now wait a minute. Let me be sure I have this straight. The monkey claims *I* gave him rabies?! And now I need to be taken out behind a shed and shot, then have my brain dissected?! :whistling:

*Kat thinks that ALL of you need your heads examined

I'm drinking an orange soda right now, but plan to have a couple of cold beers tonight after work since I just found out we actually DO get the day off tomorrow!! :blink:

and yes, Blair. I'll wait on the beer til after I get that stuff done you asked of me. :help:

Water - I have no beer here and if I were to drink that while doing a PL attempt, the response may not be correct :whistling:

I don't drink alot of alcohol anyway, so that would not be a problem :blink: Maybe tomorrow I will have a shot at a beer - dont know ;:)

**Brian** Thinks that Kat should not be dissected, shot or consodered rabid - If we were to shoot her or any of that business, we'd lose a heck of a good geek and a teacher and friend too!! :help: :) :whistling:


Have Fun Kat, and DCC send me a cold one willya :) *hugs*

I'm like Brian, I rarely drink alcoholic beverages. It's just too expensive, I mean, I've gotta pay my ISP bill :whistling: But even so, it's very rare that I have more than two in a night, and if I've had four in a week, it means I'm having a big week... I just got different priorities, I suppose...

I'm celebrating with an ice cold one. OK, it's Pepsi...but it is ICE cold.

I like Kat and think anyone trying to dissect her should learn the meaning of SHRED. Kat can you teach them?

Admin, I was thinking that when we reach our millionth post, if you are able to determine who made the millionth post, that you could give them a millionth poster tag above their beanies where it normally says member or has the staff tag.


That is an excellent idea, and I'm sure Admin will come up with something. :help: I remember we did it before for some milestone or another. :blink: There IS a way he can tell who made that particular post when the time comes. :help:

Apparently you forgot what a fiasco it was? The problem is that the server runs maitenance every night. Topics that are deleted, merged, split, etc are recounted, and the post total changes. Because of this, it's very possible to have 2 people make the 1,000,000th post. Also, there's no way to track the person in the database. For instance the forum software identifies this as post number 990,377, while it shows only 978,103 total posts.


How about the million posts team?
Print out all the G2G posts and it would stretch out around the world twice! (hope nobody wants to prove that) :whistling:

Ok, so to go around the world once, based on 8.5 by 11 inch paper, placed end to end, would mean that each post would have to be 14 and a half pages long. So much for that statement.
But I am willing to try, I only need 28846 reams of paper to start, at $5.99 us per, so could someone send me $172,787.54 to start?
I'll let you know the cost of the toner :whistling:

Hmm ... all this conjecture about the millionth post is confusing me ... or is that because I am thoroughly enjoying a drop of Cabernet Shiraz locally produced (I live in a wine producing area!) and it is going down very nicely thank you. Also there is a footy game on TV - a pretty special one - NSW vs Queensland (State of Origin) - each year players who originated in either Queensland or New South Wales (states of Australia) play for their state. Some end up playing against their normal teammates. It's a fairly heated contest usually and the three games played in the series are always very close and a lot of passion goes into both playing and supporting. NSW is winning at the moment although we lost the last two games so have lost the series, however, this game is an opportunity to stick it to the Queeenslanders.

A nice tall glass of Simply Orange orange juice, no other kind of o.j. will do.
