That's what I get for missing snrub. Can't believe I left out "greenturd" - he is quickly climbing my "least favorite ACC coaches" ladder.

No. Dadgummit is my least favorite. That's the way it HAS to be.

So, what are your plans for #1000?

Nothing yet. Guess I set the bar with the 900th post. I'll have to think about it. I did mention Wallace Stevens' "Thirteen Ways of Looking at a Blackbird" earlier; maybe I can come up with "Thirteen Ways of Looking at the LTE".

I have to take out the future ram eater.

Does PETA know about this?

[ArkieDukie]

Why, yes, we are heading out with some friends in about 5 minutes, so I'll catch up later...

Supper, at this hour? It's only 4:40!

See, that's the beauty of this setup: those of us who aren't in the Eastern time zone can keep things moving for you.

Remember to have a gem of a 1,000th post. I think I have my next milestone figured out.

Wow. Only 49 posts away! Better think fast!

This bums me out. I have asthma and the last time I came down with bronchitis, I swear I had a faster recovery than normal because of Mucinex.

Don't be bummed. He said the (gross warning) mucus needs to be loosened so you can expel it, and for that it needs to be, well, moist. That won't happen if you're dehydrated or dried out from other medications or the illness itself. (Dried out does not equal mucus free.)

I said he was climbing the ladder - I didn't say he had passed Dadgummit.

I'll echo this. That's why you're supposed to drink lots of liquids when you have a cold. Mucinex is still one of the best medicines out there for chest congestion IMHO.

Congratulations!! Sounds like a wonderful evening!

Ditto!

add a shot of bourbon. I loved to get sick as a kid and get fed hot lemonade, honey and a teaspoon or two of whiskey

My mom did that for us with tea instead of lemonade. I now keep a bottle of bourbon in my cabinet just for that reason, and cooking. The rum and vodka are for drinking.

You're only 13 off. Better think faster.

You got me there! And then there were 12...

Meanwhile, we're getting closer to 9,000 on the LTE.

Actually, I have a bottle of lemoncello in my freezer that I use as my special cough medicine. Except for when I'm taking acetaminophen.

I'm rather fond of my 1000th.

Wasn't that an Agatha Christie novel?

And so we are! We're such a chatty lot...

[ArkieDukie]

I don't know. Not sure I've ever read any Agatha Christie, but it does sound familiar.

[YmoBeThere]

I don't know. Not sure I've ever read any Agatha Christie, but it does sound familiar.

The difficulty with her stuff is that it was sold under different titles at various points in time. There was one called Ten Little Indians or something like that. It was the one where they counted down in the chapter titles I think.

I missed the game today because I had to pick my dad up at the airport. Can someone quickly and concisely (ie without rambling or changing topic- HA!) give me an overview of what happened? I went to the EK Board and was not able to accomplish this... other than G had a great game and Nolan had too many turnovers and Z should've played more.
