What happens at a thousand?

[martin ewen]

Granted 799 members are pimply little no-nads fuelling their nano-brief attention spans with shallow fantasies of joining the circus or mirroring the freedoms of that guy they saw with scars all up his arms juggling phlegm outside the mall.
Who joined up and have long since moved on to more exiting hobbys like porn and methodicly dismantling and re-assembling their fathers weapons in the basement while listening to thrash death metal and waiting till their old enough to enlist without their parents permission because they have a gnawing need to kill and inflict pain whereas once they thought they might like to juggle or master thumbtips but that seems years ago now even though it was only two weeks tuesday ago.

Anyway, what shall we do when we get to a thousand members?
A retrospective
A list of members and their e-mail addresses?
Lets do something!

[Stretch]

Just think of the party we could have!

[Dan Tastik]

Its going to be like Y2K only with the actual disaster. The whole forum will crash and 1000 performers will be stuck having to go out and do gigs instead of pontificating online.

Personally I'm terrified.

[Butterfly Man]

I suggest each one of you send me a dollar.

[Rumpelstiltskin]

The whole Universe will turn into one chihuahua! <img src="graemlins/haha.gif" border="0" alt="[ha ha]" />

[martin ewen]

Rumple.
One thing I might do when we get to 1000 is send you that talking heads album, 'Stop making sense,' because you're such a contrarian you might start to.

[worldwidese]

Let's all send Jim MONEY! I mean really do it! I've been meaning to for over a year, and just never got around to it. If we all sent just $5, it would be a nice lump sum for Jim, and a small thankyou from each of us to reinburse him for giving us this site. Of course, those who wished could send a bigger amount. The bigger the mouth, the bigger the sum perhaps? Rumpel, glad to see you're still in the universe with the rest of us..

[Peter Voice]

Well, there it is, nimber 1000
It would seem Rumple has been sitting at his computer for two and a half days waiting for 999 to come up.

I'm going straight out to get a full "Brazilian Wax" to celebrate. Aint it grand?

[Dan Tastik]

ok so has anyone else found the discrepancy? Go to the profile of...ahem...GoOse and it says member number 1004. then fiddle the address bar to display 1000 rather than 1004 and we find that the actual lucky winner is GirlFlyer from Adelaide Australia.

Im sick and in bed, I've got time to do this.

[Peter Voice]

Sorry Dan, the stats don't include Jim and some of us that were on the boards before they were made public.
You are right though, Rumple doesn't count, as it is a sort of fake registration.
According to my stats, we are only at 992 because some people have multiple registrations, but hey, what the hell, any excuse to celebrate.
Is life really grand?

[Rumpelstiltskin]

Crikey!I think Rumpel is a complete GooOSe & there is nothing i can do about it! <img src="graemlins/haha.gif" border="0" alt="[ha ha]" />

[martin ewen]

Rumple. The only difference between you and a casio wristwatch is that you CAN in fact do something about yourself. (and the watch has far better comic timing.)
Did you create another account for yourself just to make up the thousand you greedy selfish little fuck. Is it not enough that you hog bandwidth with your compulsive disorder that you have to steal the natural suspence and coincidence of the membership growth as well.
I'm just grateful that you in fact fucked up again and are 1004, so the jokes on you but its a bit of a pathetic joke.
It strikes me that if you were given a gun and a horse it would take under 10 minutes for you to shoot it out of garden variety curiousity.
You should take a careful look at how you refer to yourself in the third person when you try to justify yourself rumple.
I think Rumpel is a complete GooOSe & there is nothing i can do about it!
(If rumples the goose, who's the other rumple?)
A common trait of multiple personality disorder is that they usually spent their childhoods sexually abused and locked under the stairs (take note frack)
If you indeed do have another personality could you at least let it post occasionally as it might be entertaining and after all you do have an extra account.
In five minutes I will have transferred my ill considered wrath to, a tree, a passing motorist, a milk carton. (heaven forbid.. a mirror)
I was looking forward to something and you fucked it up so you can just wear it.
(Hi everybody)

The reason the 1000th member is #1004 is because I've deleted a few accounts over the years and the system doesn't re-use numbers. Girlflyer IS #1000.

Then again, Peter Voice is right; there are several multiple memberships... maybe as many as 100. And as Martin pointed out, more than half of the members went through the registration process and then NEVER ONCE POSTED ANYTHING! So that leaves about 300 posting members. (Not to be a stick-in-the-mud, but those are the facts.)

Then again, I know there are probably a thousand other lurkers who have never registered, but come here and read every day. There is a LOT of traffic on the site.

Jim

P.S. I think worldwidese's idea is great.

Oops!It's Screaming Lord Apologize here speaking Oompa Loompah jargon to the Earl Of Statistics who is trying to get his rotweiler to roof puppy waffle into a Munchkin's left ear-hole so then the nitwit cretin can gurgle it back at passing antelopes.Do i make myself quite clear.Gorblimey!What's Lord Literate doing in the scene...while mumbling fragmented piffle half-wit sense?
Golly ol' oopsy....i've lost it & found it at the same time so i should consult my watch to time myself every which way at once!
I'm slowly getting magnatized to a lethargic armadillo that is trying to have it off with an adjacent aardvark which is not all there....so go & munch on a rotten artichoke ya frigggin' pippylongstockings punce because i'm a hardcore pansy that has more estrogen than Mr Puniverse can deal with!Do i make myself quite clear....or should i go & exchange wimples with a dreadful dyslexic Estonian drag-queen who is probably lurking around a hiddeous long forgotten bowl of porridge somewhere in the darkest dungeon of Tallinn?
Anyway i better go & tickle a possum-mouse & exchange multiple moods with an ethereal laughing leprechaun so i can get my Irish up,ya wretched gangly morbid pensive gangster hanging onto rusty rails!
I'm going to now consult my orang-outang for my lucky lottery numbers.
The purple perm brigade will put you in a laughing-stock & let some hopeless born again nincompoops throw mouldy gherkins at you...while Hilary the hippopotamus tries to savour the package in your nappy.
Toodleloo you complete champion!Signing off a.s.a.p as i have to attend to my equestrian course & hurdle off into another dimension where only fairies are allowed!
Regards to the furious lithop who has no choice but to live the life as a forgotten nun's shadow!

Okay the disaster might not have happened yet, but A disaster movie is in the making.

It begins with Martin and Rumple accidently getting into a lift together. The door shuts before they realise they've made a mistake and then the lift shuts between floors.

then the engineers realise that due to an engineering fault, the closed lift shaft is the only thing holding the building up. The stairs a blocked by a kareoke convention and rumple and martin are trying to get away from each other.

How will they get all those innocent people out. What will happen next....?
