Yikes! When did this happen! 30 post away from 4000
I go to change something in my Profile and I notice I'm less than 30 post away from 4000. Yet another milestone reached, and I almost missed it. Last time I checked I was at 3500.

Ask me anything I guess?

1. In-cred-i-ble.
I'd like to hit 1000 before next winter. I don't really have a question though.

Have enjoyed your art posts, thanks.

3. Thanks djeseru
I'm glad you like my art threads. I post a lot down in the Artists Group, but the groups don't always move as fast as the Lounge does.
I know how hard it is to get a serious discussion about art going so your appreciation means a lot. :)

2. How did you not know
that whenever you are asleep we all post under your name?
B-)

Am I the first one to crack under the pressure?

5. So that's how it happened!
I not even sure if I'm posting under my own name anymore! There seems to have been a lot of identity crisis's around here recently.

8. I've been meaning to ask about that.
Now that one kind of rice is your putative Sec of State does Longgrain have name issues? Or do you regard yourself (as we do) as a counterbalkance of sanity? BTW I like your art posts ,too.

13. I've been kind of curious about the Rice connection myself
"Long Grain" was the nickname of a character from a novel I've been trying to write.

Plus I like rice better than potatos. And I love sushi.

I'm sick of Condi giving rice a bad name. :grr:

14. Well, there's lots of new names for her given name:
Kindasleezy, etc. How about a contest to come up with a new family name for her. I'll start with RICO as in your organized crime legislation.

6. I don't know?
Have the Mods chip in and buy me a cake with my name on it?

Something like "Get a life Longgrain"

10. LOL
I posted a thread once something like "3750 posts away from 10,000 ask me anything" You'd be amazed at how serious everyone thought I was being...

And Welcome to DU bmovies

P.S. I like grade B-movies too.:hi:

12. I've been here since the beginning of October
So really not as much as some people. I'm aware of one frequent Lounge poster who registered at the end of Nov. and already has over 6000 posts. I just spend a few hours every evening posting, a little more on weekends.

I just don't care much for T.V. anymore.

19. This isn't threadjacking, this is just a small detour.
:P


threadjacking is when you have like 40 posts, that have nothing to do with the original post. :D

23. Hi cags
No, I'm just stuck at home, it's winter so I don't get out much. I'm just looking for a way to relax after work...

BTW welcome to the dreaded 700 Club...:evilgrin:

Don't stay too long lest you be tempted to send Pat some money...:7
