Congratulations on Rank Advancement!

[jeriddian]

Well, we had it in on the old forum. I think tradition demands we continue it.

Congratulations to Mike_Industries on his four bronze stars!:D:biggergrin:

That was one of the fastest 100 poster tuns I've ever seen, although I'll bet the honored elders and elder exalted members have probably seen faster.:P

[Mike_Industries]

I think thats the fastest I have ever reached 100 too...

Thanks! I hope to get up in the thousands before the year is up... and no Spaming either. You guys sure do keep me entertained. Here's to the next 100 in 6 days and many more!

With the KP finale coming up, that's a serious possibility... :cool:

Well thank you! I want it to be a possibility and I want to become a more established member here... I like giving back to the communities I'm part of. (though I do blame most of my post count thanks to cpneb, Thanks buddy!)

[Cloud23465]

Way to go

I'd probably would of been in the 1000 range by now but the way things went in the other fourms... I kinda got discouraged from posting so... yeah

[Mike_Industries]

You know, I don't think I did too bad seeing I had to start from 0... And getting to talk to you guys has been a (Wade) load of fun. Once again I thank everyone who was behind the creation of GJA.

EDIT:

Wow, I just noticed on the GJA Index, I'm like the last post in GD, AD, and KP....wow. I'm that bad.

[campy]

Congratulations to Mike_Industries on his promotion! You've proven yourself one of the most, er, industrious posters in the brief history of the Global Justice Alliance. Keep it up! :D

[cpneb]

Yeah, what's new: blame the 'nebster for everything from your post count to global warming. I just think you've been pre-occupied with a certain redhead (and, I don't mean KP...yea, I;m still jellin...a bit).

I said most, not all of my posts nebster. Besides, is it that bad if I blame you? I think you would be happy knowing you once again helped me out a little bit.

Hey, MI:

harassment is a requirement for us old guys, especially when they have young 'mentees' with gorgeous BFGFs: you should see how much harassment I give to the Ron-ster.

btw, doing this standing after Shego's last 'shot.' Plasma burns sting...seriously. :scared: :thumbdown:

That should teach you to never call Shego easy... I'm startin to think that maybe you secretly want my BFGF... But you don't, right Mr. Jellin?

[jeriddian]

Let's stay on topic, guys. If you want to continue this, it belongs in another thread.:)

[cpneb]

sorry, jeriddian: Mike and I will be good; well as good as 19 and 51 year olds can be....

[kyojikasshu]

I think thats the fastest I have ever reached 100 too...

Thanks! I hope to get up in the thousands before the year is up... and no Spaming either. You guys sure do keep me entertained. Here's to the next 100 in 6 days and many more!

Well, I did manage to make about 80 posts in one night once... but that was many years ago, on another board that has long since vanished.

What was really impressive, though, was that I made every single post count! Even the ones in the spammy party thread!

These days, I don't worry about racking up posts for the sake of racking up posts or advancement... although, at my current pace, it won't be long before I get that second silver star!


In any case, congratulations, Mike Industries, on your milestone!

[TransWarpDrive]

Yes, congrats on your advancement, Mike!
And, like jeriddian said, watch that you don't go 'way off-topic when you post like you did this morning. If you feel the need to start a new thread, by all means do so.
(As the moderator for the General Discussion forum, I feel I had to add my admonition to jeriddian's. By all means, feel free to post as much as you like; just try not to stray off-topic so much.)

[campy]

Congratulations to Fireand'chutes77 for breaking the 7000 post barrier! And they said it couldn't be done ... puh-shaw! :D


Okay, so nobody actually said that ... :D

Oh yea! well I'm gonna pass you:P Just kidding. Way to go though, I'm just trying to get to my first 1000 and you already beat me by 7x's already.

[campy]

Congratulations to lunchmeat who made his 2000th post yesterday and moved into the ranks of the Exalted Members without anyone noticing. :D

[lunchmeat]

Thanks, it's all part of my stealth program.

[Monstrorrendinformingens]

Well, Campy found you. Now you'll have to show how your dodging works since I'm aiming a deadly load of [B]congratulations[B] at you!:mad:

:harhar:

[Cloud23465]

Thanks, it's all part of my stealth program.

