Approaching a milestone
Very soon, perhaps today or tomorrow, Bike Forums will reach the 10,000-post mark!
Any suggestions for a celebration? Like maybe awarding a nice new bike to each of the top ten posters? A pizza party? A few extra minutes' sleep? What do you think, Joe?

JonR, have you been counting every post since the conception of BikeForums.com? Man, I think you need a break.

OK, I'm a little slow sometimes. JonR, I just remembered that Joe has the post count on the main page. I really need to pay closer attention sometimes...OUCH!!!...That's the last time I try to post while using the stapler....frickin' finger.

10,000 "bottles of beer on the wall" sung ad nauseum
10,000 revolutions of our tires...quick somebody get a calculator, How far would that be???
10,000 beers... We'd have to pitch in on that one!

It is way too obvious that I have nothing to do with my time.

I can definitely tell the difference in the frequency of postings. I can't even keep up. Every time I finish answering a thread a new one appears. Keeping up with all the posts in here is such hard work.

As for "nothing to do with my time"... Cycling is HIGH priority stuff, so it was a worthy cause to do the calculations. Thanks!

Your right, it probably wouldn't go over very well during an interview.

OK, I know it's 4:31 AM Central Time here in the (non-snowy) Midwest US, but surely I'm not the only member that enjoys the glorious benefit of insomnia!
Aw--you're probably all scrubbing your derailleurs with toothbrushes, getting ready for weekend rides, right?
Right?
Come on! Only twelve posts to go till number 10,000!
If I wasn't such a scrupulous, kind, honest, above-board, restrained person, I'd post twelve myself, right now.
I understand Joe has a great surprise for whoever posts no. 10,000--then again, I'm probably wrong.
