17000

Two days and couldn't think of anything else to say.

Two days and couldn't think of anything else to say.

You could at least elaborate.

 

[Icebear]

For the last 48 hours I took judicious and introspective reflection on the possibilities afforded by attaining a collective of seventeen thousand posts to say something distinctly profound and moving. However, nothing worthy of such a plethoric milestone scratched the surface of my gray matter and so I was left with nothing more than an empty mirror of the previous 16,999.

Elaborate enough?

Ahhh. I hardly ever look at that. Maybe start thinking for 20K.

How about celebrating with some funny posts?

Congratulations, sir...took you long enough to get there...you've been awfully quiet of late...
shoulda coulda woulda gotten to this mark very early in the summer and been working on 18K!

Welcome back from hibernation. The winter--and basketball season--must be getting close.

While you were gone, I narrowed the gap to under 6,500 posts.

I've got you both in my sights.

Ice--
It's hard to contemplate 17,000 conversations about anything. Congratulations on a real accomplishment.

Start working on number 20,000...I'm thinking a cross between Shakespeare and Dostoevsky should suffice...

 

[Blakeon18]

I would have recommended for your 17G post an abject apology for the
first 16,999.....lol.

Now that was an elaborate way of saying: I found myself with nothing to say! Please, Icebear, do not speak/write/post like that again for another 17000!

 

[BooRadley]

As I pondered reaching 300, I came to be humbled by the company I now keep....Cy Young, Walter Johnson, Grover Cleveland Alexander, Christy Mathewson, Pud Galvin, Warren Spahn, Kid Nichols, Greg Maddux, Tim Keefe, Steve Carlton, John Clarkson, Eddie Plank, Nolan Ryan, Don Sutton, Phil Niekro, Gaylord Perry, Tom Seaver, Charles Radbourn, Mickey Welch, Tom Glavine, Early Wynn, Lefty Grove, Roger Clemens, Randy Johnson.

Of course, I thank all of the little people that have helped me along the way, although I don't remember any of their names.

I'm coming for you Ice....
Big Time Boo

Congratulations
An awesome accomplishment.

 

[BooRadley]

Congratulations
An awesome accomplishment.

I'm on to my next goal now. I have a 2003 Chevy K1500 Silverado with 26,000 on it. At my current pace, if I live to 96, I should see the odometer roll to 100k...

Always thinking BIG
Boo

Let's conservatively assume your average post is 25 words.
That gives you a total word count of 425,000.
Amazon says "Gone with the Wind" has a word count of 423,575. So, by a word count measure, you have written a classic novel.
How your body of work stacks up against Margaret Mitchell's Pulitzer-winning tome is up for debate.
I'll leave that debate up to the many posters who give a damn.
