10000: After four years on DU, I am a n00b no longer

[billyskank]

This is my ten thousandth post! :woohoo:

:party: :bounce: :woohoo: :D :toast: :party:

Thanks must go to Starbucks Anarchist, who told me I was on my 9,999th post. If not for that I would certainly not have noticed! :blush: :rofl:

[KitchenWitch]

1. Rock On billyskank!

I LOVE your posts!

:loveya: :headbang:

[billyskank]

5. Thanks KW!

I just LOVE you!! :loveya:

2. HURRAH.

:loveya: :toast: :party: :bounce: :woohoo: :yourock:

We definitely need a celebration for one of the bestest and hunkiest DUers (plus he's one of ours and understands my queer spellings :D ).

[billyskank]

6. Us limeys gotta stick together!

:rofl: :pals:

Thanks mason! :bounce:

[tjwmason]

9. We sure do.

No scurvy round here. :bounce:

[REP]

3. Congratulations.

Man, I am such a slacker. I've been here 4 years, and I have just over 5,300 posts.

[billyskank]

7. Thanks!

5K posts in four years is quite reasonable! It's just all these newbies who joined at and since the 2004 election who all get 10K posts in their first three months! No wonder DU has to go to level 5 every few weeks!! :rofl:

63. Hey,

I resemble that remark! x(

[billyskank]

64. Oh nooo

I'm sorry!

Now I have to find a way to earn your forgiveness all over again. :hug:

[XemaSab]

65. Hey, I forgot that you were working on earnng my forgiveness!

:P

[billyskank]

66. I guess there's nothing for it then

I'll have to come to California. :)

[XemaSab]

68. Dude, come out here!

I'll show you the sights!

Redwoods, San Francisco, Yosemite, active volcanos, the Klamath Basin... it'll be great! :D

[billyskank]

69. Okay, this is the deal

I am supposed to be going to Germany for a week in April. That, and a trip to India in the autumn, and all my vacation time this year is used up.

But, there is a question mark over the trip to Germany. I am not sure if I will go or not. If it turns out that I do not go, I can maybe take a week off work in the summer, plus the preceding friday and the following monday, and maybe just maybe sneak in a trip stateside.

But no promises! Failing that, it's 2007 at the earliest, and I am planning a BIG trip to see as many DUers as I can.

Okay? :)

[LaraMN]

[Ron Mexico]

37. Congrats. I doubt I'll ever reach that

because as I approach the 700 Club :scared: I might lose my courage and whip up a new name to avoid it, perpetually staying under a thousand. I'm hoping to work up the courage to stick with this name, but I'm not sure that being in thr 700 Club :scared: won't turn me into a pompous shithead who runs around shoving his morals down everyone's throat.

[billyskank]

39. Thanks!

Don't worry about the 700 club. It's a phase we all pass through! :pals:
