damn it, now I want these treats for real!

That's always the problem, isn't it?

Would you like a fluffy towel fresh off the fax machine?

Who is watching the hamster?

Remember, it's a mere 9000 more posts before you get a cabana!

Félicitations! May the next 1000 be twice as fast or more!
I know it's a genus.

At the rate at which I post (1,000 posts / 13 years), that will take me a mere 117 years.

Wahoo Redux

You are a millennium.  Congrats.
Come, fill the Cup, and in the fire of Spring
Your Winter-garment of Repentance fling:
The Bird of Time has but a little way
To flutter--and the Bird is on the Wing.

Do you have something better to do than hang out here for the next hundred years?  Inconceivable!

You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.
It takes so little to be above average.

I'm in worse shape.  Been on the fora since 2006, I think - even before the "new" format.  I don't think I've made 500 posts yet.

Congrats, Traductio!

Allez-y! Felicitations! Bien fait!

Je voudrais un pain chocolat avec un the nature, merci bien.

And I'll bring a tray of <<papillions>> (heated split croissants with a Bernaise-like sauce, and various small bites of cherry tomato, asparagus, sliced and soft cheeses that look like butterflies, hence their name...)

Oh, and some hot cocoa/choco chaud...

And, yes, I suspect the HE is asleep in the fluffy towels as usual...

Someone might want to look for the donkey, too....before he falls in the Infinity Pool and upsets the Immoral Porpoises...

Forsake the foolish, and live; and go in the way of understanding.

Reprove not a scorner, lest they hate thee: rebuke the wise, and they will love thee.

Give instruction to the wise, and they will be yet wiser: teach the just, and they will increase in learning.
