The 2000 Club

Paul in Cannon Beach

I just realized that recently I became a member of the "2000 Post Club". Ritanz is just a few posts away.

Ray is a member of the 4000 Club. I think he is the only member.

Paul, I want to be just like you when I grow up. You inspire me to be a better person. Congratulations!!!!

allsteaks

Wow! I just posted 111 and feel like I haven't even made it through probation yet.

ritaanz

Then what happens?

ACU Frank

I had 500 posts as "WOCO Frank"... had I known I was delaying entrance into this most exclusive group, I might have rejoined you all under that ID.

j/k


Does anyone else find it somewhat intriguing that Don had over 10,000 posts before he left? Did he really have a job?

ritaanz

Oh, soooooooo you were Woco too. Hmmmmm. As for The Don, ever notice how ticked he got when someone dared to ask that question?

I'm jealous. I only have a little more than 850 and I have been on this site almost from the beginning. Of course, I took some time off when things got a little tense around here. Still, I think I should get 100 added to my number just as a longevity bonus. What say you Forum Masters? Can you help me compete a little here?

Let's see. If you post 10 times a day, Monday through Friday, It will only take you 23 weeks to cross the 2000 line. Very very do-able.
x:D

HRQ

One would think we'd focus on quality, not quantity. Not ME, mind you, but someone out there must care about post quality.

1,000 posts earns you a logo coffee mug from M Lee Smith and a visit to their offices to help stuff mugs into boxes using bubble wrap.

During my visit, James gave me a tour of the coffee mug sculptures. I was particularly impressed by the mug-fountain in the lobby.

ritaanz

Well, Q, I guess my wry sense of humor wasn't obvious. But you are absolutely correct. That was the point, it should be quality not quantity that should be important.

Maybe you should hit Paul in the head (since he was the one that started this thread) to get his attention and explain that to him.

HRQ

Your sense of humor was obvious and made me smile. As a self-described "non serious member of this forum" I consider it my personal responsibility to increase posting quantity and add a little bit of glitter, googley eyes and sparkly stuff to this forum.

Occasionally I have something serious and/or meaningful to say, but am often beat to the punch by other more productive members.

I bop Paul on the head all the time. He just won't admit to getting beat up by a girl.

ritaanz

x:D Maybe the "bops" you are giving him are on the wrong part of his anatomy. Currently Paul is getting his rear end kicked in on the other gathering hole. And......just like the energizer bunny he keeps going and going and going back for more abuse.

NaeNae55

Some people seem to like abuse.

OK! One....

Paul in Cannon Beach

I am getting a good old fashioned whooping over there. There are some people who would actually pay money for abuse like that. But that's another topic.

HRQ

I like the hollow sound it makes when I bop him on the head.

I don't feel sorry for him. I pointed out to him that he's lucky to have survived this long without one of them leaving a flaming bag of dog poo on his front step. Like a small child, he pokes them, then laughs maniacally while waiting for their reaction.

If he put that much energy into our new HR kit company, we'd be making a profit by now. He's trying to blame me for our losses.

I might have to ask allsteaks to reassign Paul to another department. Being a founding member of our company, I suppose he deserves something for his efforts. Maybe I'll put him in charge of the now-unstaffed glitter department.

marc

A coffee mug? They must have forgotten to fax mine over.

HRQ

Paul picked up yours on his visit. He didn't give it to you? MAN he's been snarky lately.

ritaanz

Paul, what's the point. Why do you subject yourself to that?

I know you want to participate on both boards but I know, that you know, The Don will not allow you there. So why bother?

Paul in Cannon Beach

I need a hobby?

Dutch2

You mean other than forums....?

ritaanz

There are some people on this green earth that enjoy pain. This pain is usually self-inflicted as in cutting oneself with razor blades or knives.

However, these are usually adolescents who are unconsciously seeking help because of their mental condition.

Paul, need I point out to you that you are:
a. not an adolescent anymore
b. going to the wrong place for help
c. asking strangers to inflict pain
d. it is not a hobby, it is called absurdity

How much longer before you realize that your endeavor is mission impossible.

allsteaks

I'll pick b. if Paul doesn't want it.....

ritaanz

Hey All, I know HR people are supposed to be thick skinned but ....

Sigh. I give up. Unconditional surrender.

HRQ

I'll handle this for you...

Paul is a mammering motley-minded hugger-mugger.

allsteaks is a fobbing fat-kidneyed dewberry.

ray, he's my favorite. I won't call him any names today.

allsteaks

FOBBING, FOBBING, FOBBING???????? What the hell is fobbing? Geez Q, you've been my hero and you now turn ugly on me. And you know everyone has some fat around their kidneys, with or without the dewberries. So sad, so depressed, so bummed. Where's that EAP number??

HRQ

I was backing up ritaanz. Usually she can hold her own, but I saw she was having a weak moment. We AZ girls gotta stick together.

Those special words were inspired by a conversation with ray many many moons ago. He'll know what I'm talking about.

ritaanz

Good Grief steak! Do I have to teach you everything? Fobbing is to pass something off as better than it really is or genuine when it is false.

Geeeeeezzzzzzzzzeeee

Maybe we should call you hamberger from now on.

allsteaks

Now it's clear and all is swell, after a brief phone call to our EAP and some self medicating. And I appreciate your defining fobbing for me, but of course I totally disclaim the comparison.
Anyway, since Q brought up Arizona girls, CONGRATULATIONS to the AZ Women's Softball team for winning the national championship last night! It was a good game and your pitcher was super.
So see I can be serious some times....
when challenged....

ritaanz

They done good!

Paul in Cannon Beach

By the way, there are a few among us approaching forum milestones:

HRQ - approaching 1500 posts
Dutch2 - approaching 1000 posts

If you have ever passed a milestone, you know what an experience that can be.

ritaanz

Groan.
