Balloons!!! Party hats!!! Break out the champagne!!!
Well, boys and girls, today we reached an important milestone at Dining@Large.
At 5:18 p.m. today, Lissa posted our 50,000th comment!!!!! She joins Hal Laurent, our Voice of Reason; Owl Meat; e and LEC as milestone winners of fabulous prizes, which have sometimes been hard to collect. And probably will be particularly hard to collect now that our parent company is in Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection.
But I will do my best for you, Lissa.
Here were her immortal words: ...
Yes, Bucky, Bozo was a franchise. And scary. Like all clowns.
I do love how every person who comes to the Internet feels that their own particular grammar and punctuation quirks are the One True Way, and that everything that came before them was obviously a lie.
The Internet has never recovered from that first influx of people from AOL, I fear.
Please join me in offering her excited and warm congratulations!!!!!
Comments
excited and warm congratulations!!!!! are **really** hard to do and type at the same time.

What were the odds it would be Lissa?

Does the software track that thing? I assume it must since counting would be quite cumbersome.

I spend way too much time here, obviously.
Laura Lee, I am odd, after all.
Just wish it had been a more literate comment. Bozo and AOL....my.

What are the odds it wouldn't be Owlie or one of his alter egos?
Congrats, Lissa. I am honored to have been mentioned in your comment and after they carve it into the marble wall at the Sandbox Hall of Fame, I will be able to bring my grandchildren (maybe, someday) and show them.

Wow, already? Seems like it was just a few months ago we hit the last milestone...
Congrats Lissa!

Bucky, I bet you get the next one.

It's been a year and a half since the last milestone.

Lissa, did I ever tell that you I met my wife on AOL.com, actually Love@AOL.com. And...ummm...yes, this is a true story.

You are so brave to admit that, RoCK.
After college, the only network I had access to for a few months was Prodigy. It was...quite a change from bitnet.
