    Hey Sal,

    It would be kinda cool to see you really go at it, but...

    What if you didn't gt banned for a few eeks, but rather forever? Who would keep me in my place?

    Anyway, I'm sure whatever you post will be cool.

    Congrats on the "official" post count. And a belated congrats on your 10,000th if you count the "unofficial" posts.

    All the best,
    Michael

    I would suggest that you go off into the wilderness for three days (a WF vision quest of sorts). By the time you return, you'll know exactly what to post.

      LMAO - 40 days and nights in the desert maybe? Maybe I can descend from a mountain with some new tablets?

      Uh...never mind - I think I'll stay under timberline this time just in case of lightening for even thinking of it.

      Ah nuts. I'd use it........but you just did. LOL.

      Michael - Yeah, that's what I'm checking out - fine line between for a few and see ya again...never. I'm sure there are others just waiting to slap you around if I left, though...just because I usually jump on it first...:p

      Tina - Well yes, I'd like to cover both...that's why I figure I'll probably get banned for a bit. LOL

      Locpic63 - uh..don't bait your breath, dude - you might just catch a carp.

      Frankly - I don't know what I wanna do with it but Becky was prophetic. I'm going rock hunting first. Who knows what mood I'll be in when I get back? God I hope we don't get a wave of idiots in here over the weekend.

    Sal, ooohhh... #3k post... that's a good one, you gotta make that one count.

    Let me sleep on it, all I can think of right now for ideas would definitely get you the ban hammer.


    I have a few questions for you...


    #1. Who do you want to help (or hurt) with #3k, yourself? others? both?

    #2. How do you want to help (or hurt)? Help newbies/oldbies? Hurt spammers/scammers? (just a couple generic examples)

    #3. What do you want to do?


    I may pop in to say hi during REM sleep... keep your energy open...

      I hope I'm not being overly presumptuous here, but if you could make your 3000th post about what a wonderful person I am, and how anybody that had me for a life-partner would surely have gotten the greatest gift God could bestow on anyone, I'd be much obliged.

      That way I could point out the post to my wife and then see wouldn't be so quick to condem me everytime I left the toilet seat up, or left dishes in the sink, or ask her to wash my car while she's washing hers, or forget to take the trash out, or refuse to do my own laundry, or complain that the dinner took her too long to make, or that she's hogging the remote, or that her roots are showing and it's time for another dye job, or that her friends are just a bunch of gossipy old bags, or that she sure doesn't have the figure she had when we first met, or the million other things I try to point out to make her life better.

      I know coming from another woman the endorsement would carry more weight, so that's why I'm asking. You'd be doing her a big favor by pointing out what a great guy I am so I'm sure you'd get a big karma boost that would last a lifetime.

          I don't charge my wife that much, so it wouldn't be kosher to falsely brag like that.

    so you are still hanging on to this moment eh Sal? still 2999?

    ...you are as bad as me with birthdays. (i have been 29 over 20 times now)

    you do know how to 'work a room', girl.

    PRE-LAUNCH - SALLY'S 3000th (recorded) post COMING ANY DAY NOW.

    WATCH FOR IT.

    you are making me nervous - will you just go and post #3000? already?

    i know, a WSO???? Sally Taylor's report on how to work a room.

    what is the big deal with 3000? especially since you have at least another 3000 you didn't get credit for in the OT Bar and FLAME GRILL

    GO FOR IT.


    i know - you want cake?

    i just happen to have one

    happy 3000th birthday heysal.

    HeySal

    Anticipation is making me wait. Maybe you could immortalize yourself with some infinite nugget of wisdom.
    Maybe you could share your most embarrasing moment, Or how you know that Thom is the fattie master? (self proclaimed and otherwise.)
    Maybe you could give away some free gifts in the War Room to commemerate your 3000 post. Say 500 copies of something. Then you could listen to people complain how stingy you are. (This recently happened you know)
    Or Maybe you could keep us waiting and have the thread with the most posts in the history of the Warrior Forum.
    Looks like you have a lot of options.
    I'll be waiting..............

Here I thought I was living a fun, exciting life and now I have just been slapped in the face with the fact that I am DULL. Whimper.

    Sal,

    There is a marketing lesson here that you have revealed that everyone should look at more closely...

    Scarcity/uniqueness/limited edition/once in a lifetime opportunity...

    Just look at how you've got everyone drooling over your next post, the magical 3K post... you've got everyone hanging on your next words like they are dangling off a cliff for dear life...

    This tactic can be put to very good use if used in the right way...

    i am not drunk or drooling - it is making me nervous because i HATE WAITING.

    i don't even care what Sal posts in the forum - i will probably never even see it. i am waiting for the number to change just because she pointed it out that it isn't changing.

    and damn it still isn't changing.

    but yes, there are lessons here about marketing.

    ... anticipation is 9/10 of the law

    unless you are nervous.

    i think i will just shine it - i have hours more of work to do and it is 10pm

    i am sure when i come back tomorrow it will still be 2999

    also says how boring the OT forum is - (without politics/conspiracies/strife and derision).

    at least we moved on from Sun Chips thank you very much...

    Pat - I used to enjoy songs with my name in them. Mustang Sally got a little bit over-used, but I didn't really mind. Then they wrote Lay Down Sally - and now I despise songs with my name in them. Man, it took a couple years for people to quit singing that to me - and they always thought it was real funny and probably the first time I'd heard it.
