Congratulations SOteric on 4000 posts!

I TRIED and tried to come up with something GOOD for your 400Oth but my brain is fried! More importantly, I just want you to know how incredibly lucky we are to have you at DU. Your posts are everything from thoughtful to witty to caring to intellectual to plain old fun and silly!

Besides...you'd look good on the hood of my car :evilgrin:

...I offer my humble congratulations! :toast::party:

Like I said yesterday, you've hit the trifecta: smart, funny and sexy! You rule! :loveya:

(insert sounds of mock battle here.)

;-)

:toast:, Julsy! To many more!

I've got what Esso wants right here:




























:toast: Cheers, you sexy thang!

I was going to say more, but my mind went completely blank after reading Short Bus' post. :)

seems we've been here before
can't even to begin to put into words how great i think you are and why i think so
you're just YOU. :loveya:

Excellent! I know more about you after yesterday, but I already knew that you are smart, witty, funny, and very cool. Thanks for being here and sharing yourself with us!!!!!

Cat :toast: :party: :bounce: :beer: :hi:

lunch-eatin' midday Lounge crowd! :eyes:

Oh, sorry - the boogie-down hamster distracted me.

Yeah, what nothingshocksmeanymore said, except for the bit about the hood of my car (though if you and her ever together grace her car's storied hood, please PM me...*nudgenudge...winkwink*).

You are an inspiration, an exasperation, and a favorednation in the universe of DU - may your next 4000 contributions, large and small, make as much of a difference to the rest of us as have the first four kiloposts.

GUINEA PIG! GUINEA PIG!!!

Respect the rump-shakin' rodent!

Perhaps you're right.

I was just overcome by the sensual primitivism of its dance.....

:toast: :dem:

Couldn't have happened to a nicer person! :toast:

And you especially, Oh Nonshocked One. It's lovely to be appreciated. And I'm pleasantly surprised at each and every response.

CONGRATULATIONS SOteric!!!!


:toast: :bounce: :party: :wow:

Hoo ha. Bee Bop De Bop Bop.

(Just a little song for the occasion.)

:loveya:

I've enjoyed getting to know you!!!

and being a DUer you are! :toast:

such an important party... and I almost missed it!

In your honor, and in characteristically longwinded style we at times share, I can not just merely mark this event with an emoticon and a high five.

Instead it is worthy of reflection how such a bright, well educated and decidedly sharply witty lady, comes to determine that a fittng way of passng some time is to share her bountiful gifts in these areas with we of the DU community. We are but a wiser and at times a slightly more collectively snickering community due to our dear SOteric's gracing presence.

And upon that thought.. may I lift a cup and offer a norwegian toast of akavit - or one's favorite toasting spirit (nonalcoholic beverages included) SKAAL! :toast: Thank you SOteric!
