IT'S THE FIRST OFFICIAL HUMP HUMP HOORAY DAY THREAD!

[Post-Doctorate D]

NEW SITE . . . NEW CONCEPT . . . NEW-ISH RULES!

OKAY PEEPS, WELCOME TO THE VERY FIRST TRIPLE-H DAY THREAD ON THIS BRAND SPANKING NEW FORUM!  (NO BABIES WERE SPANKED DURING THE TRANSMISSION OF THIS THREAD.  PROBABLY.)  IT'S WEDNESDAY WHICH IN THE U.S. IS ALSO REFERRED TO AS HUMP DAY BUT INSTEAD OF BEING DOWN ABOUT IT ONLY BEING HALFWAY THROUGH THE WEEK, BE GLAD THAT WE'RE HALFWAY TO FRIDAY!

PLACE YOUR BETS ON HOW LONG IT IS BEFORE SOMEONE POSTS THE FIRST THREAD ON THIS NEW FORUM LINKING TO A GUARDIAN ARTICLE WARNING ABOUT THE IMPENDING DEATH OF INDIE PUBLISHING!

MAKE YOUR WAGERS ON HOW LONG IT WILL BE BEFORE SOMEONE ASKS "CAN I QUOTE JUST ONE STANZA OF MY FAVORITE SONG TO USE IN MY BOOK 'CAUSE IT'S REALLY ESSENTIAL TO THE CHARACTER"?  MAYBE WE SHOULD JUST HAVE A FAQ THREAD STICKIED WITH A GIANT "NO" EMBLAZONED NEXT TO THE QUESTION.

ANYWAY, HUMP HUMP HOORAY DAY IS ALL ABOUT CELEBRATING THOSE BIG OR LITTLE MILESTONES THAT MAKE YOU HAPPY FOR THE WEEK SO FAR.  HUMBLEBRAGS AND BIG BRAGS WILL ALL BE WELCOME, THOUGH IF YOU'VE JUST BOUGHT A MANSION WITH THE EARNINGS FROM YOUR SECOND QUARTER BOOK SALES, YOU MAY FACE JEALOUS SILENCE FROM THOSE OF US THAT CAN'T BUY A POSTAGE STAMP WITH OUR SECOND QUARTER SALES, OR LACK THEREOF.  BUT, OTHERWISE, LET'S CELEBRATE OUR SMALL WINS FOR THE WEEK SO FAR.

AS FOR ME, I WROTE 89 WORDS THE OTHER NIGHT.  YES, THAT'S A JOKE FOR SOME OF YOU BUT IT'S, WELL, KIND OF PATHETIC FOR ME TOO, BUT 89 WORDS IS BETTER THAN 88 OR ZERO, SO HUMP HUMP HOORAY FOR THAT!  YAY!

SO, HIT THAT CAPS-LOCK KEY ON YOUR KEYBOARD AND CELEBRATE WITH THE REST OF US!  WHAT IS YOUR CELEBRATORY EVENT FOR THE WEEK SO FAR?

HAPPY HUMP HUMP HOORAY DAY!

I THINK THE TERMINATOR IS SUPERIOR TO TERMINATOR 2: JUDGMENT DAY. BUT, I'M ALSO OF THE OPINION THAT ALIENS IS BETTER THAN ALIEN. I THINK YOU CAN SEE THE COMMON DENOMINATOR HERE. OR MAYBE YOU CAN'T. OOOH...THE MYSTERY...

ALSO, SHOE, YOUR AVATAR REMINDED ME. I TRULY BELIEVE IF I GET MEDITERRANEAN AND BALTIC TOGETHER IN A SET, AND YOU GET PARK PLACE AND BOARDWALK, THAT I WILL STILL WIN. WAIT! CAN I TRADE YOU KENTUCKY AVE. FOR PACIFIC?

[Sonya Bateman]

THAT'S ALL I HAVE TO SAY.

YOU CAN HAVE BOARDWALK AND PARK PLACE (BAD INVESTMENTS). NEW YORK AVENUE, TENNESSEE AVENUE & ST JAMES PLACE PLUS MARVIN GARDENS, VENTNOR AVENUE AND ATLANTIC AVENUE ALWAYS ARE THE BEST PROPERTIES BY FAR.
