Didn't think I could think I could be shocked any more... But

[salin]

NothingShocksMeAnymore... has an amazing 20,000+ posts!

Can't speak for ya'll - but this midwesterner is much more enlightened for the perusal ride!

In the beginning, NSMA was a challenging DU poster... leaving her DU "elders" a little bewildered as to what to do:

http://216.239.57.104/search?q=cache:UdEOEtIQd48J:www.uiowa.edu/~quill-sc/ContestResults/2003%2520WP/04.html++writing+photo&hl=en&ie=UTF-8 (have to click this one)

It was quickly apparent, as a new Duer... that she didn't like to keep her mouth, er, still:



Very quickly it was clear that this was no normal young Duer... she was toiling away to make herself heard and to make the rest of us more informed:



However, it can never be claimed that she "cherry picks" stories:



Ah but those early posts come and go so quickly... soon our NSMA was a full grown poster... not only with serious LBN and GD posts... but a growing following in the lounge... fantasizing about her... and a little engine power (and the hood that covers it) that just might look something like this:



All that said... Congrats Teena! Keep those posts rolling!

20,000 post popcorn

( to the tune of TO ALL THE GIRLS I'VE LOVED BEFORE)

To all the posts I've made before
that everyone one else thought a bore
I hope they're doing well
somewhere in cyber hell
to all the posts I've made before

to all my evil Du'er friends
on whom democracy depends
we must win in 04
and stop this oil war
to all my evil Du'er friends


The GD threads are always flowing
I cannot help but click
with posts that keep the flames a glowing
to them i somehow stick


To all the posts I couldn't make
to folks with whom a rule I'd break
you all can kiss my back
yes this is your personal attack
for all the posts I couldn't make :evilgrin:

To all the folks that flirt with me
and folks that shoot the dirt with me
you all could do me good
on my car's little hood :evilgrin:
to all the folks that flirt with me

To all (well most) Du'ers everywhere
without whom, life i could not bear
I think you're all the shits
without you I'd have fits
to most Du'ers everyWHERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


SMOOCHIE folks

and hugs to Salin for working way too hard on this thread! :D

43. Congrats NSMA

As a relatively new DU'er who literally soaked up every bit of DU she could get for almost a year before joining up and participating, I have long been an admirer of your willingness to speak passionately about what you beleive in and for the principles you stand by. And you have a wonderful sense of humor and wit besides!

May your next 20K be as productive.

With much admiration,
Linda (newbie)
