Milestone Post I love the Asylum!

My God, I've posted 999 times.
My impression is that, at this point, I am supposed to make a "milestone post". I actually kind of like that tradition--it's a semi-organized way for each of us to assess our progress, and dis$%^EA!!!!!!@#@@@#@@

POST PRE-EMPTED DUE TO POMPOUS PREFACE. TRY AGAIN.

Er...right.
I love all of you, and I love this place.
There are many of you who mean a great deal to me, for a number of reasons. Still, I'd like to especially thank:
CHiPsJr, for inflicting me on all of you
Flocat, for not laughing (out loud, anyway) at me
Oxsan and SimpleSimon, for giving me a window into their worlds, which are so much richer and more seasoned than my own so far
Redguard, for inspiration
Kayla, for her kindness to me
cw, for the same and for some very funny dreams
Paint, wonderaz, MstrG, Dingle, and all the other admins and coders for keeping this place alive.

There are many others among you who have a place in my heart, and I will be happy to tell you exactly why if you ask, but the whole list would be way too long for this post.

Finally, this post is dedicated to everyone with whom I have had an argument here. It is from you that I learn most, and for that I thank you.

I honestly don't know very much about you, Caffeine. Thus, I'd say you're probably in the left ventricle, as it's the largest part.
Seriously...from what little I know of you, I can admire your spirit. Your pictures in IOD--both the photos and your digital artwork--speak to me of someone who has a strong streak of mischief, but rarely malicious intent. My guess is that you are actually a person with a good deal of compassion, and that is in my opinion one of the most valuable traits. I could be totally wrong--this is based on almost nothing--but it's my best guess. I hope that I someday know you well enough to know if I'm right or wrong.

He could have done that without turning up at all.

I don't remember having all that many arguments with you, actually...thus, it's hard for me to say what I've learned from you in that context. Sorry.
Looking back, I found some of your posts in the gay marriage debate interesting, although I tend to disagree with your viewpoint. It's when we disagree that real learning can happen.

Awwww. How could you stand up Nute? Asshead.

I was drunk when I hit 999. And 1000 for that matter. No biggie. Celebrate when you get to 5000. I'll feel cool at 5000.

Thumbs up

Ol' Tal'k, my good buddy. Me 'n' Fred were deeply touched that ya wanted t'dedicate yer milestone post t'us, but we felt it'd be a great service to th'asylumnation creed that, instead, y'serve yer kudos up t'our more needy members. From th'bottom o' our hearts, we thanks ya fer honorin' our wishes 'n' respectin' th'creed.

In light o' yer generous gesture t'those less fortunate, me 'n' Fred hereby dedicate this, my 6892nd post, t'yer child's college education fund.

I know, I know. On the other hand, not only is it true that it's th'thought that counts, but if'n me and/or Fred should ever git famous, this post'll prob'ly be worth a helluva lotta money. So, that's sumpin' t'think about.

Amen.

I < 3 Tal. Happy 1K.

Kalidasa:
Listen to the Exhortation of the Dawn!
Look to this Day!
For it is Life, the very Life of Life.
In its brief course lie all the
Verities and Realities of your Existence.
The Bliss of Growth,
The Glory of Action,
The Splendor of Beauty;
For Yesterday is but a Dream,
And To-morrow is only a Vision;
But To-day well lived makes
Every Yesterday a Dream of Happiness,
And every Tomorrow a Vision of Hope.
Look well therefore to this Day!
Such is the Salutation of the Dawn!
