15 Posts to the dreaded 700 club
Ugh... how would I get out of this as quickly as possible??? It took me 2 years to even get to 700 and I don't want to meander in this cesspool that is 700...

Oldies (since I'm a relative newbie compared to all those thousand-postages!) what are your tips?

Maybe I should stop posting altogether and just stay at 685 for the rest of DUs days?

5. A Zenzic
Edited on Fri Nov-02-07 01:44 PM by Inchworm
zenzic is the feeling of nauseousness around pure and simple beauty.

A Zenzic is a form in yoga that re-creates the feeling of nauseousness around pure and simple beauty.

:P

Edit: Missed "A" as in a zenzic :dunce:

13. hmm..
I may need a hint as to whether zen, zic or both relate to a number.

I was thinking zen as in peace, meditate, acid, harmony.. lol

Is it a term like a googol?

:shrug:

And I hope it isn't too much of a rarity... but it's 11:30 and this 26 year old has to take a kip!

It's the earliest I've gone to bed this week... I work at a pub and I've stayed open later than that!

9. We should really revive the 700 club tradition.
It has sort of died off. It's a cool tradition. I lot of people here really got to know others by posting to everyone to try to get to 800 as fast as possible.

And mocking the 700 club and related fundamentalist whackjobs is never a bad thing either. :P

24. Reply to every single reply you get,
or go to GD, start a thread about anything, and participate in the ensuing flamewar for as long as you can. Really, you'll be at 1000 in no time!

26. Believe me certain issues shut me up for a while
So I'm designated to lurk in the background until something comes out.

Oh to have "+1000 posts" next to my name... *daydreams*

27. You gotta get over that.
A few minutes in GD is what you need. You'll feel the need to defend yourself, angered past the point of lurking, and *presto change-o*, you'll be in the 1000 Post Club. If you do it correctly, you'll go from a quiet lurker to
in no time!!

30. That is why I don't like GD so much
I do like issues but certain divisive issues... ehhh.. I'm as lefty as one can get...

I just recently helped defeat a guy (Republican) who argued against my own parents why a deaf person (me) cannot be in public schools... That alone really makes my eyes light up! I'm so proud to have this guy as my representative.... even though I don't live in that state anymore (coming home this thanksgiving though!!)

32. You only THINK you're a lefty,
that's the beauty of GD. They will disabuse you of the notion you're a progressive post-haste! You don't think you're a fascist? Trust me, someone will tell you you are, and why. I remember the first time I was called a freeper. Quite an education. And the fight to defend yourself against such bs will send your post numbers skyward!!

37. *crickets chirping*
And I can't even hear them... that's very sad.... especially when I've forgotten to put the batteries in my hearing aid...

A sure-fire chuckler in a pub would be along the lines of this:

Me: "Oh shoot! The batteries are gone!"

Patron who knows me: "Oh no!"

Me: "Just give me a second... *finds batteries*"

Patron: "Is everything ok?"

Me: (after I've changed batteries) "I am now really turned on!"

Patron: *chokes on beer*

Me: No, I've got my aid turned on...

--------------------------------------

I swear Deaf stuff can be the most lock-able... our hearing aids and alarm clocks!

40. Mmmm


Sean Og O'hAilpin....

Just another guy whose name I cannot pronounce... it took me a while to pronouce my own middle name...

Did that catch anyone's eye?

if Not...



I've always been jealous of Assumpta Fitzgerald (Ballykissangel), I thought I wasn't as pretty as her!

Come on... It's almost 11:30 pm and my punctuation is failing me... I thought I'd be well past 720 at this point... and I guess it's talking to myself! :-(

50. Hi Peggy!
How are ya! Sounds warm where you are! I hope all is well!

I've just finished a late night at the pub working so I'm having a glass of wine to counter the caffiene of the diet cokes I had to keep me going!

I'm looking forward to going to my homestate (which is my icon! :-)) Shopping at Tar-jay! :-)

52. My favourite Tongue Twister
Ned Nott was shot and Sam Shott was not.
So it is better to be Shott than Nott.
Some say Nott was not shot.
But Shott says he shot Nott.
Either the shot Shott shot at Nott was not shot,
Or Nott was shot.
If the shot Shott shot shot Nott, Nott was shot.
But if the shot Shott shot shot Shott,
Then Shott was shot, not Nott.
However, the shot Shott shot shot not Shott, but Nott.
t
And I'm essentially having a conversation with myself... I'm so narcissistic that I love NOT listening to myself talk.*

*that was another really bad deaf joke... I'm terribly sorry. :-(
