My understanding is that in games of dice, you can call out "Boxcars!" when you roll a double six. I've just now "rolled" a very big double six of my own. On the one hand, my total number of Addventure episodes should soon hit the 2800 mark, making me the sixth most prolific Addventurer. On the other hand, I've just now passed Sadistyk's post count, making me the sixth most prolific Forum contributor.
This is of course a fleeting glory. At least two other Addventurers, young and full of semen yet to be spurted, will no doubt overtake me in just a couple of months, dumping me down to #7 and then #8. I may eventually overtake MunchWolf, hitting #5 -- but in fact I greatly look forward to Shara and gOOber someday overtaking me, bringing me back down to #6 and then #7.
So this brief moment is about as good as it will ever get for me. It's a weird place to be. When I first registered here, I thought Prophet Tenebrae had a shot at a double statistic like this, but he seems to have bowed out. It is flatly surreal to me that I have at long last gone past Sadistyk, or even that I might before Christmas go past MunchWolf. Back in 2003 such feats seemed Herculean, but I guess some statistics are earned by the simple art of sticking around. In any case, I will always recall July 2011 as that one brief moment that I rolled boxcars. I hope to be at least as successful some day in other, even larger pursuits.
