The Countdown Has Begun....

[Prince_Serendip]

;D Only 46 members to go to tally to
1000 MEMBERS!

What kind of PARTY are we gonna have?
Suggestions are WELCOME from everyone here!
Thank you for your support! ;D

[Detox]

Well, knowing the people around here, I figure it'll be a party where the alcohol flows freely and the bits only flow when they are allowed to.

lol, that was funny! Checkout will have to add something witty to that. Where is that coyote anyway?

Given the nature of this site, we should celebrate at 1024 members. Given the nature of these members, we should all install a "secret" keylogger and get Javacool to write a program which mimics key entries. Then we dl a machine readable copy of Tolstoy's War and Peace, go online, and give some hapless neohacker the disk full treatment he richly deserves.

Or we could bake a cake.

Waitaminnit! WAITAMINNIT! Somebody mentioned alcohol! Yeah, that's how we'll do it! Off to Paul's refrigerator, gang!

[Mr.Blaze]

Blaze looking threw pauls fridge ohhhhhhhh food munchies=)

woo hoooo hope paul dont mind us gouing threw his fridge lol=) munch munch

[Detox]

What's this??? wine coolers??? I'm so disappointed Paul :-/

[controler]

Looks like the whole gang is here now !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Shall we start early ;D

What does 1000 member get as a prize?


controler sneaking in as 1000 member he he

[Detox]

#1000 in the door gets to sit on Blaze's lap throughout the entire party!!

[UNICRON]

Well if there is a door prize the most unscrupulous ADMIN will get it ;)

[Paul Wilders]

Buggers - don't you ever try to get into my fridge! >:(

Never mind the wine coolers - nor the beer and other stuff. (glad you never discovered the 50 year old malt whiskey and the Chateau Petrus 1954 - stashed on a safer place..).

Alas, we admins are out of competition 8). Registered member 1000 will be screened, must post at least 50 times after registering within a month(useful stuff, that is) - and contact me personally after all that. Expensive, good, reliable security software might be his/hers reward.. 8)

Hi snowman, glad to see you here! Health improving?

Nice to see you haven't lost your sense of humor! ;D

regards,

paul

[Prince_Serendip]

:) Hiya snowman! Good to hear from you. BLAZEY's going to be so happy! I understand your situation. Been there buddy! Been there, been done, lived to talk about it. I'm glad you can too! All of us here will toast repeatedly to your recovery, health and happiness! Let the spirits flow!

(I saw a cartoon in "Mutts" last week of a snowman refusing to melt in the summer sun. Thought of you. Tried to get an e-mail copy but no go. Maybe one of the partiers here could help? Mutts is part of King Syndicate.)

I'm looking forwards to your eventual return! All of us are! Thank you for coming by to say hello and not goodbye! ;)

[spy1]

Hi, snowman! Great to see you again! And great that you're recovering! Pete

[Detox]

Howdy Snowman good to hear from you periodicially so we know you're hanging in there!!

[Checkout]

Snowman, Snowman...
Don't be a No man
But don't be a Yes man
G'night and God bless, man

[Prince_Serendip]

:) The countdown continues. The ultimate question to the ultimate answer was "What do you get when you multiply six by nine?" The ultimate answer was "forty-two!" That's how many are now left until

1000 MEMBERS!

Drumrolls and cannonades provided! ;D

[Detox]

Why does the "ultimate" answer always have to have something to do with math? ARGH!

[claire]

Hi Snowman,
It's sure nice to see you back again
Here's a newbie super big hug just for you
Take care and celebrate with us the 1000th member ;) ;Dr

[Prince_Serendip]

;D Note to Detox: For every problem, there is one (mathematical) solution which is simple, neat and wrong. Math is the ultimate joke! (I used it because it referred to 42. Now, what refers to 40?) ;)

[FanJ]

Hey Snowman,
I'm so glad to hear from you.
Take care, snowy!!!

Cheers, Jan.

