Holy cow, I've got a STAR next to my name!

[Buns_of_Fire]

I just noticed it when I posted to something over on GD.

Thing is, I didn't do it. Which means, of course, that some other kind DUer did it for me. And to that unknown angel, I can only offer my sincerest thanks and gratitude.

*sniff* I'm getting all verklempt here. You people are the greatest. *sniff*

1. Hey congrats

:toast:

[Buns_of_Fire]

3. Thank you

...although I wonder if whoever did it just read that post I where I mentioned that I might post a poll on "How Great is Barry Manilow" and wanted to whomp me upside the head when I did it. (I know, paranoia seeping again...)

7. I was tempted to donate money to see you killed after that

but didnt.

Alas. :)

11. I'm sure you're not the only one

But at least I didn't wax poetic about the cosmic significance of Ben and Jennifer and/or the Essene Scrolls! :evilgrin:

2. Have you been gone?

Long time no see.

4. I've been here

I just flit around between LBN, GD, and the Lounge, interjecting smarmy, smartass one-liners here and there (like Johnny Appleseed). Maybe there's someone out there who likes smarmy, smartass one-liners?

5. nobody likes my smarmy, smartass one-liners.

you must be very special in some way.

nice star. :thumbsup:

[Buns_of_Fire]

12. Thank you. It's all in the mix, perhaps.

80% = trashing MF and everything he stands for,
10% = mild cheerleading and issuing caveats about overconfidence,
10% = really stupid but innocuous stuff,
10% = trenchant commentary,
5% = math and statistical lessons
-------
115%

Plus, I'm just a wonderful person and everyone trusts me. O8) Now, about that land in Florida I have for sale...

8. Big fan of smarmy smartass one liners!

I guess, I was not as diligent in perusing all the threads as I usd to be..they move so fast now..blink and you miss LBN.

[Buns_of_Fire]

13. I forgot the other 5%

Which is being one of, if not the greatest, threadkillers around. It helps keep the boards clean for new stuff.

6. my first thought

was that they give you a star if you make some really good posts. Then I discovered that stars were for sale just like everything else. Okay, maybe I do not have a star, but I did get a letter from James Carville today, and I have a DU bumper sticker. Now, if I only had a working car, or at least a driver - that would be a start towards being a star.

14. A star for good posts?

If that were the case, I'm afraid I'd have to look down to look up. I, too, hope to have a DU bumpersticker one day -- but I suppose I'll have to get a car first (which means I'd have to have a job, which means MF will have to be out of office, and it won't matter because WillPitt is going to put out a contract on me anyway because of the Barry Manilow thing, which means I guess I'll just hang around until... 'scuse me, there's someone knocking at the door...)

9. Congrats!

15. Thank you.

And I promise to remain the smarmy, smart-ass person I've always been. This will not change me one bit, no sir. You may now kiss my ring. :-)

10. Wow I got one unexpectadly two weeks ago

[Buns_of_Fire]

16. Proof positive -- God prefers Democrats.
