90,000 posts on DU

[underpants]

This sort of thing is usually handled in the Lounge but I wanted to post it here because, frankly, it will get more notice.

90.000 posts on DU. I just noticed it.

What a change of worlds since I have been on DU.
I have gotten married, we had our unbelievable daughter, two marathons, watched my brother literally crawl out of ice to continue to recover from alcoholism and live, two jobs, two cats, hitting 40, quitting smoking, going local/organic, losing 60 pounds, and becoming an informed contributing member of my community.

DU didn’t do that but it was a part of our life while it happened.

I have met about 30 DU’ers over the years. From the march against the war to a meet-up to finding out there was a DU’er standing in my living room when we hosted an Obama staging location in November. They tend not to bite so much.

Speaking of post counts, whatever happened to “The 700 club”? That used to be the line of demarcation and immersion.

Skinner , earl, and e have done a really good thing. Thank you. And, those guys write really well especially immediate PM’s when you on a razor’s edge of getting booted from here.

Before there was Grovelbot I contributed about $500, I think, but let’s be honest…we all fear Grovelbot ( a DU thing that is brilliant on at least two levels).

Since I am drawing attention to myself and space doesn’t permit acknowledgment of all the people I have met and conversed with I do want to point out one DU’er and that is Kheph. I met him at the march on October 26th and he was clearly not well. He died shortly after. What he did do was feed news into this site with an abandon that changed the whole thing. The admins were the engine but Kheph was the smoking tires that turned heads.

I appreciate all of the ideas and opinions that DU offers. DU is wise….and other wise. Take it as you will but respect what it offers. Information, ideas, encouragement, redemption, Stella Liebeck, anger, venting, BOLD CAPITALIZATION, and the pic threads.

I love DU. It is a part of my life and I am happier for it.

and, of course, the dude abides

EDIT: That's a lotta posts. I would imagine that by that point, congratulations have become somewhat passe.

Thank you....

4. Very cool underpants....

Congrats on all the great things in your life!!!

But what happened to all the dancing underpants in your sig? :evilgrin:


...and yeah, Keph was the heart of this place. Still can't believe he & so many other DU friends have "moved on" without us. O8)

:hi: DR

5. You were here when I first came in 2002. I loved your username.

Enjoyed your posts. I remember the 700 club...but without New Yawker 99 it sort of fell apart.

Kheph was a favorite. He was almost as bad a Deaniac as I am. His death was a shock.

Congratulations on so many posts through the years. This place has been a godsend to many of us.

6. Oh, the nights of unbridled incontinance I have spent here.

Back when you and some of the other wags really got on a roll, when the absurdities were flying as thick as a plague of locusts, when the Lounge was a strange and dangerous and wonderous place of mirth, merriment and Yaks.

As we all battled to maintain what shards of sanity we had by losing all vestiges of it.

Salad days on DU.

8. "nights of unbridled incontinance"?

Damn, I NEVER get invited to parties like that!

[Tandalayo_Scheisskopf]

9. If you do...

I suggest you take a dip in a barrel of barrier cream before you go. ;-)

[Ken Burch]

12. I'll make it a double dip. Just to be REALLY sure.

You're prolific, that you are. Long live underpants.

10. YOU have posted 90,000+ posts? I don't buy it...

That's like 40+ posts per day for the last eight years.

I don't buy it.

[Ellipsis]

I'm averaging 33-34 posts per day.

16. Congratulations

I don't know how you made 90k posts, because it seems like I spend half my waking hours here, and I still haven't cracked 20k.

But thanks for making me laugh and helping to keep me sane.

I miss Khephra, too.

[BrklynLiberal]

17. Congratulations...
