oh,
on a side note,
I got an email with a tracking number for my SFNO LE knives.
They are on their way...
YaHooooooo

I missed out on that, I heard anything after the first one got a huge discount!

Darn- if I knew I got a HUGE discount I would have bought MANY . Just kidding- but they are beautiful.

It was a pretty good discount for the 2nd one...
I think 40 bucks or so...

this is me talking to myself. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />

GIRLS <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />, sport bikes, military, guns, knives, sharp-pointy things made of busse-kin steel ; ill gladly talk about any of the above and provide pics in many cases <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

High Resolution if you please...
(just so long as they aint of my ole lady!)

fug- LMAO~~!!!! its all fun and games until its YOUR wife on the internet, right!!! HAHAHAHAHA! wow thats funny!

well reconseed...
I just thought I'd let you know that MANY have done what banana-clip just did to get their post count up.
Tom has probably done, as have many other JYD's.

for some reason it may bug you...
but it's just a post count.
If someone wants a higher post count, than you shouldn't hold anything against them for it.
You said yourself it's not indicative of anything, and doesn't earn you anything...
so why would you care?

you seem to have a certain negativity about people posting in this thread to try and get their post count up (you call it foolish nonsensical) and continue to post in this thread... (often making cynical and childish comments)

There is no need for it imo.

EMF - you are right, on a certain level, as i implied, it is meaningless, however, it just seems that some of the fellas who have been here forever, have gotten a post count that high by part of contributing to threads in ways other that one or two worded posts... IDK, perhaps you are right, it shouldnt bother me. I just think that post count is indicative, in some ways, of a person's longevity here. for example, it took me over a year to get 1000 posts. i didnt rush to get there. JYD status is something that you get over time, i would posture. i KNOW Jeff, Vic, mac, vance, bld, etc, did get there by frivilous postings of one-lettered words. oh well, its not a big deal i guess. sorry i brought it up.

happy posting to all DAWGS!

and emf - childish comments? i would say that repeat postings (4-5) in a row of 1 or 2 lettered posts is "childish." not voicing an opinion on the matter. if it differs from yours, so be it. but for you to say its childish - i think thats "nonsensical" on your part.

I am trying to maintain the Christmas spirit, so will suggest that criticism of fellow Dogs posting to build up their count be dropped. As long as the rules are followed there is nothing wrong with it. Back when the Yard was new, I made JYD in 20 days (I think)`, mainly by conversing with Gravelface, Paul the Brit, and Andy. Of course, there was an unofficial race on to make JYD #1. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> I was so excited that I posted at all times of day and night. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/doh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

If I'd known how big a deal being JYD #1 would have ended up, I might have beat ya to it. After all, I have TWICE the dialup speed YOU do. Hehehe <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

I guess that just proves that I had to work for it Andy! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