Flying in low under the radar eh? Seems to work good. Alot of people have been hitting all time high numbers since we got here. Lets keep it up.:thumbup:

[lunchmeat]

And to think that I felt that there would be no civilian application deriving from all those years of strike planning.....:)

[Monstrorrendinformingens]

Well, everyone knows how important it is to fly low. It's my life motto. Take it lower and you'll sleep under your bed and place even that in the deepest cellar.:P;)

[Mike_Industries]

I thought I would say Congrats to my buddy cpneb for reaching 100 posts. Hopefully he doesn't turn out like me... lol :biggergrin:

Seriously, congrats nebster!

[kyojikasshu]

Ah, yes... the fourth bronze star. I remember those days...

... kinda sorta.

Congratulations on becoming part of the establishment, cpneb!

[jeriddian]

I add my congratualtions to the great, the one and only, the King of Joss Fan Fic, the amazing NEBSTER!!! :P:laugh::laugh:

[TransWarpDrive]

Yes, congrats, cpneb, on reaching 100 posts! Keep 'em coming! :)

[Monstrorrendinformingens]

Great! Keep it up, double your post rate and enjoy the time!
:P:)

Congratulations, cpneb!

[campy]

Congratulations on your 100th post, cpneb! Let's have another 100 even faster! Might as well go for the whole set of bronze stars.

[Cloud23465]

Ah ha! Caught you red handed Rob! You got your second silver start and broke into the 1000 range. Congrats.:thumbup:

[Monstrorrendinformingens]

Rob, Rob, Rob, how long has that been?
Congrats!

[campy]

Congratulations, Rob! Welcome to the Elite! Too bad the special lunch table was discontinued last week ...

[Monstrorrendinformingens]

Man, I arrived nearly last week.
I want that lunch table!


Get it?

[TransWarpDrive]

Congratulations on reaching Elite status, Rob! :):D

[jeriddian]

Yes, many congrats on becoming one of the Elite!:biggergrin:

[kyojikasshu]

Thank you, thank you!

It only took me nearly two years to get to this point... (just over 21 months, to be more precise)

[Not The CrimpMaster]

Congrats! :)

[cpneb]

Thanks for the warm congrats, everybody. Balancing 2 forums is a hoot, and add to that the writing and that nasty thing called 'real world' keeps getting in the way on occasions.

Stop over on ff and read some of the 'neb's works, if you haven't yet. There's angst, humor, angst, drama, and angst (I like angst: welcome to the real world). I'm writing for those underrepresented, those considered the outcasts, or not even noticed: Wade, Joss, Will Du, Sarah Best (the gitl in blue), Pandaroo...a little different vision of the KPverse in the JadeKimVerse and the DefineHellverse.

[GoTeamGirl]

Congrats Rob and cpneb!

[jeriddian]

Let us congratulate Cloud23465 on achieving his second silver star and reaching Elite Status!:alumnus:

[campy]

Congratulations Cloud23465! :D

[Not The CrimpMaster]

Congrats, Cloud! :)

[Cloud23465]

Cloud, you're now an Elite!
Way to go! Take a bow, my friend! :D:D

[Cloud23465]

(The GJA forum gives Cloud23465 a standing ovation)

Thanks again. To be honest though... I haven't been paying attention to my count and I was actually shocked to see that i'd past a 1,000 Post already... time flys and all that :laugh:

[kyojikasshu]

Yes, yes, congratulations! I would've done it sooner if I hadn't been offline the past few days....

[lunchmeat]

Cloud, you're now an Elite!

(The GJA forum gives Cloud23465 a standing ovation)

Hmmm, given time you could become the Arbitor....

[Mike_Industries]

Uh yeah, I hope this isn't being selfish...

I just noticed I'm a senior member now....

I feel old... or back in high school... Can't decide...

Hooray!

[Cloud23465]

You should be happy... I know it took me a long time at the old fourms to reach that rank... I was proud when I did.:thumbup:

BTW: Contrags on making it as far as you have.

[TransWarpDrive]

Uh yeah, I hope this isn't being selfish...

I just noticed I'm a senior member now....

Go with "back in high school." You'll feel younger. ;) :laugh:
Anyway, congrats on reaching Senior rank! Keep posting and you'll climb ever higher! :D

[campy]

Congratulations on becoming a Senior, Mike_Industries! :D

[kyojikasshu]

Yes, congratulations, MI!

[Mike_Industries]

Yes, congratulations, MI!

Yes, Congratulations Michigan!!!!

(Why are we Congratulating MI?)

Sorry bout that, thanks everybody! And to any one else who may say congrats, Thanks!

