As of this post, I am halfway to 1000. Just wanted to get you all ready…when I do hit that magic number, please remember that I like my cigars robust and my brandy sweet. Oh, and I’d like my smoking jacket pink…unless of course ad has claim to all the pink ones which in that case blue would be fine, so long as it has velvet collars. 
Will it be a problem if we try to lump all your preferences together and give you a sweet, pink, (bubblegum) cigar?
Please keep in mind that crappy posts do not count in the tally.
Just joking Izzy. Twas my 666th post, trying to be devilish was I. Not really my cuppa tea …
If that were the case, Cranberry would be around 175 posts by now…
no, that’d be fine. I’ll just have to remember to stop chewing whilst I play. It could be very messy otherwise 
…but can I get it in a faux velvet bag? I really was looking forward to those velvet collars…
Alas, I am saddened to say that I was never invited into the club when I passed my 1000 mark. I guess it has to do with what talasiga said about crappy posts not counting…I try not to let it bother me, really, I do. 
I guess the good news is the pink smoking jacket is still available for you.
Likewise–and the only reason I started posting to the stinking political thread was to boost my post count. 
Perhaps someone can review all of our posts and tell us how many don’t count as crappy, so we know how many more we have to go?
Izz, you’re wise to plan ahead. For my part, I’m looking forward to someday shocking the lounge members by smoking a pipe (not that I won’t enjoy a good Cuban cigar, mind you; a man is only a man, but a good cigar is a smoke.) Unfortunately, at the rate I’m going, this will be me by the time I reach 1K posts:
Hey, good news! I found you a pink smoking jacket. Well, okay, it’s sort of purple, but marvellously hideous. It remains to be seen if they’ll even let you wear it:
Oh, that’s just not right. Demand admission and restitution at once: At a minimum, a pink jacket and a humidor. A humble, written apology would be good, too, but don’t hold your breath.
I don’t know if you remember, but I had to make a bit of a hullaballoo when I hit 1000, just to ensure that I would be noticed.
Sometimes the old-boy milliposters just have their noses so deeply planted in their brandy snifters that they fail to notice the breeze ruffling their NY Times as a new member comes in.
It’s just like having to make your own birthday cake…or for several years, me filling my own Christmas stocking because the kids were too small and the hardware-guy too oblivious, and it would have looked silly empty on Christmas morning. A single female friend took up the practice of spending Christmas Eve with us so she wouldn’t wake up alone, and my stocking wouldn’t be empty.
So, if you weren’t acknowledged at 1000, consider yourself a part of the club anyway.
Just so you can all get ready…
As of this post I am over half way to 100
Well, I’m impressed even if you’re not.
I’ll have you know I’m very shy
j.i.
The Times, eh? I’d imagined they all became reactionaries once they finally got in the club… with only the Wall Street Journal and the National Review permitted on the racks.
well darn it all…that means that I have, oh, somewhere around 2 posts. Looks like that PINK smoking jacket (or bubble gum cigar…)is going to have to wait for some time!
That’s IT!!! It IS marvellously hideous…PERFECT!!! I’ll be expecting that when I join the club 
Gads, if that’s the case I think I’d probably have to start with izz at around the “2” spot. Now, if we were talking OT and accidental thread-wandering, I’d be good to go!!!

I made a pretty big hullaballoo too, and alas … I guess not having an opinion and being invisible has its drawbacks. :roll:
Where did you say they have their noses planted? 
Hmm… maybe we need to start our own club for us rebels whose posts are not as recognized. Instead of smoking jackets, we could get tattoos!!! Whaddya say, NorCal?? Izz?? Darwin??
Emm, you could join us even though you got to belong to the Other One. Because we like you… we really, really like you!!
I will have to go tattoo-less. Maybe I can just get a navel piercing or something..
WOO HOO! Count me in! So…what, pray tell, are we going to tattoo upon ourselves. And, most importantly, WHERE?
Emm, you could join us even though you got to belong to the Other One. Because we like you… we really, really like you!!
I second that one…Emm really should be part of the Poststructural Rebel Whistler’s Club. She’s just way too cool not to be part of it…how else can WE look cool?
