Amen. Great 5,000th main page comment.
Congratulations Michael. I hope your next 5,000 are twice as profitable.
Congratulations, IBers! That’s an Aceload!
♪ Out in the west Texas town of El Paso,
I fell in love with a carwash & grill…♫
Pretty cool Michael.
I’m glad Michael posted the 5000th post, since he’s done most of the work and heavy lifting.
*sends a manly Harley highfive towards Texas*
♪ Breakfast would find me in H&H Carwash,
Bacon would pop and the buffers would whirl…♫
When I was a little kid in Hartford in the 70′s, there was a business off-downtown. Fried chickens and transmissions were their game.
I believe they sold both, and serviced one.
♪Blacker than night was the tar on my bumper,
Wicked and evil the bugs on my grille. …♫
There was a full-service gas station on west Ross ave. in downtown Dallas back in the early 80s, that also served up Chinese food.
“With Fillup You Get Two Eggroll”
They were pretty good.
5000 posts. Holy moly, that’s a lot of silly shit, ain’t it?
Holy moly, that’s a lot of silly shit, ain’t it?
Speak for yourself. My posts were a lot of well-researched silly shit.
ok OKAAAAY. My shit was silly.
That was a really neat video Michael. I grew up watching Bob Phillips do these things, from way back in the early 70s when he did a bit called “4-Country Reporter”, he was with a CBS affiliate in Dallas, KDFW. “4″ was channel 4 on the TV dial, back then Dallas had 3 major network stations and a couple of UHF broadcasters. Hard to believe, back in the days before cable.
He’s been doing these “Texas” stories for 40 years.
My posts were a lot of well-researched silly shit.
Indeed they were.
However, I claim top honors for getting an Instalanche and a link from Protein Wisdom and a link from Wizbang for one post, our best traffic day ever. I really worked on that post for more than ten minutes (The Poverty Brand™).
*smug smile*
Also, Geoff, your posts have never been linked by Japanese porn sites, because you overlooked the traffic potential of Swedish bewbs. I did not make that mistake.
*huge grin*
You need to jazz up the research and graphs.
♪ The mud was deep on my magnesium wheels,
I tried to clean but in in vain, I could tell…♫
Congratulations on post 5000. Pretty sure I lurked for 4500 of them. Maybe more.
I saw the white puff of smoke from the fryer
I felt the heartburn down deep in my chest
(can’t figger out how to make the note thingy)
Me neither RG. I just did copypasta from Mitchell.
I don’t think the Mac OS supports cut and paste.
♪ ♫
Hold down Alt+13 and Alt+14. On my computer, it only works with the number pad, not the numbers on the top row.
♪ ♫ One day a wild young cowboy came in,
Wild and cutting in line.
laughing and milling,
Syrup he was spilling
On lovely Wilhelmina,
The car that I loved. ♪ ♫
♫ Off to my left I see ten mounted cowboys.
Off to my right ride a dozen or more.
Wild thoughts that raced through my mind as I stood there
I wonder who pays for the feed for those nags ♫
Hold down Alt+13 and Alt+14
*Looks in vain for the 13 and 14 keys.
*decides it must be near the ‘Any Key’.
Woot! Congrats Michael !!
I haven’t thought of this one for years, but now that we’re “riffing” on Marty Robbins, here’s one of the funniest things I can remember from the old days at SNL. Or maybe it was just on a TV special. Anyway, Steve Martin & Monkeys:
5,000?! Congratulations to us!
Well, to me mostly, but I let you guys help.
Congrats Yall!
Thank you Joe. Don’t forget the little people, i.e., all the rest of the unimportant slackers here.