Hey hey, ooempfls, grin, ;D

[Detox]

For the 2nd summer session of school I am taking "Statistics in Criminal Justice" tuesday and thursday 6pm to 10pm, so I need a party :-/

[Prince_Serendip]

;D Hey Detox? You're really taking Criminology Classes? Field work is always more fun! I detested writing up the details afterwards. Do the field work, then go for a beer! Yeah, you NEED to PARTY and very seriously!

Lest these posts wander too much...the countdown continues...where is it now anyway??

[Prince_Serendip]

;D Answering my own question again! As the countdown continues...Count is at 977, only 23 left to go! :)

[Detox]

Wow, where do they all come from?

Or should I say, where do we all come from?

I'll graduate in December, then i get lots of criminology fieldwork, but not the kind you get from committing hehehe

[Paul Wilders]

{QUOTE-> Wow, where do they all come from? <-QUOTE}

Well..for starters, my whole family registered - even the Canadian and New Zealand part. That explains at least 254 of our members 8).

regards.

paul

[Bethrezen]

dont forget me can i come too i need to unwind

humm did someone mention old expencive wiskie ;D can i have some we scots love our wiskie

[Paul Wilders]

{QUOTE-> humm did someone mention old expencive wiskie <-QUOTE}

Nope. Merely a decades-old malt 8)

{QUOTE-> can i have some we scots love our wiskie <-QUOTE}

eh..we're talking my whiskey here, not "ours" eg belonging to some scotsman ::). Strikes me btw: the Scottish have a monopoly on the one and only whiskey - owning all of it. Still, you want ,y malt?? :o :o

regards.

paul

[Prince_Serendip]

;D Nothing but the best! A Texas Mickey of Cutty Sark Scotch Whiskey (they still make it don't they?). I mean we don't want McDiarmid's Old Paint Remover, do we? Cutty's good but I like my Crown Royal even better. How about Southern Comfort? Very smooth! 8)

BTW, all Members and Guests are welcome here!

[Paul Wilders]

PS,

Just for once I have to disagree 8). There's whisky (malt, not blended) - and there's bourbon. Different classes ;D.

That said: I do like sipping southern comfort, and that "turkey" stuff on ocassion! ;)

regards.

paul

[Bethrezen]

why malt because i havent had it befor

"eh..we're talking my whiskey here, not "ours"

not what i ment sorry if ya got the wrong impressions

"btw: the Scottish have a monopoly on the one and only whiskey"

true :) though geting a hold of well aged wiskey it a tough thing to do and expencive >:(

"Nothing but the best!" ooooh yeahhhh ;D

[Paul Wilders]

No prob, Bethrezen ;). We seriously might consider starting a dedicated "whisky forum" 8).

regards.

paul

[Bethrezen]

lol

[Detox]

I like bourbon. Hm, guess it's popular in America, especially when you used to work on construction sites ;D

[MyNethingyman]

Always willing to help you reach a new goal :)

Be Well Everyone.

[Detox]

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!! help us!

[snapdragin]

Countdown--->>22 to go!

i'll bring the champagnaide!! ;D

ducks fast

who threw that? puts on armour vest.

[Prince_Serendip]

Actually, my all time favourite whiskey is good ol' Canadian Rye! You can even get it without hangover inducing preservatives. (Scotch is an acquired taste.) ;D

The Count is at 980! Only 20 to go...

[cshell]

Hey,

Will you all let an old hard core beer drinker into this group? I would hate
to go back to some of the stuff mentioned above, because I get a little crazy.

Of course I get a little crazy on beer at time too. ;D

By the way congradulations on the number of members.

Hey,

{QUOTE-> Will you all let an old hard core beer drinker into this group? <-QUOTE}

Let you into a secret: I do belong to that same group as well - hard liquor is just for special occasions ;)

{QUOTE-> By the way congradulations on the number of members.
<-QUOTE}

Thanks. Actually, we don't bother that much about the number of registered members. anonymous posters, lurkers etc. are equally welcome. This board is a service in the first place - guess we differ from other boards in that respect ;D.

regards.

paul <-QUOTE}

[Detox]

Yeah everyone who's nice to Detox is welcome right? lol no seriously we don't have any mean people hanging around here I don't think ;-) Although I'm just another poster, I really do like it when new people come in and add their views and opinions and experiences to the whole big mix!

