No, I'm not referring to a Fritz Lang movie starring Peter Lorre. Since I call myself Empire, and the most influential one to date has been the Roman one, I'm using the Roman numeral for "thousand" to celebrate my thousandth post.
Oddly, this is not as vaunted a position as it once was. ElvishWizard will be hitting his thousandth any week now, and TheHerald, perhaps any HOUR now. Seems like only a few months ago that hitting a thousand got you on the first page of most prolific posters. Ah well.
A couple of minor miracles. One: I've hit this within my first six months registered here. I'll be very happy for this rate of posting to drop. No longer bumping up Agent Dee's Cool Tomb Raider II Poster thread may help. Second: I've done this before Sadistyk has hit 2000. For one brief historic moment, he and I will have four digit totals beginning with the numeral 1. Blink and you'll miss it.
I continue to feel new, though. I've only just learned that MunchWolf's new avatar "look" owes much to the Mad Hatter from Alice in Wonderland. Here in Pittsburgh, there's a major fan of OZ, not simply the movie but all the original Baum books. Maybe I should get MunchWolf and this guy together. 'Minds me of a joke that I tellabout theology and theoretical physics: "If a Pope and an Antipope were to meet and shake hands, would they explode?"
All for now -- and I'd still like to hear a syllable somehow about Sofia of Sofialand. I don't even care if she's turned born-again and dresses like an Amish Kelly McGillis. I just want to know she's around.
Cheers, all.
