After 44 pages, 8,000 views, and almost 4 months of day-by-day wrestling in the mud, hobnobbing, beseeching and besmirching, wangling, and just plain merrymaking, this thread can be retired.
I have arrived. My Quest is complete.
true_blood's bitchslaps have been whittled down to just a little over 1,000 now. I don't know how and why that occurred; I do know that just a few days ago he had amassed something like 1,280 bitchslaps all told.
But the Bitchslap gods have foresaken him, evidently, and have come over to my side.
Unless my information is incorrect, I now have more bitchslaps accumulated than anyone else on CC.
I can die now. As previously mentioned, my Quest is complete.
I am most grateful for the support and the encouragement over these long, hard, cruel months. While many of you have slipped the shiv between my ribs in bestowing h5s on me, I know that deep down, you would much rather have administered the Noble Bitchslap.
So with my ears still ringing from all the Bitchslaps, I can rest now.
Thanks, and Go With God.
