What happens if I make it to 1,000 posts?
Do I get a booby prize or something? Just wondering.

And yes, there are some concerns on my part that I may not make it.

1. Concerns? Do tell!
I could guess if you'd rather.

3. Get ready for it
"Too moderate for the board."

"Oppressed centrist minority."

"Yada Yada Yada."

5. No, not too moderate for the board, nor........
...centrist views.

Just tell it like it is sometimes and that seems to offend some here.

7. Nothing -- Your Count Pegs At 1,000
You do, however, enter the realm of +1000, which is sort of like heaven. "Before enlightenment, there is laundry. After enlightenment, there is laundry." --Some Buddhist cat. : )

19. Speaking of toasters.......
...have you seen how big those bastards are these days?

What's up with that?

My old stream-lined 4 slicer died and when I tried to find a new one in the States, most were the size of a Volkswagon.

Here in Venezuela, they don't use them to toast their bread.

25. Buy the cheap $10 toaster...
I bought one 6 years ago and I can't seem to kill it. Same goes with irons...

BTW, I'm not sure I want to know what requires to be toasted in Venezuela that isn't bread. :-)

28. LOL!!!! What I was trying to say was that they don't use toasters....
...at all!!!!!!

Nor dishwashers for that matter, at least not mechanical ones. Most come in the form of a 16 year old girl.

37. People call you 'freeper' in GD 43% less often.
72% less often if you don't act like a freeper.

44. I would tell
but members of this exclusive club are sworn to secrecy.

Actually, I think that is when homeland security starts a "file" on you. Cue:
