Milestone posters



In commemoration of our 47,000th posting, Avenging Washcloth made a speech which rallied the troops, made them sit up and notice how noble our cause was, or at least how silly. smiley - silly Before they all fell asleep, that is. smiley - zzz It has been transcribed here in it's entirety in the hopes that those reading it will find a cure their insomnia:"Fourscore and seven thousand posts ago, our forethingites brought forth on this thread a demented idea, conceived in utter futility and dedicated to the proposition that all days of the week are illogically and unwisely named. Now we are engaged in a foolhardy cause, testing whether this cause or any plan so conceived and so dedicated can long endure. We are met on the great thread of this battlefield. We have come to dedicate a portion of this thread as a senseless posting-place for those who here gave their manicures that our manifesto might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this. But in a larger sense, we cannot dedicate, we cannot consecrate, we cannot hallow this thread. The brave men and women, sitting upright and lying about listlessly who struggled here have consecrated it far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what we did here. It is for us the inanely posting rather to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us -- that from these honored Thingites we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the great full measure of devotion -- that we here highly resolve that these ninnies shall not have posted in vain, that this nation under Thing shall have a new birth of absurdity, and that government of the Thing, by the Thing, for the Thing shall not perish from Hootoo, forever."


Therefore, without any further ado or grandstanding, in commemoration of each milestone posting on 3N, and for going above and beyond the call of duty, posting from home, from work, at any and all times, against all odds, just to reach any and every milestone posting as quickly as possible... to make our cause for "Thing" known to all the world, we award the following loyal Thingites these special commemorative smiley - sporks
(number of smiley - sporks awarded are based on the number of milestone postings achieved by each Thingite):

And now, for the most amazing milestone posting ever, in any forum, anywhere in all of H2G2, the 42,000th posting on 3N.

smiley - spork42,000 - Clive the Flying Ostrich

drat - it's nearly 1.00am again. I've got w**k on the morrow.



Here's the wee speech I was cooking up in any event:





People just remember - according to that most remarkable, certainly the most successful book, ever to come out of the Great Publishing Corporations of Ursa Minor - The Earth was destroyed on a Thsmiley - bleepday.



Consider that as The Campaign to re-name Thursday, 'Thing' reaches new and urcharted stratospheric heights in the history of the h2g2 community. 42 THOUSAND postings is a landmark beyond compare.





smiley - cheers





Now, some nit-picky types may notice that this quote does not seem to reference back to the post which bears the posting number 42,000, but instead links to the post which bears the number 41,998. I assure you that the referenced posting is indeed post 42,000, but due to a small rip in the space time continuum which caused the one which bears the number 42,000 to be blank, a few posts were misnumbered somewhere between 41,000 and 42,000, so that the one which appears to bear the number of 42,000 is in fact *not* 42,000, but in actuality 42,002, making the one which bears the number 41,998 to be the *real* post 42,000. It has been theorized and generally believed among all Thingitedom that this rip occurred because the poster was fully aware that all Thingites were graciously allowing Clive our Warlord to have the honor of making that posting. However, the person whose name appears on the blank posting with the number 42,000 on it insisted on making that posting himself, thus causing irreparable harm to the space-time continuum and resulting in a blank posting bearing the number 42,000. May such a dishonorable thing never happen again! smiley - yikes

smiley - spork43,000 - Lady Scott

Too late. You had your chance.


smiley - spork44,000 - Shea the Sarcastic

Imagine if, when Neil Armstrng first stepped onto the moon in 1969, he'd been swiftly followed by aproximately 300 mainiacs all carring red and white striped blankets, picnic hampers and all trying to test the theory that the moon is really made from cheese.smiley - cheesecake



Well it's a loose analogy, I'll be the first to admit - but the point is valid nonetheless:

We are in virgin territory here people, 50,000 postings. Say it with me Fifty THOUSAND posts.smiley - wow



It's an impressive feat and oh my - the fun we've had getting here!smiley - biggrin



And we may yet clinch a world record out of it - now How Cool would that be!?!?smiley - coolsmiley - wow
