Thanks to all for celebrating my 1000th post. On an occasion such as this, I am reminded of the Bud Light commercial where the guys sucks it up and determines himself to work until 2 minutes to 5 on a Friday afternoon -- then nearly passes out in his office as the clock ticks....
I too find it difficult to work until 5 -- and seldom do so on Tuesdays or Fridays.
I made a brief internal commitment to accept John's challenge to wait until tomorrow night to post -- after Plano East versus Lewisville. But since I don't generally report on PantherSon -- other than the times when he might warrant mention with the other guys on the team -- I decided to take this opportunity to bask in the glory of 1000 (mostly meaningless) contributions to the Texas Forum. That and....I was ready to pass out at my desk as you guys dog-pile Train. Ah, such a fine tradition.
If you've been here for a while, you too are mumbling to yourself..."doesn't everyone realize that the post-counts were reset sometime in 2004, thereby rendering this celebration even MORE meaningless????" Yes, my post-count might actually rival BigHit's or Kellerdad's -- shhh, who's counting?!?!
Thoughts and memories....I remember when....
HSBBWEB was a place to sit back, kick off your shoes, and make fun of parents who never played the game....
Plano had 2 senior high schools...
Swingdoc was a coach, rather than a mythical hero...
Swami was a mythical hero, rather than a coach...
FormerObserver observed closer to home...
D9-5A was the place to be...
BigHit actually posted...
No one knew my name...
Moms prepared hot dogs for the kids....
DBAT was an acronym...
Mr Benoit screwed up...
Special thanks to Swingdoc, Melynda, DBAT, KD, indugu, and others that acknowledged this special moment.....and to those of you that had me laughing at my desk today as the anticipation grew. John, I'll still post tomorrow night.
HS baseball and this site have become my favorite hobby. We would have to debate whether that is pathetic in another topic!
Go Panthers!
Go HHBBWEB!
On to 2000......
