*Runs back in from the backlog, lights a desparately needed ciggy, cracks open a desparately needed 
and finally understands why TJ and ERs names changed in the middle* "Honest officer I've never seen that duck before in my life." I think. More 
etc.. etc... And just think, if I hadn't needed to buy dog food on my way back from work I would have been here to see it. *kicks dog for making him miss it* 
Never before have two more worthy knighthoods been given.
"Prithee, if'n I had a Knighthood (night hood), why I would use it to keep my ears warm in bed."

I LOVE THING!
Btw, the QO 10000 post was some sort of incoherent posting by 2legs. Nothing to match the eloquence and humour of Clives posting.
If I remember correctly, it took them at least twenty minutes (and twenty odd posts) to realise that they'd done it. They had no savouring, no party and no 
s. Hardly worth the effort, I'd have thought.

Well you know what they say about Thingites ... 
Just checked up on the QO thread and they didn't even doff their hat, let alone crack open the ... in fact ... the question posed was little more inspiring than:
"Do you agree that I didn't stand a chance of spelling that properly?"
Clive, your words were nothing if not inspirational, motivational, recreational, hyper-spatial, and most of all educational ... hats are being doffed throughout the known world, and I've heard (may just be a rumour) that the 10000th No No No posting was met with a moment of world peace ... if that doesn't confirm the opmnipresent, omnipotent, omniverous immenseness of all things Thing, then you can call me Susan.
Thank Crunchie it's THING

*kicks dog again* Must go and walk the nearlywolf, will return to celebrate a little more later. Did you notice the lack of multiple postings, did you notice the quality of conversation going on? Who the **** are Q O anyway?

I can't believe how great this place is!
everyone
I've only been here for 5 months, but in that five months this place has brought me so much fun, happiness, joy, warmth, and companionship. I would say that it is hard to explain, but I'm sure you all know what I'm talking about! It's only hard to explain to someone who has never spent any time here.
And in the near future I will be getting even more *companionship* because of this place! 
BOB I love it here!

As a "Questions Only" person I was going to offer my hearty congratulations on achieving such a magnificent landmark and to achieve it on such as auspicious day as Thing.
But as you've all been so rude about us in the last few posts, I won't bother. Sod the lot of you.

Funny how Greydesk thinks we're being rude in our own thread after the Q O people - including Greydesk - all invaded us to gloat after they artificially manufactured 1200 posts in one day in their quest to eclipse us.
Well, they may have overtaken us in volume, but never in content! Our pride is intact! We are Thingites! And our leader is the great Ostrich Warlord Clive!
The Thingites will never be outclassed!
