Whee!
 

I just noticed my last post was 3499. That means THIS one is 3500!

:bday: :silly:

...
Um .. OK I guess that's enough of that shameless post padding. :splat:

You still have a 3 in front of your post count? tsk, tsk.....

Congratulations :onfire: :multi: :rainbowa: . I guess you are impossible to catch. :sad:

I had more posts than either Brad or Steve at one point! THOSE days are long in the past, though. :lol:

I think you're catching up to me Bob ... :razz:

Tony - don't worry about Steve or Brad here. What really matters is the quality of posts not the quantity :lol:

Oh sure, now you tell us!!

Wov, another constructive post from Brad. Tony you can't keep up with that. :biggrin: :biggrin: :biggrin:

I am sure we are all guilty of some less than constructive posts :rolleyes: OK, some more than others :razz:

Isn't that what the Lounge is for... any and all BS :razz:

Bob - I think you took my remarks way too seriously. :mrgreen:

Way to go Tony!! :mrgreen:

I got a ways to go yet to catch up :wink:

Christy :)

Move it, Christy! :mrgreen: Less work, more posts!

Oh look, I'm over 2600... :rolleyes: still just a rookie.

Bob suspects (knows) you're talking about him too... :razz: And his use of socially awkward smileys doesn't help. :mrgreen: :rolleyes: :biggrin: :eek: :evil:

Catching up... I think I'm 2nd or 3rd for posts per day, although it's dropped in the past few months.

According to a very rough mental calculation, if everyone maintains their current rate, by the time I reach about 7000 posts I'll be in third place. :lol:

Good grief Alan, you're right. More gratuity, less constructivity!

:razz:

<pad, pad, pad!>

On that note, I also have noticed that Bob uses :rolleyes: a lot.

"Sometimes I eat bananas :rolleyes: "

"Zoos for sale :rolleyes: "

"Get thee back from whence ye came :rolleyes: "

:rofl:

Good one! :rolleyes: :razz:

you guys sure post a lot :rolleyes:

(Is that the Aussie version? :lol: )

Nah, that's the Quinn version :mrgreen:

Someone else with too much time on their hands :razz:

Gotta go study but parking isn't free at school until 5:00PM, and I need my car for indoor soccer afterwards. :lol:

when was that, the day we joined the board? :mrgreen:

I had to go away for 7 week so brad could catch me.. he was sulking about it and sending me threats if I didn't let his get higher :rolleyes:

Man, you guys post too much. I cant keep up!

My favorite quote... :razz:

I mean really, look at Quinn - the guy's an animal!

Trouble is, his posts often have some substance (can you believe that guy?)... :razz:

:mrgreen:

You play indoor soccer in your car??? :eek:

Does not whence mean "where from" :question: Therefore making the "from" redundant. :rolleyes:

Bob, as usual, champion of proper English, we salute you. :splat:

Hooray for John Kerry. :usa

O crap, I missed the debate - how did it go?

Most of the critics feel that Kerry kicked some serious butt. I only watched about half and while I agree, I'm really freaking biased. :lol: Anyways, Bush was as usual tripping over his words and using the same clichés over and over, while Kerry was extremely well prepared, and I felt presented a clear message, and if the American public doesn't understand his stance on Iraq now, they never will. I was listening to an American radio broadcast afterward and they said the pundits are predicting the polls to jump in Kerry's favour, although how long this last, or should we say, how long he can avoid the mud flinging from the Republican camp, is anyone's guess.

The thing that I find particularly funny - "which man will best protect America from another 9/11?" Uh, how about, neither/both? This is such an absurd question in my mind, and yet people keep repeating it. I realize that this is a serious issue for Americans and Westerners as a whole, but one man cannot save anyone from the security holes that allowed that attack to happen. Only pouring more money into the various services and organizations associated with "homeland security" (sounds so Evil Empire to me) will shore up the metaphorical walls. Kerry made some excellent points as well, including about how 95% of cargo shipments in and out of the USA are still not scanned in any form (I don't know where he got this but if it's true, wow), and I think that really speaks for Bush's agenda. Also Kerry brought up the rich-boy tax cut and Halliburton, which I hope hit home for some people.

I think 9-11 made an indelible imprint on most, I myself was on reefs.org that AM and someone alerted us to watch TV, at which point I was able to see the second plane hit live on camera.

If Bush had not reacted in some/any way, what then would the US opinion been of him then ?

I don't really give a hoot about politics so that's all I have to say.

But Bush didn't react to the threat, he used the attacks as an excuse to attack someone entirely different for his own gains. It was the perfect diversion for his administration to assume a scary amount of control and camel-loads of money.

In Rumsfeld's own words, all they needed was "another Pearl Harbour".

Without a very effecient (and expensive) propaganda machine the American public would realize just how much they have been taken advantage of by that stupid monkey and his playmates!

No sense holding back at 12:11 in the morning, is there Tim?
:mrgreen:

.... :neutral: I was happy that I hit 3500 posts. Whee. :frown:
