Tomorrow i will celebrate being on DU for 8 years,and i need your help to reach 2000

[yorgatron]

i had wandered over to my friend Taum's (Clovis Sangrail) house after the inauguration in 2001,and we talked about how fucked up the whole situation was.
he mentioned seeing someone hold up a sign for DU,and how he had gone to the site,but there wasn't a whole hell of a lot going on just yet.

when i got home later i found DU and registered,looked around a bit,bookmarked it.

i have seen many people come and go,some trolls,tombstoned.

several people died,not unexpected,but always sad.

some people pop up on those "longtime DUer" threads,and like me they read far more than they post.

tonight's mission is clear,i want to get to 2000 posts before the inauguration.

who's gonna help me out here?

[MissHoneychurch]

1. I'm always glad to help

Good morning on that wonderful day. What are your plans for today?

[yorgatron]

2. thank you!

let's see,wake up (west coaster)early,make a big breakfast,turn on the TV,jump up and down for joy,post on DU,eat lunch,then go out to the garage with a mug of coffee for a celebratory cigar,then dinner,some TV,jump up and down a little more,then go to bed.

[MissHoneychurch]

3. Sounds like a perfect plan

I join you in the jumping up and down ... LOL ... I am German, live in Germany but feel giddy and happy because finally the big day is here.

:hug:

[yorgatron]

4. i was stationed in Germany back in the 80s

you wouldn't have liked me then,i was much younger and much dumber.

[MissHoneychurch]

5. I wouldn't have met you

I grew up in East Germany.

But weren't we all younger and dumber at one point?

[yorgatron]

6. behind the iron curtain,yoicks!

:scared:

[MissHoneychurch]

7. Yup

but happily 20 years ago that changed. I was 14 when the wall came down. I can't believe it is 20 years already ... I'm getting old :rofl:

[yorgatron]

8. that's not so old,

i'm 47 now :yoiks:

[MissHoneychurch]

11. 47 isn't old either

not nowadays anyway :D

[struggle4progress]

9. Try a few of these:

:kick: :kick: :kick:

[yorgatron]

10. thanks for the kick!

i would have thought a few other people would have thought this was a worthy venture,perhaps not :shrug:

[struggle4progress]

27. I probably had 1000 posts within a few months of registering here, but I'm nuts

[MrSlayer]

12. Why is a raven like a writing desk?

[yorgatron]

13. i dunno,why IS a raven like a writing desk?

:shrug:

[MrSlayer]

14. Why is a what?

You seem to be stark raving mad.

[yorgatron]

15. indeed i am sir.

indeed i am...

[MrSlayer]

17. Well you'd have to be wouldn't you?

To ask such absurd questions.

[lapfog_1]

16. I rarely start threads, but I am a frequent responder...

and then get into long drawn out posting wars with people who insist on having the last word. Runs up my post count, but doesn't make me any wiser or a better DU netizen.

Anyway, if it's a goal of yours, please post away!

The coyotes are yipping outside my window tonight (it's nearly 3am here). They were quiet for a few hours and now have started up again. Wonder whats troubling them tonight?

[yorgatron]

20. hello to a fellow Silicon Valley resident!

:hi:

[lapfog_1]

23. unfortunately, no longer...

now live in Arizona... very redstate... very rural...

For now.

[The Wielding Truth]

18. 8 years on DU! I will gladly help. Happy Anniversary!

[The Wielding Truth]

[yorgatron]

21. 28 more after this one.

thanks for helping! :crazy:

[yorgatron]

22. 27 more after this one.

double post-whoops!

[The Wielding Truth]

25. So you have a favorite condiment?

[yorgatron]

26. mustard

although i do enjoy a dab of horseradish now and then.

[The Wielding Truth]

30. I like mustard in ham, and horseradish on beef. How 'bout you?

[yorgatron]

32. that's generally the case,

but i find horseradish works quite well in potato salad.

[MrSlayer]

24. What, in your opinion, is the major difference between lettuce and cabbage?

[yorgatron]

28. lettuce is for burgers,cabbage is for coleslaw.

here's a question for you,if Lemmy got in a fight with God,who would win?

[MrSlayer]

36. Lemmy is God.

C'mon now.

[struggle4progress]

29. Wait! I think I learned this in high school!

Cabbage is just like lettuce, except smarter. Right?

[lamp_shade]

31. WOW. You're DUer #412. That's impressive. Congratulations.

[yorgatron]

33. sheer dumb luck,

i assure you.

[lamp_shade]

35. I should probably give this a little kick, shouldn't I?

[swimboy]

34. Can we get you to 2000?
