22,731 witty, erudite, enlightening, informative, creative and constructive posts. Words AND pictures.
Celebrate me, minions. Bring me cake and wine, and show me due deference. Take the knee for I am your leige. They come from far and wide to bask in my glory and to incite even a glance of attention in their pitiful direction.
They pretend to be someone else, or act like petulant 4 year olds, all to validate their lamentable lives on the internet by claiming they basked in my heed for but a brief moment.
Let the celebrations begin.

Congrats, I suppose, are in order. It seems an odd number to use as a milestone, though.
In the old days on the cindy forums there was a tradition (established by Wick My Scwotum) of observing milestones with a post that would begin with
"On My 20,000th Post, I'd Just Like To Say:"
followed by a list of no fewer than 3, and no more then 10, points striving to be funny but usually failing.
I seem to recall that at the end of TrollValhalla's life, Dookie had racked up considerably over sixty thousand posts. I'm not aware of any higher number anywhere I've roamed.

The milestone is that BT moved into second place as the most prolific poster.

I think most members here will understand the more subtle and cynical aspect of the milestone.
Sometimes the urge to be a bitch is far too compelling to resist, even for an elderly gent such as myself.

Oh, I see. That suggests that some other poster had amassed 22,730. It would be like Roger Maris's 61st home run.

Oh, I see. That suggests that some other poster had amassed 21,730. It would be like Roger Maris's 61st home run.:laugh:
If one or more posters had 21, 730 posts under their belt, they would not be the second most prolific poster.

Now, now, Blurt. Let me just observe, with apologies to John D. MacDonald:
All that remains for Bricktop is an ironic Knighthood, a spavined steed, second class armor, a dubious lance, a bent broadsword, and the chance, now and again, to lift into a galumphing charge against capital E Evil, his brave battle oaths marred by an occasional hysterical giggle.Quote
He has to carry a very long banner because on it has been embroidered, by maidens galore, "The Only Thing in the World Worth a Damn is the Strange, Touching, Pathetic, Awesome Nobility of the Individual Human Spirit." The end of the banner trails on the ground way the hell behind his horse, and people keep stepping on it.
Given the size of the man's load, let us not fault him over a mere misspelling or typo. He has more important things to do.

Yes, well, I also take my cue from Charles Baudelaire who states, that, for their heavenward gaze, poets keep stumbling into potholes.
Thank you, but I'll keep my eyes upon the road where reality tends to linger. And the reality is that the Lady of Van has nearly four times your post count. And exactly half your self-congratulatory pats on the back.
But, by all means, let me not taint your pleasure at having taken another small step on the road to legendhood.
