And I just barely cleared 3,000 posts.

I feel so unprolific.

Maybe you actually have a life.

I am way to addicted to my internet hang-outs. I gotta get outta here!

I should be quality rather than quantity. If you don't do a lot of vacant posting you just won't have a high post count.

I you want to boost your count you could go to the Playground and play games. Will boost you in a hurry. There are prolific posters on the board but it would be time consuming and 90% of their posts are about nothing.

Somebody should consider just dropping the post count thing actually. :cool:
 

It's only slacking if my 3,000 posts haven't made an impression. Whether or not they have, and what kind of impression they might have made, I leave to the reader. *toothy grin*

Maybe quality counts for something.:rose:

Aw, thanks. I hope so.

Girl, there's a better life for me and you...

Okay, now that we've bonded and all, two things:

Please ask Laurel to change your handle back to candicame. Once-ler is just so... so... not you.

Second, there's one itty-bitty little thing that drives me disproportionately bonkers about your posts. I usually don't play spelling/grammar Nazi, but this whole to/too issue you have is really preventing your posts from reaching maximum potential, at least for me. So a quick lesson on their proper usage:

The proper use of to: I'm going to the store to buy wine, because it drowns inner spelling Nazis.

And the proper use of too (which denotes excess): I try not to drink too much wine, because there are some seriously alcoholic traits in my fam.

One little vowel can clarify meaning so much. *sigh*

Games? Playground? What is this hellishly soporific-sounding place you speak of?

What a long strange trip it's been!

I like the new name. It's the new me. I am the Once-ler; I realized my mistakes and I'm all full of regret and whatnot. I'm not asking either way, taking that kind of direction is just... not me. Not how I roll.

Why is Oncie not me? He looks kinda like me, to. If I could lose enough weight to look good.

Second- WTF is everyone a spelling Natzi all of the sudden? I'll write however the fuck I want. I'll tell you what I told my 3rd grade teacher- all these retarded rules stifle my creativity. If auto correct doesn't care- why should anyone else? My robotic overlord would tell me if I were wrong.

Well, the fact that you have to print your posts in longhand and have them telegraphed to a mainland internet connection no doubt impacts your productivity.
 
Interesting. I would have thought your post count was higher. You must make an impact in some way with me. I've always admired your posting style and content...

the new name is way better. candi sounded too pink and sticky. you're more than that.

No, no, no... Our Candi is pink and sticky.

And dark, and sublimnally cerebral, and he teeters between the two (to); just enough to d piss off a few people...

Go back to Candicame.

Someone start a poll...

You cannot post that phrase without linkage to the song.

But ten years... congrats Rob! Or condolences, whichever you think applies. I'm not too far behind.

I am your robotic overlord.

What is remarkable is that you look the same.

I know, right? It's all in facial exercise, drinking lots of water and bargain basement skin cream.

I'm slightly fatter. That's how you tell us apart.

That, and I'm the literate one.

I told you not to tell anyone about that, you rat!

Did you at least get the lousy t-shirt?

Sort of. Not much of a t-shirt, if you're expecting Lit standards. It doesn't reveal anything underneath when you get it wet.

Thanks! And likewise, by the way.

<-------Ditto...no I'm not one of them....

Comshaw

It really sucks that Patrick Swayze and Rush Limbaugh hogged up that word.

*fistbump*

Merry in Manchester,
