If you have posted more than 100 times today

[ThomCat]

and you're somehow still keeping up with everything at work... Is that a sign that you've been drinking WAY too much caffeine? :bounce:

:hi:

[lizziegrace]

1. If you're speaking of yourself

then by all means - YES!!! :bounce:


:hug:

[ThomCat]

2. Wheee!

:woohoo:

No more chocolate or coffee. Or coffee with chocolate! :P

[lizziegrace]

4. Wheeee!!

:woohoo:


You'll be wide awake 'til Sunday. :rofl:

[Blue-Jay]

3. I've never posted 100 times in a day EVER.

I figure that people don't give a shit what I'm having for dinner or if my leg itches or what my shoe size is.

Have I underestimated the interest in the minutiae of my day-to-day life?

[redqueen]

5. Do people have to be interested?

Shit... I'm doing it all wrong.

[ThomCat]

9. Pshaw! How can you claim that people aren't interested?

You're fascinating! And smarter than the average bear! And beautiful too! :hug:

[redqueen]

14. Awwwwww!

:blush:

:loveya:

:hug:

[Blue-Jay]

13. I guess not.

[ThomCat]

8. Perhaps.

:shrug:

When you know people here it's easy to get drawn into conversations. I've met a lot of DUers, have plans to meet others, and just plain like to talk to a lot of the people here. :)

And there is certainly no shortage of threads on all the various forums to contribute to. I've mostly saturated the lounge today, but that's not always true. There are people here who can post that often in a day without leaving GD.
:shrug:

[Blue-Jay]

10. I just ate some horseradish hummus with chips!

Best hummus I've ever had! Seriously.

[ThomCat]

15. I crave horseradish!

But not in hummus. :shrug:

I make my own Horseradish sauce with vegan mayo and a touch of salt. I put it on almost anything! :9

[Blue-Jay]

20. I'm no hummus fan myself.

In fact, I think it tastes mostly like pureed lawn clippings. The horseradish-flavored stuff is pretty good though. Tribe brand (Same great taste! All new package!)

[ThomCat]

22. And Tribe of Two Sheiks (sp?)

doesn't have the presevatives in it that cause my Migraines! Woo Hoo! I can actually eat that brand! :)

I get easily excited about food. It's amazing that I'm still relatively thin.

[Blue-Jay]

24. I dunno...

From the label, www.tribehummus.com is the website. Apparently, it's good for you. Who knows? It tasted pretty good.

[ThomCat]

25. I'll bet they shortened it to just Tribe to avoid

anti-arab prejudices. :shrug:

See, we're chatting about Hummus! And this has been a pretty interesting conversation. So there! :)

[Blue-Jay]

27. You're a good man, Mr Thomas.

I like you.

[ThomCat]

33. Thank you very much.

You're pretty cool and awesome too. :)

[MilesColtrane]

47. I just clipped my toenails...ask me anything!!

Yeah, I never understood that, but then again I loathe getting stuck on the phone with someone talking just to hear their head rattle.

[trof]

6. Do you pronounce the 'H' in Thomcat? Or is it silent.

I need to know for a project I'm working on.
Is it 'Tom', like in Thom McAn shoes?
Or is it THom?
Thank you.

[ThomCat]

11. That depends.

I answer to Th-om if people call me that. But usually it's T(h)-om.

Some friends of mine used to call me Th-om just because they could. One of them has a heavy chinese accent and pronounced it Th-um. So I answer that too. :)

[trof]

28. Wasn't that a niggling question?

I get curious about weird stuff sometimes.
:shrug:

[ThomCat]

31. Yes, but answering niggling questions can be fun too!

:)

Have you ever posted an explanation for your ID? What does trof mean?

[trof]

36. tHE rETIRED oLD fART

And I used all lower case on purpose so it would be easier to type.
I have CONCERN for my fellow DUers.
:-)

[ThomCat]

38. That is incredibly Cool!

Congratulations on being retired! :)

I don't get the impression from your posts that you're old enought be retired. I don't know what that really means, but somehow I just assumed you were closer to my age (late 30s or 40s).

The flaw of assuming everyone else is just like yourself, I guess.

[trof]

40. I work on keeping my vocabulary 'current'.

Thanks.
I was an airline pilot.
The late, lamented TWA.
Trans World Airlines.
Hung it up in '99.
A few years before mandatory (at 60), but I was ready.
I'm 66.

And just today I learned that you're gay.
Well, gee whiz.
What else is new?
I believe in 'different strokes' and everybody's welcome to the party.
Why not?
:hi:

[DarkTirade]

7. Or maybe just a sign that you're really good at multi-tasking.

Or that your work isn't very challenging... :)

[ThomCat]

17. My work today is record updates and documentation.

:(

It's very detailed and precise, and even small errors can cause reporting problems so I'm the only one who does this work. But it's not very challenging when you know all the problems and quirks.

[Guava Jelly]

12. I haven't done 100 in a day in ages

Hell I am down to about a dozen..

[ThomCat]

19. Is that why we're all going through GoPsUx withdrawl?

:cry:

Come back to us! We love you! :hug:

[Guava Jelly]

39. That is so freaken nice of you to say.

I love it here and I have met some very fucking awesome people.
I have formed friendships that you just can't buy.
:hug: btw..You are a good guy..Thank you for being a part of DU. :hug:

[ThomCat]

42. You too.

:hug:

[Parche]

16. Naw

Me cant have caffeine, my stomach rejects it...makes me ill and angry......:hi:

[ThomCat]

21. I wouldn't doubt that you're keeping up with me.

:hi:

So how's your sweet tooth? People who don't dose on caffeine tend to dose on sugar. :)

[Parche]

30. Hey Sugar

Now that i can dose on!!!! maybe some milkduds or sweet tarts....but nothing like that today

:hi:

[Gonzo Gardener]

18. Today or in the last 24 hours? ;-)

[ThomCat]

23. Since about 9am this morning.

:P

[Gonzo Gardener]

26. I quit ...

very early this morning after posting a bad copycat and earning a lock on another.

I'm just getting warmed up tonight...

Mwah-ha-ha-ha-ha!!!

:evilgrin:

[ThomCat]

29. Warning noted

I'll make sure to stand back and stay out of your way. :rofl:

[Gonzo Gardener]

41. Stick around...

brew up another pot... while I make an ass of myself in 5-4-3-2...

:rofl:

[Fox Mulder]

32. Holy cow.

I don't think I've ever posted a 100 times in a month, let alone a day.

[ThomCat]

35. Your job probably doesn't happen in bursts then.

:shrug:

I have to build up this incredible momentum, and then the intensity of the work dies down but I don't want to stop moving, so I come to DU to keep doing lots of stuff quickly. And then the momentum builds up at work again. And then it slows down and I come back here.
:P

[Mugu]

43. I haven't posted 100 times in several months.

But threads like this help. :)

Regards, Mugu

[ThomCat]

46. When I was new to DU it took me years to get my first 1000.

And then I started to know people. You'll speed up on a curve too. :)

[SPKrazy]

34. I coul do it

but my work won't let me even access DU there

:grr:

[ThomCat]

37. That truly sucks.

:(

I'm sorry.

If I didn't have the internet, given how alternately erratic, stressful and mind-numbing my job can be, I don't know how I'd get through some days.

[TrogL]

44. Now lookit....I only had four pots

leave me alone.

[ThomCat]

45. Clean canadian air making you surly today?

:P

:hi:
