Thanks, it just shows you what condition I'm in of late.

actually I was referring to the cacophony of babble here of late
Which could mean that the original spelling would be a "pun"

I don't mind random conversation, but random conversation for the sake of more posts is, IMO, rather silly.

Besides, the 1000 post-limit is more of a guideline than a strict rule. Open threads above the 1000 reply start taking more memory. So threads have been closed beyond the 1000 replies, or split off sooner at 900-something to preserve enough of the discussion.

Frankly, I was reeeeeally tempted of merging your new thread back into the old, because, you know we normally don't allow two threads of the same topic active and open at the same time.

Yeah, I think you even topped me from MY spammer days when I was posting upwards of 50+ posts a day (and I DEFINITELY had more than 2000 posts before six months).

In case anyone cares, I've been here for approximately 1342.7631578947368421052631578947 days, though a margin of error is present because of that mysterious loss of posts we had a year or so ago.

*scuffles into cafe, grabs a cup of tea and sits at a nearby table*

I've been thinking...I think that Shoes were a bad idea. Inventing them I mean(whoever did), having to wear them is so irksome, you cant just walk around, you have to put on socks and shoes and sometimes your shoes tear and get water in them, and other irksome things too.

Now that we have shoes we have to wear them everywhere, our feet aren't tough enough to just walk around bare foot and they get cold really easily. If our encesters had just been a little tougher and just braved the little tiny pine needles then we would have gotten their tough feet and we wouldn't need shoes, but now they're here to stay and we can't go back.

Nice going guys.

The search-function finds about 4021 posts from you, so I'd say your post count is still fairly accurate. Not counting, of course, the posts that actually were deleted.

spam is actually really good when it's grilled. Eat it on a sandwich with mayo, with a side of mac and cheese and its not bad; some college students would have starved to death years ago were it not for spam. (this kind of spam )
