There isn't much worth rowing over for on this campfire.  Calpig is crowing about reaching 90,000 plops:

90,000 plus
   

 
I just realized, thanks to another more observant DU'er than myself, that I've gotten to over 90,000 posts...

This one is 90,010.

It sure has been a blast! Well, mostly... 

Thank you to all of you who have helped me get here!

Cheers, everybody!

1. Wow
   
that's a lot of posts.

I wonder how high they would stack? Like maybe to the moon and back.

Congrats.

Moon and back?  I think somebody's mole is sneaking in the "moon" part of "moonbat"  :rotf:

It would make a very unstable pile, I think!

Thank you!

Calpig's plops make for a very unstable pile.  Not exactly a revelation.

Half of those posts are replies to her squeeze.      :-)

Let's see ...

90,000/5.5 years = 16,363.63 per year

/12 months = 1,363.63 per month

/30 days = 45.45 per day

Of course, I'll need to have Nadin check my math

She paid attention in that class. You know the other day she was expounding on quantum mechanics and string theory.

That isn't hard to do when many of her posts are nothing more than "lol" in her own threads.

The other day, Google had a cool opening page for Jorge Luis Borges, a real poet for his 112 birthday. He wrote a cool poem called "The Moon" (not my favorite translation but I nadined it and I can easily cut and paste):

History tells us how in that past time
When all things happened, real,
Imaginary, and dubious, a man
Conceived the unconscionable plan

Of making an abridgment of the universe
In a single book and with infinite zest
He towered his screed up, lofty and
Strenuous, polished it, spoke the final verse.

About to offer his thanks to fortune,
He lifted up his eyes and saw a burnished
Disc in the air and realized, stunned,
That somehow he had forgotten the moon.

Katia is now a hurricane.  Nadin doesn't have time to check your math.  She needs to update the east coast and get them prepared.

I don't know about that. She often mentions the ability to walk and chew gum.
Nutcase nadin is a multitasking dynamo.

Go-nads will have a latin translation for the name "Katia", any time now.

She reminds me of the librarian in high school, both in looks and dalliance.  Hard to get mad at her stupidity because of that.

If that particular string theory has to do with yo-yos, then you might be right.   :-)

They're like twins separated at birth, but I think Coach Holtz in drag would probably make a better-looking woman
than the CalPig. And I'm sure he's a better poet.
