Well, eleven now.

I'll hit the big 5000. I'm waffling. It seems too big a thang to ignore, and yet I'm not sure I'm ready for a landmark yet, especially while Slash's is still on first page.

I'm forever loathe to do something because everyone else is doing it (almost to a neurotic level), and yet I think the landmark threads are important. I just can't decide what I want to do. [Frown]

Until I decide for sure, I'm going to be posting as "Toni," which many people here know me as, anyway.

And in the meantime, I'll try and think of summin'.

Well, Antonio...

We spect sumpin' special, eh? [Big Grin]

Posted by Amka (Member # 690) on :

We wants it, Ralphie. We needs it.

This isn't about being trendy and doing something just because everyone else is doing it. We've all been here a while, once we are making a 'landmark post'. It is you giving us your story. It is a gift.

I have confidence you will know the right things to share.

Give up the goods, Toni! Your adoring fans have waited long enough.

And it better be hilarious, sad, touching, enlightening and ...well, more adjectives to follow.

No pressure, though. [Big Grin]

As long as it includes no references to copping feels while giving hugs, it'll be fine.

Or, at the very least, *I* will be fine.

Posted by katharina (Member # 827) on :

Okay, I must protest.

Landmark post means total posts. It means every post as Toni is CHEATING. We wants it. Please, please write. Please do.

Posting as Toni is CHEATING because if you are posting, you are not writing landmark post. And you should be. So, no more CHEATING, and instead, write! We wants it! [Smile]

Preeeciousssss...better watch out Antonia dear...looks like Kat might get a little desperate on ya. [Wink]

I agree with her though, cough it up! [Big Grin]

Posted by rivka (Member # 4859) on :

Yeah, plus this whole Ralphie-posting-as-Toni thing is messing with my head.

I already did the automatic Ralphie=Toni thing when I saw Ralphie posts, and the reverse when I responded to them. But Toni=Ralphie=Toni is just too many steps for my poor brain! [Wall Bash]

And before someone tells me it should be easier this way, I agree it should be. But it's not. Why? I wish I knew! [Dont Know]

But I can't seem to side-step the three-step thing -- so how's about we go back to the two-step.

Oh, and I second what kat said, too! [Big Grin]

Posted by Godric (Member # 4587) on :

We wants it! Oh yes! Yes! We do!

I promise an extra dose of Ralphie love!

[Hmmm... No puppy-dog eyes graemlin. [Grumble]

Ralphie, I agree with Katharina. I think you are big old Ms. Cheater-pants who is acting as a poor role model for newbies like me. Am I to learn from this that I should switch over to my old screen name "E" when my posts near 1000?

Please hand over the goods.

Posted by celia60 (Member # 2039) on :

don't do it if you don't want to, sweetie. i've only given my own arbitrary post counts recognition because the dreaded baron forces me to.

of course, now that you've drawn all our attention to it, we'll all be waiting.

feyd, darling, some day. [Smile]

Posted by Ela (Member # 1365) on :

Ralphie, I have to say, I share your uncertainty about doing a landmark post. Haven't done one yet. Don't know if I ever will. But I would certainly read yours, if it materializes. [Smile]

Hugs.

**Ela**

Posted by Toni (Member # 5620) on :

celia - Yeah, I'm probably committed now. That's okay. Deep down inside I really do want to do something, I'm just undecided as to what.

And this isn't cheating, you goobers. Moose and others do this all the time. [Razz]

Posted by katharina (Member # 827) on :

I know. I'm just having the same problem as rivka - I honestly don't recognize your username as you, and I am deeply interested in your landmark post.

I haven't been able to pressure Ralphie into anything since the Noodle Incident of '98. She'll do her own thing, as always. [Razz]

I suppose I didn't make the accusation quite enough over the top. Silly all-caps - you have failed me! This I can never forgive!

I agree with kat and rivka. It's fine for GreNME/gsmaq/sakeriver/real life/etc but this ain't one of those places.

Posted by mackillian (Member # 586) on :

*kicks saxon*

Posted by celia60 (Member # 2039) on :

and saxon is a goober. a big, gooey goober.

Be kind to those for whom is a comfort.