[Mike_Industries]

cpneb has reached senior status as of today!

Congrats big bro!

[jeriddian]

Congrats to you, nebster!:)

[kyojikasshu]

Yes, congratulations, MI!

(Why are we Congratulating MI?)

Sorry bout that, thanks everybody! And to any one else who may say congrats, Thanks!

M.I. There. Happy now?

:laugh:

And, yes, congrats to neb on reaching senior status!

[jeriddian]

My congratulations to you all and the entire GJA for reaching 5000 posts. Not bad for a two and half month old forum!:D:biggergrin:

[Mike_Industries]

5000 posts?

Holy crap... have I been spamming again? Sorry... :biggergrin:

Congrats GJA!

[TransWarpDrive]

:D We've reached 5000 posts already?
Boo-yah!
We're established, baby! This forum is here to STAY!
:D:D

[jeriddian]

Yep! That's 1000 posts in only 14 days. :D

B-o-o-y-----*** oh right. You already did the Boo-Yah thing....:innocent:

[TransWarpDrive]

[campy]

Congratulations, cpneb! Way to show the young'uns how we seasoned citizens get it done! :D

[Ace Ian Combat]

5000 posts?! Wow, we really get it done. Proof that K.P. is a great show. Now if I can only get to 2000 for myself I'm golden. :laugh: 'Course, it doesn't matter as much now, but it's become a point of pride.

[kyojikasshu]

Whoo-hoo! And with a very enthusiastic extra "hoo"! We've shot past 5,000 posts!


Meanwhile, there have been zero posts in the last ten days at the old place from whence we came, and I find it somewhat amusing that this is the last line that's been posted to date:
I think it's downhill from here.

Granted, I really don't want to play Travis Johnson to (that guy)'s Trent Green, taunting while he's down, but I just find that interesting that that actually is the last post to date.

[Cloud23465]

It seems like only yesterday we were talking about hitting 4,000 post and here we are at 5000 now? Wow :blink:

[kyojikasshu]

Well, we'll be at 6,000 posts soon enough.


I had not noticed that the other place had been shut down like that... mainly because I haven't actually logged in over there since making the transition a couple of months ago.

Thanks guys. I kinda dampened off over at ARA, so I was eager to start working my way up the post count ladder again. :laugh: And now I have something to show for it.

[campy]

Thanks guys. I kinda dampened off over at ARA,BTDT. I was disappointed for weeks when I realized that all my work toward my fourth silver star was for nothing—until GJA started up. :D

BTDT? I'm afraid I don't know what that means. :blush: Yeah, I was glad we were able to transfer over posts count. Made for some interestings posts per day - mine still says 24 posts per day. :laugh: And I remember F&C'77 saying something like 3045 posts per day. :eek: :surprised:

[campy]

BTDT? I'm afraid I don't know what that means. Been There, Done That. :D Drakken said it in ... I forget which episode.

EDIT: It was "Mentor of our Discontent."

[Cloud23465]

(BTDT) = Been there, done that. Yeah you've got a long way to go to catch up to F&C77'....

Edit 1: LOL... Campy seems to always be one step faster then me. BTW the episode was The Mentor of Our Discontent where Drakken said that.

Edit 2: Seems you already figured out the answer to what episode it was... i'm going to quit while i'm behind. :laugh:

[Ace Ian Combat]

Ah, no wonder I didn't remember it. Not a favorite episode of mine. I only enjoyed it because Lucre annoyed Drakken and we got to see Shego in a bathing suit and a very nice dress. I spent the first half of the episode thinking Artie was a girl until they got to the pool scene. :laugh:

I've altered my joining date on my profile to reflect the date I joined ARA. But only an admin can do this. If you like, let me know the original date you joined ARA and I can put that in your profile from my control section. That would reflect your activity correctly on a daily basis.:)

I joined ARA April 3, 2006 (Wow, it doesn't feel like it was so long ago).

Erm, no, it was my mom's idea. They didn't have anywhere else to put me and refused to leave me in the class room with the teacher while she ate lunch, not that any of my teachers would have minded. I'm the perfect little angel at school. :innocent:

Yeah... Though this was a field trip for the gifted class, so about 20-30 of the "good/smart" kids got busted. The teacher who gave me the detention hated me for some unknown reason, as I wasn't in any of her classes.

