Way WAY OT: look what my bro in law had made for me.

Good stuff Mr PatJew. Congrats on having such a good bro in law.

Ian is your brother-in-law?

Yeah I agree - unless Ian gives this award it is not valid.

It actually used to be Surasky until my grandfather moved the family to the US in the 1950s.

In some families, we blame it on the guys at Ellis Island who changed spelling of names.....dropping or inserting double letters......

Impressive. 10k. And Joe has 20k ? Wowza.

Awesome to see, and wonderful to know that you still have such a terrific relationship with your BIL. That's pretty cool when you think about it.

Happy New Year and enjoy the postseason, buddy!!!

Thanks Supa. And you got that right... I'm lucky to have such a great BIL and that our relationship continues to grow.

This makes me feel warm and fuzzy. Hey @Ian reset his posts to zero now.

Patjew is too chill to care.

But I can think of a few that it would be totally worth watching them flip out over meaningless numbers being changed that I would donate so much to make that happen.

Old Joke:
Did you hear about the Jewish guy named Sean Ferguson? He didn't speak any English and so his buddy explained to him that he would be asked his name. His name was a long one, and would hard for the officer to spell, so the buddy shortened it for him and told him what to say when asked. So, when the officer asked him his name, he couldn't remember and said "shane fergessen" (Yiddish for "I forgot already"). So the man wrote down "Sean Fergusen".

Congrats!

The people responding are just trying to add to their post count. Damn, they got me too.

That's fun. And I recognize your (board) name, which is good... Sometimes I'll notice someone with several thousand posts and I can't recall ever hearing of them are remembering anything they said, which is scary.

 

[Patjew]

I never liked you, Suraski...and now after this slap in the face..a paltry 10K posts?...now I REALLY hate your guts....watch out for this big boar headed, honking wildly old joker holding a brew in each hand at the playoff game...I'll get you for this ,Suraski if it's the last thing I do!

I dare you to try it... no, I demand it!

Question: What's the one thing that someone traveling forward in time from the 1950's would have the hardest time understanding about our era?

Answer: That everyone has in their pocket a device with which they can access nearly all of the accumulated knowledge of humankind, and use it primarily to look at cat pictures and argue about sports with strangers.

If my BIL gave me this award, he'd stand back to watch my wife's reaction and be highly entertained.

Didn't the board actually reset once, like in 2005 or 2006? I could go for that again. My next 10K posts would take at least 20 years at my current pace.

Only post count counts.
