Title: The 10,000th Tank
Post by: The Magic Pudding on March 10, 2012, 12:16:12 PM
It's not that I particularly like Tank but 10,000 has to be worth more than a WOYMT post.  ;)

Dear Tank,

I have stayed up way past my bed-time, so I will likely still be sleeping when you come back and post your 10,000th post. So, congrats!
I GIS "10,000" and this came up, so it is my gift to you:

Warmest regards,

DJ

And this is my 10,000th post, what a perfect synergy! I was wondering what I was going to do with it.

Thank you DJ  ;D

I'm born of a non demonstrative milieu so I'm just going to offer Tank an approving nod.  I'm not sure what the current exchange rate is but one Pudding nod was going for 42.87 fawning gushes last time I checked.

10 000... That's not bad at all for a forum like HAF, where spamming threads with unnecessary chatter isn't really the main activity.

I'd give you an Asmothrall for every post, but they only obey The Asmo.  :-\

Indeed! Second only to a book whore, like me -- I buy them or get them for free, handle them, use them, all but devour them, spend all night with them time and time again, and then leave them stacked on the floor when I'm done with them so I can get it on with my next conquest.
