ata boy or sumthin!

You ain't quite as long-winded as 'fenders and sometimes what YOU say actually makes sense.

What's a ballon? Is that Alabaman for "balloon"?

Would a party hat make you feel better?

Atta boy.
There, someone said it.
I'm a little surprised that it's only 1000.

John, welcome to Gurudom, or is that gurudum? Oh well, whatever it is, just think, someday, when you grow up, you'll be a Post Master like 'fenders.

And as far as the "ballon" goes, I hope that is just a southern thing because it sounds kinda Frenchie, if you know what I mean. John

John - How long did it take to post 1000 posts?
I'm just wondering how long it will take me to attain so uncelebrated a feat.
BTW, please keep up the great work!

Randy,

From his join date I'd say it took about 7 years and 3 months, so yours should come up sometime in Sept of 2011...

Our deepest and most heartfelt congratulations, John. If anyone deserves credit for posting a significant number of times, with the attendant gravity and pith that you apply to each and every post, it is you.

Not a few of your fans and disciples bask in the glow of your achievement, looking forward to your next post and relishing the multitudinous archives of past posts. As fans and disciples, though, I feel that they are remiss in their willingness to leap into the fray with hosannas and hallelujas, requisite of followers. Where's the halleluja choir? Come on, boys, you can do better than this. And the master of posters deserves it.

Once again, your noble postmastery has thrilled us to the core in the vast scope of mere numbers. Obsquestiously, we ask for more, more, more. Can 1500 posts be far off? Dare we hope for 2000?

We submit this with the greatest of humility... as part of the under 500 unspeakable things that we have posted from the desert. Wondering and wandering, lost in vibrant anticipation of a response, thrilled we can share in the triumphal glory of this noteworthy day... that probably should have been noticed a day or two ago... but what the hey. verbosely, himmelberg

himmelberg, if you'd stop using all those big worrds, John N. would have more time to post rather than reading his thesaurus. LOL John