I had a teacher at my school hate me for some unknown reason too. She taught a couple of grades below mine. She tried to get me in trouble when Lupe and me would get into scuffles. At least three times she tried to suspend me, and my current teacher would come to our rescue. She was always flirting with my dad when she saw him too, always claiming she thought he was someone else. :sick:

Ace, one of my BFFs in college was consistent about destroying the curve in Multivariate Calculus and Differential Equations: people would walk out after receiving their test scores, bemoaning their 60s-80s.

Question: C.E., what did you make?

(C.E., softly and shyly) 98 (followed by screams from all around her).

The other students' depression was the fact that she was taking the class for fun: she was a pre-med major, nailing everything in her major all of her undergraduate career.

She found her true love in one of her classes, and they're both doctors and still married, wiht kids, after over 25 years. I still think he's a lucky duck: I still think of C.E. fondly, even after all these years...my unrelated identical twin sister, because we could (and often did) complete each other's sentences and enjoyed each others company a great deal.

Well, that sounds like me; I have three science classes I'm taking this year, purely for fun, and I have A+ in two, with a 98 in the third.

I remember one of my friends from Pre-K that I have since cut some ties with; we're still friends, just not the best of friends like we were. We would tell everyone we were twin brother and sister since I always wanted a twin brother.

It used to be that way here in the U.S. - 18 for beer and wine; 21 for hard liquor - until the early 1980's. Then they changed the law so you have to be 21 to buy any alcoholic beverages. I remember hearing a lot of 18-year-olds griping about the change when it occurred. I wasn't bothered by the new law, because I was already over 21 when it went into effect.

Then they lowered the age here for a while, until MADD got pretty much everyone to raise it to 21. :alumnus:

You know, I think you're right. State law in both Illinois and Wisconsin divided it into the "Beer & wine at 18; hard liquor at 21" distinctions in the 70's (I know that for a fact, since a 14-year-old I met on Scout camp staff in 1975 only befriended other staff members who could drive him into town on his days off and buy beer & wine for him. Since I was under 18 myself and had no driver's license, the kid snubbed my attempts at friendship). The Illinois state legislature changed the law to 21 for all alcohol in the early 80's with great fanfare; and I imagine Wisconsin did so at the same time, or shortly afterward.

[lunchmeat]

The 21 thing was kind of funny, I'd been overseas at 18 and there were no restrictions there, the age was 18 for everything in Hawaii where we spent some time. Got back to CONUS and the age had gone down to 18 pretty much everywhere but California, which is kind of funny for a place that's always touting how liberal it is. Kind of made turning 21 a non-event, though.

My biggest gripe with changing the age back to 21 is the way it was done. If it had been subjected to a vote and the consensus was 21, then fine. MADD, however pulled a backdoor thing by getting Transportation to change the wording in the highway funding regs.

Yes, they "twisted a few arms," so to speak, by doing it that way. As it was, MADD had an ally in the White House at the time; the proposed change in liquor laws was in keeping with President Reagan's "Just Say No" campaign (even though that dealt primarily with drugs).

[campy]

If only MADD had left well enough alone, the 21-year-olds who partied at the local nudie bar before crashing their SUV into my house might have got that out of their systems years before.

Or then again, the accident might have happened 3 years earlier. Who knows? :hmm:

[lunchmeat]

Didn't know they still had nudie bars in Mass. Part of the problem with booze here, is that there's too much of a mystique about it, I suspect that things like the 21 year age limit fuel it. That and things like those "Girls Gone Stupid" videos with relayed encouragements to get drunk and be somebody (preferrebly somebody else, somewhere else, I've had enough people barf on my shoes to adequatly cover that particular checklist item, thanks). The general message that comes out is that rather than to savor the stuff, or enjoy the relief on a hot day, the whole point is to get trashed as quickly as possible. While I've gotten beyond cheerful a couple of times the aftermath is not worth the trip anymore (of course it may be that I just don't spring back as quickly as I did in days of old). Most places where they don't make as big a deal out of alcohol seem to have much less of a problem with it. I frequently speculate on the influence of puritanism we suffered over here having a hand in this (and many other strange behaviors).

[jeriddian]

I think they still have nudie bars in most places. God knows I played enough of them as a musician in my younger days....*blah*

As to making a big deal out of the alcohol, you have a very good point, Lunchmeat. Common Sense often has to be applied gently with a velvet glove. Trying to squeeze it hard into people with an iron fist will find many of them slipping through between the fingers.

