What does your tag name become with 500 posts?

Do you win a prize?

Yes, you do win a prize. Yes, the red bar starts over. Yes a new bar starts underneath the old one. Yes, tmidgett is to thank for posting so many times and keeping the conversation going when none of us here could have done so.

Tim, make sure that you take a screen shot when you pass the milestone so you can post it so all of these guys can drool over it and be envious.

Maybe we could make you a moderator or something.

Tim,
I've only met you once, but I'd like to say way to go! This is certainly a very prestigious accomplishment.

Hank, Darryl, one day I hope to join you as the John Kruk of this message board (if not but in anatomy).

As in you hope to have one of your testicles removed one day?

I don't think he can do it.
Sorry but that is just how I feel.

guys

i'd like to continue to pretend i'm not reading this

but i can't stand back any longer

i'm so honored to receive this attention

it's great to know that YOU know how tough it is, day in and day out, to be not just a blowhard, but a major-league blowhard. to wake up in the morning, make myself a little tiny cup of illy espresso using my absurdly expensive espresso maker, drive my band's van to work, use my i.d. card to get in the side entrance, sit down at my computer, and--after all that--still have the energy to blow long and hard about whatever the zeitgeist brings my way...well, it's not easy. you all know, even with well fewer posts than i have, that the production of quality prose fit for an internet message board is a taxing, time-consuming process. and if it's hard for YOU, imagine how hard it must be to achieve what i have achieved, in such a relatively short period of time.

it's true, dylan has many posts, probably more than i have done in any single span as long as his tenure here. all i can say is: time is the great leveler. time makes us all equal. in the last few months, i have fought through mild tendinitis in my left hand and what i am convinced is burgeoning carpal tunnel syndrome in my right. look what has happened to vladimir guerrero--who would have thought, a couple years ago, that he'd now be laid up half the time with a bad back? dylan's output is impressive (roger maris), but i hasten to remind you (brady anderson) that it's, at the moment, a flash in the pan relative to (bret boone) what i have achieved. i'm not saying he won't someday reach or even eclipse whatever mark i set, but i am saying that continued output at his current level of voracity is hardly a given.

but i wish him luck, and i wish all of you great success with whatever internet-typing endeavors you undertake. remember to reach for the stars, if not the shift key, and g-d bless you all.

Hammerin' Hank: That was fucking beautiful. I now feel really sorry about those anonymous death threats I sent you. Keep bangin' them out the yard.

I was thinking that in conjunction with Tim Midgett's 500th birthday, we would retire "From Crap to Rank".

This game of beauty, she has to died in my arms tonight like the Crew di Cutting!

the rank, she make-a me sad. i to love her. but then, i say, these, these are my ranking. now you rank what i give to you for to rank. and these people, they tell me "no, tmh, no you are the skunk! we don't touch you ranks! you are to not be existing in our mindings!" so she make-a me sad, because i think these rank, these are maybe ok rankings. but two time and then again three time, the rankings i offer, the people, they are calling me the skunk! so i cry. the rank, she makes me cry. not the joy of the new baby birthing cry, or the wedding of the daughter crying, but like the kick in the penis crying, the slap in the face crying.

but still, the rank, i love her like the woman who is giving the kicking the balls and the slapping the face. now i am to crying at the thought of her going away. the fake italian, i have just come to see the beautiful flower that she is. so sad, so sad.

this faghina midgett! he gonna get the spanking machine 500 times for sure!

also to for me to think the rank to be retired is so sad, for where do I practice my fake italiano??? but the Midge, truly he must be king of the rank! Okay I try to say yea we retire rank! we go out on top! in the business of showing people they say "always to be leaving the people who are in the crowd to be of wanting more!"

I love you rank!!! Ciao!!!
