The moment is close approaching when I cross the line of that holy grail of grails, that of going into the four-digit post territory! It will be here sooner than you know---- quick! It is still not too late to bump me off the forum! :mrgreen:
Surely, this must be one of the great moments in a man's life. The first great hurdle is getting to the 100 post count, now very soon, the 1000 post count! This even beats the time I stapled Suzy's pigtail to my desk in front of me in the 1st grade just as the fire alarm drill went off. People will look up to me now, I'll be a very important person from here on in, food will even taste a little bit better. I'll finally command the respect in life of one of the greats in the pantheon of human achievement. Leonardo da Vinci, move over.
Folks will see me walking down the street now and say: "There goes a fine lad. I knew him once! I was there when he finally cracked his big success in life!"
Tobacco will taste better and my pipes will smoke cooler and drier. People will hold the door open for me now saying: Quick! Get that bastard the hell out of here, while we still have the chance!" :

Seriously, it is funny to say you've done something for over 40 years of your life, then joined a website and learned a lot more from total strangers you've never met! Hell, I've amassed 56 websites alone from this group relating to pipes and tobaccos.
Put another way, I just want to say a big Thanks! to Kevin for hosting this site and making it all possible, the staff and crew who work hard giving up a lot of their time helping to run and maintain it, and to all the really wonderful people here who have shared so very much of themselves and what they know about pipes, tobaccos and smoking--- I'm even finally using a tamper now --- you folks have definitely enriched the experience; thank you for sharing your friendship, I feel that I've met and made many great friends here, and to all those out there with splendid senses of humor who absolutely delight in ribbing me with insults and don't mind my pulling their leg as well, always in good fun and meant well. It really has been a delight. I hope I can occasionally give back a small portion of all that you folks have given me.
