Title: Sir Maddox and the Six Thousand
Post by: Steve Jones on Mon, 2009-04-13, 15:13:43
Congratulations are due, I think, to Sir Maddox of Mad who has single-handedly passed the 5,000 posts mark without once trying to sell us dubious pharmaceuticals.

Hip Hip...

Congratulations and/or condolences, Mad.  And Mr. Jones, may we assume that SWMBO does not have access to your cache of icons, avatars, and smileys?

5000 posts, wow. Shall I make a joke about how you can't have a life outside the Room now? Nah, I'll save that one for a more special occasion, like your 10.000th post. It can't be that far away... ;D

You only have to grow 440 more posts and you're already half as sick as a 5k-man.
And since you play a lot of those song/album title games, I guess you're not THAT far away. ;D ;D ;D

I just noticed I turned BLUE.  I thought one didn't get acknowledged as sick until 3000.  Does that mean I have to sign everything "Blue Sea Mammal" now?    :o

Certainly does although I guess the cap missed a trick as surely being a sicko should be green not blue

Right.  You turn green when you're sick.  You turn blue when you're not getting enough oxygen.

I was never a slave to fashion, which in the above case is probably a good thing.  I wore pretty much the same things then that I wear now, except the sizes are a tad larger now.   :-[
