Blues Harp Bob, Whistler, Whistler's Widow and The Uilleanator: they keep me in suspense! I'll always wonder what they're thinking. Ralph Sweet and Walt Sweet are both registered, and neither has posted. Are they lurking right now?
My favorite never-poster, though is sawisely, of Guangzhou, China. Hello, sa!
Ye never-posters, here's to you!
You've brightened up our day,
In all the things you never do,
And all you never say!
It's *this* guy. I swear I don't know who is he is. He just showed up at my door one day, carrying what turned out to be a tin whistle. He couldn't really speak any language I recognized, but boy, could he play that whistle. *And* he could dance! Well, before you know it, I was hooked on whistles too. That's how it happened. And then one day, he was gone. It's like he was never there, except he left this picture of himself on my kitchen counter, signed "Steve". So that was is name. And if any of you ever see him, if someday, there's a knock on your door and you open it up and you see "Steve," please ask him for me - "Hey Steve, are you ever going to bring back my Overton?"

Lark... There you are. We need a followup to the Squistle. I am waiting *paitently* for the Pentistle, Sextistle, Septistle, Octistle, Nonistle, Decistle, ?, and Dodecistle. What say ye?
The few times I've stayed up to read and post on this board I've regretted it in the morning. Maybe it would have helped if I had taken a drink while reading. Any suggestions for the perfect chiffboard beverage?
Also, UPS lost the new Avatar I ordered and I'm too embarrassed to be seen with this one. I shoulda gone for the insurance.
Gotta go to sleep before I regret this night...
(hmm... 7 posts in almost 2 years. Do I get the prize?)
I don't have too many posts. I'll make even fewer when I stop being a student at the end of the month and lose my free internet access (what I need to do is get a girlfriend who's also a student then I can use her uni web account
Hey, what are all these people with over 100 posts doing posting in this thread? But ahh, it is nice to think one has a place in things after all. And what do you know, I really have nothing else to say. Woo hoo, almost got a complete paragraph there, on a roll now!

Here's another person with over 100 posts. But I still feel like an infreqent poster compared to some who have been here less time than me but somehow have managed to soar past the 1000 post mark. If I continue my posting rate, I might make it to 1000 about nine years from now.
My trouble is I don't have much to say... except for when I have something to say and then I say too much.

(And here I am, supposed to be taking a break, getting other things done... get a little sick and in my moment of weakness I find the board pulling me back in... )
Edited to add: Eeek! How'd I get that close to 200 posts!?! Last I remember it was something like 147. Time to go take a nap!
'I wish it need not have happend in my time,' said Frodo.
'So do I,' said Gandalf, 'and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.'
Hey, I've been quoted, I've been quoted! My life is complete, maybe I almost said something of significance? Or maybe not. It was a nice thought, though.
Oh, and thanks for the aspirin, Jerry, but I don't think the sheep will need it...I ate mutton last night.
