I'm on a mission - who's with me?

[ashling]

operation 4 for 07.

I intend to go into 2007 with 4000 posts. Can I count on my fellow DUers to query on various topic across a wide range with the purpose of having me respond with an answer? (i.e., ask me anything ... well, almost anything)

[anti-everything]

1. Maybe you should post

your 4,000th post at midnight tomorrow night. Good luck.

[ashling]

10. That's the plan

I think I have given myself sufficient time to accomplish this mission.

[Callalily]

2. How many posts

before the big 4,000?

[ashling]

5. This one makes

3924

[Callalily]

11. Well, it's early.

I have the utmost confidence that you will succeed. Hmmmm . . . a question for you? I'm listening to a little contemporary jazz right now (Keb' Mo'). You listening to anything in particular?

[ashling]

13. Nothing but the voices in my head :)

No, actually I was about to go out to clean up the garage. Wanna' come?

[Callalily]

17. Why not!

I'll bring a couple of these >>>

And after that, maybe we can clean toilets.

[ashling]

23. Sorry, I left before I got your reply

But there's still those toilets. Ready to dive in?

[TOhioLiberal]

3. Boy, you are close...

...closer than me anyway. What's your secret? Inquiring minds, and all that...

[ashling]

6. Actually, my post count is nothing

compared to some folks, like California Peggy or Redstone, Kitchenwich, Catwoman, Wetzlebill, et al.

[Rosemary2205]

8. Yeah, come people never shut up!

Just kidding peoples! :)

[graywarrior]

4. Just open every thread on the first page and post "yep" as a response.

Or, 'thank you for posting this." That adds up. Take if from a genius.

Or, get friendly with RevActs. You will build up posts in a matter of an hour. Especially if you post about Toby.

[Rosemary2205]

7. Can you curl your tongue?

[ashling]

9. No

I just struggle to get by day to day with the few talents I have :shrug:

[crim son]

12. What's for dinner? n/t

[ashling]

14. Hmmmmm .... haven't thought about that yet

it's only 3:30 here. I am going out to clean up the garage. Wanna' help?

[crim son]

16. I would but I'm about to hop into the shower. I'm going over to

a friend's place for dinner. We're having some kind of steak with crabmeat topping. I hope he can cook :scared:

[BarenakedLady]

15. Will I

Find happiness, passion, and true love in the upcoming new year?

:shrug:


a girl can always hope...;)

[BarenakedLady]

18. I guess not

:cry:

I didn't think so...

all signs point to no - That's what the fucking 8 ball said anyway. :nopity:

[Callalily]

20. Here . . .

Maybe 2007 will be better.

[BarenakedLady]

21. Thanks babe

I needed that. :hug:

[gemdem]

26. Keep hope alive

Follow your bliss. :-)

I'm hoping for happiness, passion, and love in the new year, too. Don't know if it's going to happen, but somehow I think it will. All I know for sure is that 2007 is going to be a year of challenges and change, and I'm determined to make the best of it.

A guy can always hope, too. Best wishes for the new year! :-)

19. Does the assistant dispatcher at work

like me at all? She's extremely yummy, and I live in hope.

[ashling]

24. Where do you work?

tell me about this yummy dispatcher.

[achtung_circus]

40. Enforcement

SPCA.

She's 32, I'm 51.

She's a Morroccan/Lebanese woman.

Divorced.

There's this tension.

I won't do a damned thing because I work with her and I'm old enough to be her father,

but...

[ashling]

44. Oh man, I don't know

if I'm the one to ask ... I'm 54, and my daughter's 21. Her fian ... fianc ...fianc ...her boyfriend is 33. I'm still old enough to be his father, so I guess that is ok, but it kind of gives me a conflict of interest. Also, he is a drill seargant in the army.

[achtung_circus]

47. So,

you don't know.

Oh well.

I'll have to find another way to find out, Tarot, perhaps, dust off the Ouija board.

Of course, I suppose I could ask her out and see what she says.

[Rosemary2205]

22. Do you need a kick??

:kick:

[bigwillq]

25. Favorite all-time movie?

:shrug:

[ashling]

29. Grapes of Wrath w/ Henry F comes readily to mind, but

there are so many good ones. It would be easier to categorize them.

[bigwillq]

32. Favorite song right this moment?

:shrug:

[ashling]

34. The Way you look tonight

Some day, when I'm awfully low,
When the world is cold,
I will feel a glow just thinking of you...
And the way you look tonight.

Yes you're lovely, with your smile so warm
And your cheeks so soft,
There is nothing for me but to love you,
And the way you look tonight.

With each word your tenderness grows,
Tearing my fear apart...
And that laugh that wrinkles your nose,
It touches my foolish heart.

Lovely ... Never, ever change.
Keep that breathless charm.
Won't you please arrange it ?
'Cause I love you ... Just the way you look tonight.

Mm, Mm, Mm, Mm,
Just the way you look to-night.

[Generic Brad]

27. Is this like a vision quest or a grail quest?

Or is it more of a foolhardy lark? I'm up for a lark.

[ashling]

30. Ashling quest

Ashling is an (Anglicized) Irish Gaelic word for "dream"

However, to answer your question, it is more like a vision lark.

[gemdem]

28. Doing my part for the cause

Lots of questions I could ask, but I'll keep it light... :-)

Does your chewing gum lose its flavor on the bedpost overnight?

Just askin'. :-)

[ashling]

31. No

[reyd reid reed]

33. By now you've gotta be under 50 to go, right?

Piece o' cake. Hell, we can get you there in 90 minutes.

[ashling]

35. 64 to go

uh, 63

[reyd reid reed]

42. Why do you want to get there before 2007?

:shrug:

[ashling]

43. Sometimes goals just can't be explained

they just are

[EstimatedProphet]

36. Jump in on the post from your cache thread

You'll run up posts in a hurry

[ashling]

37. English ?

I'm not sure what you mean.

[EstimatedProphet]

38. What you do is, you go in the post from your cache thread

click reply

click in the subject line and type a letter, and a pulldown menu of your posts appears. Pick one at random. That's your post.

[ashling]

39. That would be cheating

I'll have you know I was a boy scout ... well, at least a cub scout.

[Crabby Appleton]

41. I was hoping it was a mission to rescue the lovely MrsGrumpy

from GD.

[ashling]

45. OMG!

I've been away for a while, but just geting back. I hope she is out by now. ... no major psychological damage...

[ashling]

46. only 50 to go

don't give up on me now :)

[Callalily]

48. I see you're still at it

so I'll continue to lend a hand.

It's here, and thunderstorms and later freezing rain is predicted. How's the weather in your neck of the woods?

[mzteris]

49. I'm in!

(Hey, I just got my 5000 today! :woohoo: )

So - who's going to win the SuperBowl?

[Gormy Cuss]

50. Which is better, a cigar or an oboe? n/t

[speedoo]

51. Are you a Dixie Chicks Texan or a Bush* Texan?

(dumb question, given where we are, huh?)
