...from 10,000 posts. At least, as of right now he is.

(John, this gives you an opportunity to get at least a couple of free posts in this thread alone.)

He joined here 2 years, 4 months, and 5 days before I did and I am no where NEAR 10,000 posts. I guess I need to post just over 7 posts on average a day for the next almost 2.5 years to catch up.

Maybe he'll just stop at 9,999.

Or maybe there will be a dramatic revelation.

Or maybe he'll buy an expensive tube amp.

I've always learned a lot from everyone here, and I'm grateful for the community.

I guess I should get started on my 10th Anniversary post, since 10,000 seems pretty impossible.

I think his 10,000th post will be something witty, well written, grammatically correct, and informative.

I think he'll finally reveal that he's Bbiggie.

I'm personally hoping that he gets drunk and tells us all off.

That's fuc#in' funny!

I'm expecting a treatise that seamlessly aligns the spiritual tenets of Catholicism, gun ownership, solid-state electronics, consumerism and law. In short, I've been waiting my entire life for The Answer, and I expect JohnK to deliver it.

But, you know, no pressure.

All I know for sure is that The Answer will be revealed with a classical music soundtrack.

I'm totally okay with that.

Maybe a medley starting with Strauss's "Also Sprach Zarathustra" and transitioning into "Mars, Bringer of War" from Holst.

Tom, you forgot Chemistry.

I was just riffing. Murph taught me.

I wonder when he will see this thread?

I've just always assumed that he sees everything.

He's being coy...

Okay, 9994.

Very. Coy.


Hey, Peter's sitting there right smack on 16000 posts.

And 9995 to you!

Try 9996.

Getting harder to count these big numbers. 9997.

A very nervous 9998.

Dun dun dun DUUUUUUUUUUN.....

dun dun dun
DUUUUUUUUUUUUUN

9999 is a nice symmetrical number. Maybe I should stop while I'm ahead.

It is getting soooo exciting just wondering when the magical 10,000th post will hit.

Oh that doggone JohnK. Always posting just to stretch his post count. Never any pithy or helpful posts. Well, what can you expect from someone who attended that university up North. His sole redeeming quality, though it demonstrates his masochistic tendencies, is that he is a Cleveland Browns fan.

Seriously, congratulations on hitting the 10,000 post mark, John. All the best.

I feel so inadequate...

TAM

Thanks, Jack. Remember, In Chud We Trust.

And that, my friends, is about as close as I suspect we will get to the drunken rant I was hoping for.

Cheers John!

Congrats, John, and thanks for helping point me to that Onkyo receiver a couple of years ago.

Fingers (and toes) crossed.

The bigger question here is, what the hell is a chud?

Chess, we're counting on new Browns coach Rob Chudzinski to return us to the Days of Glory.

So what is a 'brown'?
I can understand Penguins, Chiefs, Bears, Bulls and even Bruins, but what the hell exactly is a 'brown'?

I mean, it just isn't very intimidating.
Hell, ducks CAN be intimidating.
Anyone ever come across a mallard during mating season on campus? They fly right at you!

How did they become the Browns? The Cleveland All-America Football Conference franchise conducted a fan contest in 1945 to name the team. The most popular submission was “Browns” in recognition of the team's first coach and general manager Paul Brown, who was already a popular figure in Ohio sports. Brown at first vetoed the choice and the team selected from the contest entries the name “Panthers.” However, after an area businessman informed the team that he owned the rights to the name Cleveland Panthers, from an earlier failed football team, Brown rescinded his objection and agreed to the use of his name.

Thanks Jack. I now have another useless piece of trivia stuck in my brain taking up space I really needed more to remember what the hell it was I just went to the kitchen to do...

Good thing his name wasn't Jinglehammerschmit.

I dunno, its got hammer in it. Hammers can be intimidating.

I don't give a Shmit, Fred.

Now that's just damn funny.
How come Adrian and i never hooked up at the Axiom anniversary.
I mean really.
Why not?
Cuz that's just funny.

You were pretty drunk.

Maybe you DID hook up?

Chess, you were too busy doing Murph Shine fueled variations of the Newfie Jig on Ian's dock!

I wasn't drunk but i do recall some photography guy with a camera popping the flash several times blinding me so constantly that i couldn't see and hence i staggered around like a sailor who just came back from 6 months at sea.
I can't IMAGINE who that photographer might have been.

That's MY story and i'm sticking to it.

The jigs were fun though.

Congrats on the big 10,000 John, nobody deserved it more.

The shine doesn't get you drunk. It simply enhances the singing & dancing center of your brain at the expense of the cognitive speech center. Good science is all about cause and effect.

So that's how we can explain the entire Canadian east coasters?
Now i get it.
