I too am hitting 10 years soon and - if it makes you two feel better - I have more posts than both of you combined.

How did that happen? It seems like there was a period of a few years where you (ggw) weren't on here at all anymore. And frankly I'm surprised I have only ~2900 posts here. It's as if I have an inflated sense of my presence!

Are you really this obtuse in real life? Do you need your diaper changed while you're at it?


Based on your stunningly emo-esque username, marginal grasp of the meaning of the big 25-cent word "obtuse", and adorably sophisticated choice of baby-reference insult, I can only presume you are an angry teenage girl who was having a bad day. As such, I'll overlook this little outburst, because good babysitting is hard to come by and who knows, maybe when you're a little older and more responsible, I could let you house-sit our dog and cats one weekend.

As an aside, dear, "obtuse" means "difficult to understand". I was in the office yesterday, and was relatively busy, and had a large bank of knowledge (the mostly-friendly users of this forum, who know the details of ticket office hours, ticket surcharges, etc) right in front of me. While I could indeed have made the telephone calls and done the investigating myself, it was helpful (and much faster) to ask these nice people a few basic questions on the subject of which most of them have extensive knowledge. I'm not sure what about that is "difficult to understand".

I like to peruse the thesaurus while I'm laying on the changing table.

You can also buy tickets for the 930 club at the Merriweather Box Office.

while we're navel gazing, has anyone else seen this:

i'd be interested to see stats going back five-six years, i think this board was a LOT more active back in the pre-blog era

Reading that would've been a lot more entertaining for me if it hadn't taken 15 minutes to remember her kid's name was Apple.

My 10th year anniversary is coming up too.

Check out my exact time. All those ones!

We really should have an old timers anniversary forum party sometime this year. All the 10 year members could receive watches permanently stopped at 9:30.  :D
