The closing door

dr. t, ojeffso did just enter the Hall, although with little fanfare. That's the way he wanted it, but you MUST give him his due!

jb

Way to go OJEFFSO.
And Doc,
Which king gave the royal order?

I better get BUSY!!!! Holy Garbanzo Beans!

KoH,

If it wasn't you, it must have been Elvis. He's pretty full of himself this time of year, due to all the press coverage of the annual Graceland vigil.

Darned guy. It's not bad enough that he refuses to leave the building. Now, he's dictating "Millenium Club" membership policies!

Ah.....just as well..I may make 1k this time next year...Oh..wait, maybe I can start a poll and post an on-going tabulation! Let's see, we've done "what state are you from", "how old are you", "how many bottles are in your cellar" and ..oh yes.."what is the varietal composition of your collection", I know...how about level of formal education completed(too personal..?), or, ummm....I know, Coke or Pepsi?
Count me for Pepsi!
Let's see..I'll be at 1,000 by midnight, August 30th..yeah, that's it....August 30th.

I'm actually hooked on that Diet Pepsi Twist stuff. LOVE it in the morning! Just the kickstart I need.

Well this is a drag! I was looking forward to sidling up to Vino Me's bar and ordering a double shot of some really good agave, then browsing Seaq's library for the smutty magazines we all know are there. Shucks! Now I'll have to wait until I'm even older and by then you all will have moved the limbo bar even higher (lower? well - you get my meaning). Classic changing the rules to keep the riff-raff out!

Hey Lilac;
Find your own poll..this post accelerating count is mine (that LCC guy is a genius )...no riding on my coat tails
NOW...
Pepsi (2)
Coke (0)

PE - HA! Thanks for the giggle.

(Just 971 to go.)

Dr. T & KoH,

do I sence elitism rearing its ugly head here?

andreasx
No.
I'm just tired of writing baseball speeches

DrT

...and yet another from the wine slugging state of Joysey nominated into the hall

Many hits, though the last few seasons were what seemed to be an eternity
Took lots of extra bases, the secret of which he learned that at a young age
Many homers, a true slugger, respected for power more than finesse
Lots of wines and runs batted in
Part of that Joysey Murderers Row sic jb,lcc
Somewhat media shy, resulting in prolonged disappearances from the limelight and run ons of many of the same lines, all without capitals

I give you

OOOO.. JEFFFFSSOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Now it makes more sence!

coke, diet coke actually.

Pepsi is, um, bleah

Pinot Envy, That was by far the funniest thing I read today. Thanks.

Now MY turn!
Butter or Margarine??

And of course EVERYONE knows it's MOST cool to enter the 1000th post club simultaneously (well, almost...) with a buddy , right Dr. T, Mishy and (who went in with Mishy again?.... )

I think it was latour67. It's a pity his computer savvy isn't comparable to his wine knowledge. His absence is regretted.

But Dr. T-riffic,
You write the best intros !!
- Vinos Wine bar hasn't even begin to turn a profit, I still haven't been told the secret handshake !
- I'll work on entering the 'bimellenium club' by 01/03 !!
Cheers,
Mishy

Mountain Dew Code Red rules.

Coca Loca.

Coke for me please...

Hmmmm....Put me down for Dr. Pepper.

The wine bar is closing? I was just about to put a help wanted add out for an opening in the California department. One of the employee's left suddenly and unexpectedly.

VM

VM;
Put me down for the opening in CA. Hell, if I can telecommute from Louisville to Atlanta, I can surely handle the cyber-jet lag to the Left Coast.
Consider this my 1,000 post resume and application.

Position Applied For: Wine Geek

Job Description: Select and drink from a wide array of previously unknown and not to be found wines; demand that others do the same on their own dime, and excoriate those who don't share my views.

Previous Experience: None really, I've picked all this up from magazines. Hell, I don't even own a corkscrew!

Favorite Wine: Any wine that tics off Mishy and Vitis, preferably a Malbec.

Favorite Pastime: Covering the labels on my vast collection of Gallo white-label chardonnay w/fake Kistler McCrae Vineyard labels.

Person I Most Admire on this UBB: Keith Scott.

Reason: Any guy who can read thru 66 postings of depricating humor in regards to his life and employment without a single retort is alot more open-minded than we'll ever know.

Things I'll do to make my job successful:

1. Get over the fact that few people read my elongated TN's. That's OK - I don't read yours, either !
2. Find out what happened to latour. Stemor, I'm coming to Memphis real soon and we'll drink our way to the bottom of this .
3. Note to self: Never let DaveMCI volunteer me for anything EVER AGAIN!!!
4. Attend more on-line off-lines - lots of people out there.
5. Try to be more opinionated. If there's one thing I've learned since my 1st post, people here really love a know-it-all!
6. Expense out the damage to Dr. T's house. Sorry about the razor-brimmed hat thing, man...
7. Find a way to get my 'Displayed Name' changed. I'm growing weary of being named after a porta-potty. (What the hell was I thinking? )

In closing:
I hope that my next 1,000 posts are as witty, fact-filled, open-minded, fun, and in the same
'ya just can't put 'em down' fashion, just like the first 1,000 posts. Can I start tomorrow?

BTW - what's the secret handshake?

You have learned well, Grasshopper.

Hey, congrats, Kybo!!

On the number of posts, I mean.

Not on finally coming clean about your name. Well, not really coming clean, I guess but... well, you know what I mean.

Can I nominate kybo for the October TAA?

Hey now.... don't make me write a script that posts something random every minute! I'll surpass Board-O in a little under 42 hours!

Holy crap..... 42 hours even with a post a minute? Ok, I think not... but I still might write that script just to join the club... even though I do already know the secret handshake.

H-H-H-H-EEEEYYYYYYYY!

THAT'S NOT a HAND!

stemor;
1. My decoder ring says that the 'secret handshake' should not, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, be attempted in the Men's Room...Sorry!
2. Nah-ne-nah-ne-nah-nah! Tag-backs not allowed!!

There - how's that for a millenial-plus-one post! Boy, do I feel mature right now!

Kybo,
Congrats. Did you know you can bring a date into the Millenium Room, club, thingy?
That's how I get in. It is so cool. A little stuffy and you can't get a word in edgewise, but that's what makes you all so special. Wines are excellent. Service is snap-to.

Board-O, can't you auction off some of your posts? Ebay, maybe? Some are truly collector items.
I, for one, wish I could pull off Jules' trick.
Kinda like golf...

I heard everyone's favorite website editor gets in for free too!

*wink wink nudge nudge*

Good thinking, Rev.

KEITH! Congratulations!

Revlis- Keith is the bouncer.

Kybo- You're hired. Congrats on 1000.

VM

1. Cream Soda
2. Mountain Dew
