10,000

[HonaloochieB]

So, what happens?

Certificate? Iceland vouchers? Cyber parade?

What?

[StraferJack]

oooh well done

Is that the REAL reason you came back? A crafty eye on the counter

What usually happens is a Logans Run execution, followed by a "rebirth"

[DulwichFox]

It's a bit like an Odometer.. Goes back to 00000

to be fair to ???? he has just kept on going - none of this reset button for him

Whereas a few of us stand a real chance of "doing a double"

[El Pibe]

despite my best intentions, new me is fast catching new you.

otta is definitely a case of 'the king is dead, long live the king' however.

[Otta]

Keef (whoever he was) reached 13,431 posts before he was taken one night. So he went on for a fair bit after the big 10.

[Otta]

And I seem to be nearly half way there again.

[El Pibe]

anyway, big congrats to HB, who(m), I suspect, may call it a day, again, for a bit. ,

 

[Otta]

Congrats indeed!

But don't call it a day again, the place has been more fun to read by a country mile since your return.

[aquarius moon]

No certificate, no Iceland vouchers, but a Cyber parade of fellow posters wishing you well & hoping you stay to post another 10,000!

Congratulations HB x

I would have thought a MTH warm-up was top of your wish-list, but if you'd prefer Iceland vouchers then mine is not to reason why.

[numbers]

you receive a certificate in the post, signed by the Administrator* with a special wax seal and everything.

(or a kindly moderator)

PS what Otta said! pls don't disappear again, the forum was rubbish without you.

[Otta]

Not rubbish, I still posted, and I'm fucking hilarious.

But you're not bad either.

[Annette Curtain]

No more voluntary euthanasia please H

Else i'll have to post my infamous "He's brown bread I reckon" post again

[HonaloochieB]

"I don't know. Maybe they just oughta leave it the way it is. Kind of a shrine to all the the bullshit in the world" is what Doug Roberts said after his tower infernoed.

I reckon I'll leave my 10,000 there as just such a shrine.

Or perhaps leave it as a symbol, a gesture perhaps to a united world.

The four zeros representing the four quarters of the globe when flattened on the top and bent round a bit.

The figure one applied to an ideal one world, no firsts, no thirds, just one's.

So I'll let the 10,000 remain as a contemporary totem, inviolate, pristine that current and future generations may draw inspiration, not to say succour from the power of its messages and its humble creator.

Farewell.

May I be the first to point out the bleedin' obvious, which is that you now have 10,001

[HonaloochieB]

Aaaah crap. If only I'd seen that coming.

Hubris? Or just plain old being a daft sod, undeserving of guru status.

Sometimes, the opportunity to make a cult of oneself changes/hinges on the smallest of occurrences.

Supposing Joseph had said to Mary, "look I don't care, and I don't want to know his name, let's just put this behind us and the kid never need know".

Or if Buddha had looked more like Larry David than his 'fat f@ck' manager Jeff Greene?

How different might be the world today?

So it looks like I'm not as much of a cult as I thought I might be.

So I'll carry on heading for 20,000, in which case I could likely as not unite the world in half the time. Maybe.

Never mind, there's always going back to the Song Game thread and making up songs and groups 'til I get caught out again.