[Paul Wilders]

{QUOTE-> ..seriously we don't have any mean people hanging around here I don't think ;-) <-QUOTE}

mmm..depends on your definition 8)

{QUOTE-> Although I'm just another poster, I really do like it when new people come in and add their views and opinions and experiences to the whole big mix! <-QUOTE}

In the end, we're all "another poster". And sure: any contribution is welcome!

[Detox]

Don't make me think too much plz.

[Prince_Serendip]

;) Like Paul, hard liquor and schnapps are for special occasions. Beer and real, bona-fide ale are much more popular here!

The count is 985...only 15 to go! Whoo-hoo! ;D

[Prince_Serendip]

:) Right on YODA! Welcome to our humble abode! (Well, maybe it's not so humble but we try.) So, less ostentatiously than last time, the count is 986...14 to go to the PARTY! ;D

Spoke too soon. Welcome musty, only 13 to go!

[Detox]

lol, and welcome to "mynethingyman" at first I thought that someone was just messing around after that thread, but now I see it's a registered user hehehe :P

[Prince_Serendip]

;D The count is now 992......only 8 more to go!

I proffer a Wilders Welcome to dainbramage! What a totally dyslexic handle! You'll fit right in here! ;D

[Detox]

I like that one really well :-D

[cshell]

PS,

It's so close I have already started to drink a few beers for the occasion ;D

[Prince_Serendip]

;D Beer is good!

The countdown (up?) continues...we are at 993, Welcome jpjacob, only 7 more!

[Prince_Serendip]

:) A Large Welcome to POLAR! It's getting close. Have to keep our eyes peeled.

The count is at 996.....only 4 more to go! ;D

[Prince_Serendip]

:) Welcome to Wilders, zapp! (zapp, meet another distinguished Member, zappa! He's around here somewhere.)

The Count is now at 997....3 more!

[Prince_Serendip]

The Count is at 999....one more! Drum rolls please! Welcome to cherbs! ;D

[Prince_Serendip]

:) The Countdown is done. Audie is our 1000th Wilders Member! (So, now those with great graphics programs can pull out the fireworks!)

It is time to seriously begin PARTYING! Let the festivities begin! ;D

[Paul Wilders]

Indeed: our 1000th registered member is a fact ;D.

There's a "quite nice" bonus waiting as well: have a look on the "general" forum...

regards.

paul

[Detox]

Yeee haaa ;D

[cshell]

Congratulations all. This is a great forum. The team as well as
the members seem to bend over backwards to help.

Since I am on my last beer, and this is a special occasion, I guess
it's time to break out the Rum and Coke.

Let the Party begin, or continue. ;D

[Detox]

Whoa, rum n coke! This one gets to party with Detox :-D

Of course, I usualyl use Rum n pepsi, Pepsi's cheaper. Also Wild Cherry Pepsi, more expensive but yummmmy!

[cshell]

{QUOTE-> I usually use Rum n Pepsi, Pepsi's cheaper. Also Wild Cherry Pepsi, more expensive but yummy! <-QUOTE}

Actually it was Captains Morgans Spice Rum and Cream Soda. I do
have Coke, but only as a last resort. Anyway, if your ever in my
neck of the woods, I will be more than happy to supply all the Rum
and Wild Cherry Pepsi you can drink.

Looks like this party is over. I guess the next one will start for
User 2000. ;D

[Detox]

Hehe captain morgan's is nicer than what I usally use, because I quit working (living on saved money) to finish school... Really like that Captain's coconut rum.. yum! I'm in Texas myself.

[FanJ]

Hey, congrats to all!!!
I missed the party (being on a little holiday), so now I'm sipping on a 3 cl Eaux-de-Vie, from Nusbaumer in the Alsace (France), Sorbier des Oiseaux; cheers !!!
