For the next post count milestone party! Who could it be? I'll give you a hint: He's recently been refered to as "Penguin guy".

Excellent! I don't know who Penguin Guy is, but I finally have my guacamole recipe down pat. And, I've learned to make a killer Mohito.

Bring it on!

Good. I love guacamole. (And not to be selfish... everybody else can have some too) :biggrin5:
This may sound ironic, but, whattsa Mohito?

ForeverAutumn

A mohito is a delicious summer drink. I believe that its origins may come from Cuba, which might explain why, as an American, you are not familiar with this tasty, tasty treat.

It's basically lots of fresh mint and fresh lime juice, a little bit of sugar, bitters, rum and soda water. It's very refreshing on a hot day.

Rich and FA 6,000 posts will be a reason to party. I am looking forward to a Mohito and trying your guacamole. Since the drink is Cuban maybe we can light up some Cuban Cohibas to smoke while enjoying the cool drink. Good cigars and good company. Do not forget to invite penguin man.

Ha! That was pretty funny. But does it count if you pad your post count by egging someone on?

How could I have not known who "penguin guy" was? Just shows how little attention I pay to avatars.

When you have some time you should do a search on pixelthis, include about 4 months of posts and read some of his outrageousness. At first I'd get angry, but then after awhile I got use to it. He certainly has a way with words. :lol:

And yeah, if we can get Kex & Pix locked in a heated debate we'll be partying in no time! I do think we should wait 'til PeruvianSkies gets back from the North Pole though...

When GMichael finally wakes up (:rolleyes: ) and realizes we're in the early planning stages he'll be put in charge of invitations.

Cuban cigars? Cuban drinks? I don't know, G dubya may not like all these cuban luxuries coming into the country. Better keep that stuff under your hat. :skep:

Yeah me too. That picture was taken up at a friend's cottage in Quebec, on the St. Lawrence River. Actually, the cottage belongs to the now ex-boyfriend of the friend, so it's not likely that I'll be seeing that tree again. :(

I added the colours in the background to make it look more like twilight. I'm not sure if that comes out in the small thumbprint.

You can share bartender duties with FA's piece on the side under two conditions: You have to bring Eva to the party and, none of that crazy concoction like you brewed up at the last party. I'm still seeing double every once-in-a-while. :crazy:

OK, no more crazy concoctions like last time (fingers crossed behind my back).

Not at all bobsticks. In fact, will you please go chop down some trees? We''ll need firewood for the weenie roast.

Take care. Stay safe. -Rich

We are stocked up with 12 kinds of dark beer and 4 kinds of lite. There are several boxes of wine downstairs. Even a few bottles. Some have corks instead of twist tops. Soda of all kinds stacked as high as you can see. Juices, milk, coffee, check, check check. Three freezers filled with ice, and the store is walking distance. Perishables are on order. The girls are warming up. I have 4 bartenders hired, but I couldn't find that guy from FA's party. He's still missing. Invitations are not ready yet but the graphics are done. The basement is all fixed up. Stereo is ready. Guitar and amp are cleaned up. Both HT systems are fired up. Karaoke is ready. The camcorder is set up so we can make DVD's of the people who try to sing, as well as the ones who fall asleep in the bath tub. The local hospital has been put on alert. I invited the local cops to the party so they won't bother us. Yogi and Booboo said they may stop by, but don't want to come indoors. I'll send a PM to P.G. when it's time.

But I think I missed a few things. What have I left out?

It's all in how you do it. When the time comes, I'll PM him and say that we need his expert advice on a thread. Then I'll paste a link to the new thread that we'll have started. Maybe we should start it in the steel cage. He never goes there. The title could be SHHHHHHHH... It's a surprize. Don't tell ...

I understand that JM, but to me, the damage is already done when these posts show up. What you describe is a reactionary measure instead of a pro-active measure. My interpretation of the "submit bad post" icon is that it's there for a person who feels that when he's been personally attacked, he has an avenue to vent his frustration, and more importantly a way to alert the mods that a member is violating the forum rules. To reiterate, sites that I've been a member of in the past didn't see any where near the amount of spam crap that this site sees, and I'm sure it's contributing to this site's dwindling traffic from some really interesting people.

Nevertheless John, I do appreciate your's and E-stat's position, and I realize you're doing the best you can with the resources provided to you. :thumbsup: to you.

Imagine if we had a spam filter. I wonder how many threads might not appear because the filter mistook something for spam. I can show you a few threads by long term members that by the title looked like spam. We have a filter for objectionable words but we can find ways around it. Of course if you want to talk about Donald ***en you have to type his last name F@gen so others will know who you meant. This is a free site with free registration and that will always open us up to spammers. Some sites with a smaller membership and narrower interest are not as plagued by spam. A watch site I visit is not of enough interest to the general public that spammers bother with it. They want to go where their threads might be seen by the most. We do ban routine spammers and porn spammers. Also members that continually harass others. When something is free to all there are usually tradeoffs.

Back to the party preparations.