They still had some of those in the '70's back in the boondocks of West Texas and New Mexico. There weren't that many. For some reason those bar owners thought they could bring in a better crowd with both nude girls and live music. Bad idea all around, I thought.

Why? They're all alcoholic; they can both get you hammered and cause you to swerve into the other lane. Plus, people are more likely to chug beer.

(I have the nagging feeling that I've bought into whatever The Establishment is spouting. Hard.)

As for the 21 thing, one of my cousins turns 21 tomorrow. They visited us on the 30th, and we all went out to a annual family gathering in Roanoke yesterday and today. His parents wouldn't let him have any alc at the dinner we went to on the 31st, but at the family party, with "freedom" less than 12 hours away, they relented/bowed to the inevitable. Got me thinking about the same thing LM had:

Up through the teen years, the omnipresent "they" are saying, "No... No... Nope... can't have any... nope... no... no..." while at the same time hyping alcohol up to something beyond a liquid made with barley and hops and ethanol combined through a fermentation process that causes a chemical reaction in the brain (kinda makes the romance go poof, huh), and then, ding, at the stroke of midnight on your 21st year - you feel no different physically than when you were 20 a few minutes before - after years of (supposedly) complete abstention and prohibition and zero experience, they say, Okey-dokey, HAVE AT IT, KIDDIES!

Yes... ...I admit it 'chutes. I was somewhat of a rock and roll headbanger in my younger days. It took a few years to get my head on straight. but I never did the drug thing or drank too much. I always made it a point of pride not to drink more than two Bloody Mary's a night because I was working a job, not enjoying myself at these bars. That's the way I looked at it.

The amount of alcohol in beer and wine is smaller than that found in the "hard" liquor. I'm not sure exactly how much is found in beer or wine; I do know that the "proof" number found on the label of a liquor bottle is an indicator of how much alcohol it contains. Just take the proof number and divide by two - the resulting number is the percentage of alcohol by volume. Thus, an 80-proof whiskey contains 40% alcohol, while a 101-proof bourbon is 50.5%.
I guess when the old liquor laws were first written, our state legislators felt 18-year-olds could handle beer and wine due to their lower alcoholic content. However, given the number of traffic deaths attributed to drunk driving among young people, this has proven not to be the case.

[lunchmeat]

A long, long time ago in a galaxy far, far away. Some states had a tiered system like the one described, to the point where they had different alcohol proofs availble for purchase once one hit 18. The older you got the stronger the stuff you were permitted to buy. I think the theory was kind of like training wheels: as one learned the effects of the stuff, a higher proof was permitted. If you've ever heard the terms "3 point or near" beer, that's where it came from. At the lower proofs, more time was spent going to the restroom than actually drinking the stuff.

But then it would look like you were riffing off of a certain ultraviolent video game series...

Thank you again to Sir Sebastian, & Ace Ian Combat for getting my moniker correct! :P:laugh:

... wow, I can't believe I missed that. The mind, it plays tricks... makes you see what you expect to see sometimes...

Anyway, allow me to make amends, and offer my congratulations correctly, GhostWhiter! :laugh:Though I wasn't looking for you to make amends, thank you for the second post of congratulations. I really thought folks would just go, "Oh! I see--it's GhostWhiter." and mentally file that fact away for future reference (squeaky wheel gets the grease and all that...). I have definitely seen what I expected instead of what was really written on more than a few occasions (like the 'oopsies' that campy PM'ed me about in my first posted story), so I was not tying to put on any holier-than-thou attitude. Please accept my apologies if I came across that way. :o

Quite frankly, I'm a tad freaked that this dinky little issue has dominated the thread for a page or two. :surprised:

Hey, my mom's always trying to tell people my moniker is Ace In Kombat. I have been thinking about calling stuff 'Kombat Kreations' though.I think that there is an unwritten law that parents have a license to find creative ways to embarrass their children. Unfortunately, it does not get any better even when you reach my age. I just count my blessings that I still get to trade those hide-my-eyes-behind-my-hand moments for the hugs at the end of extended family gatherings, ;) though maybe not at the moment of embarrassment. :rolleyes:

Too bad about the lunch budget ...
Lunch budget? :blink:Seniors don't have their special table any more. You have to eat the mystery meat like everyone else now.

(A little "Ill Suited" reference. I guess if I have to explain it, it wasn't funny. :ohwell:)

EDIT: Actually, it's a "Trading Faces" reference. Episode titles confuse me sometimes.
