Well???
I hope its being aired out in time for me!!
It was decided that the presentation should wait until you had recovered from your weekend, the thought being that you’d be less likely to puke on it.
Jackets smoke?
That and the fact that you’re still only at 999. A lot could happen between now and then.
Any special requests for your celebratory dinner? There’s some leftover pasta . . .
Ah! You’re lucky! We had just one left in your colour.

It’s lying in the Hundred-Posters’ Waiting Room… weren’t you given a key?
to the Thousand-Poster’s lounge?
No… to the Hundred Posters’ Waiting Room. It would seem a bit odd for a 999-poster to be given a key to the Thousand-Posters’ Lounge. 
In the past, the Hundred Posters’ Waiting Room wasn’t kept locked, but I’ve heard that the moderators had a meeting, and after an all night session, and drinking 4 gallons of Dr. Pig (Piggly Wiggly’s version of Dr. Pepper), some, shall we say, unusual policy changes were made.
Ah, the halcyon days of the hundred poster waiting room.
Smoking jacket indeed…
I thought you had to have something like 3000 to get the jacket nowadays…
That’s due to inflation. Forecasters are split as to whether there’s a posting bubble which will eventually burst, resulting in 1000-post smoking jackets again, or a sustainable posting increase which will eventually drive the low-count poster out of the smoking jacket market altogether.
And I just realized that I blew by 4000 posts without anyone (including myself) noticing.
I still think post total should be hidden. I’d hate to think some new person saw one of us with a thousand or five thousand or ten thousand or a gazillion posts and assumed that we knew what we were talking about.
Alternate suggestion would be to count only the posts in the whistle, flute, pipe, string, irtrad, squeezebox and clips forums, then lump the pub and polycocon forum posts together and display only the gross tonnage of same. But that would require real programming, whereas removing the post-count field is probably pretty easy.
I noticed! …thought we was 'sposed to stay mum
honor/disgrace…fad & fashion…whatever
I know nothing…
learn to use the search
Actually, I think it’s a good thing that nobody noticed. I’d guess that at least 99% of my posts are completely frivolous.
it is a high standard for the others to aspire
haven’t done so well myself!
here’s to high frivolity!
