When did our statuses change? It seems that I am now a veteran member...

[tony]

Membership titles, number of posts

Junior, 0
Member, 30
Senior, 100
Veteran, 500
Gold, 1,000
Platinum, 1,500
Golden Eagle, 2,000

Those are the levels. If they changed, and I don't know, then I would cast a suspicious eye toward Talk Host.

Wow Tony - a bit of a different look in you new avatar. You bear no resemblance to a English major (hehe)

I just remember junior and member statuses - guess I've been asleep at the wheel.

[Talk Host]

That's why he's the "nice" administrator.

Tony - I think I'm actually a 'bald' eagle

English major? What? Kate! Me? An English major?

Not just another pretty face.

And also, the next thing Talk Host posts will be a lie.

And I am ahead of Russ in the bald eagle race.

My avatar is two years old at this point. Don't be so sure.

Ohhhhh, noooooo, et tu, Kate???????

I was sitting here at my computer innocently studying up on kitchen appliances (still) and I clicked over to TOTV and there it was! KATE! I never thought Kate would besmirch English majors.

And then to heap insult upon injury, I see that I am hovering close to some kind of status that I have feared reaching. Aasaaaaaaaughhhhhh!!! All those cold winter mornings. All those breakfast and lunch times, sitting down in front of this infernal machine and typing away, mostly silly stuff.

I remember being horrified when I reached 100 posts. I thought I was turning into some kind of character in a science fiction book. In front of a big screen. All so Fahrenheit 451. Or is it Brave New World??? Oh who knows? Maybe we can find AN English major around here somewhere who will know.

I used to threaten to move the computer out of the kitchen where it called to me way too often. I did move it. But not to the basement. I moved it to a new room -- that I seem to have built around it. Aaaaaaauuuuuugh!!!! This room is better than the kitchen even. I am in this room all the time. The computer still sings its sirens' song. (Ohhhhhh, maybe an English major here somewhere will know all about those sirens, luring that poor guy to crash on those rocks. I have heard that English majors just love those allusions. Maybe we can get one to come out of hiding.)

And, btw, Mr. Tony, Mr. Admin, Sir, your hat is still ugly, like I told you on here somewhere the other day. And I showed that picture of yours to Mr. Boomer and now he wants a hat just like that one. Aaaaaaaaaugh!!!!!

And, also Mr. Tony, when I was in TV, I met some people from TOTV and they are all really nice, but now they might think I am truly crazy because I told some of them about the granite slab I saw when trying to pick out a counter top. And if you continue to besmirch English majors, Mr. Tony, I cannot guarantee that I will not stay up after midnight some night, when I become totally irresponsible for what I might type. And who knows? I might post a picture in the Girl Talk thread. Yes! I might post a picture of that granite slab. English majors see things you know. Maybe I could use that picture to find out who the English majors are around here.......

I am quite upset about my big number of posts, but alas, here I am. I read something on here and it causes me to find myself face down in the stream of consciousness, yet again. English majors? What English majors? I don't see any English majors anywhere.

English Majors are A BAWDY BUNCH.

Cases in point ...Boomers essay on Flatulence and her upcoming one on THE GRANITE SLAB. (I know things)

sigh. I still like her.

THANK GAWD I was not an English Major. I was a cheerleader. We didn't hang out much with English Majors. BUT.... I am open to it now.

[tony]

Who, but an English major, would use the word "besmirch"? And only an English major would be bothered by an obvious error in the previous sentence.

And my hat is off to Mr. Boomer's fine taste.

No, I've examined the photo quite closely, your hat is still visible.

BTW I still have a passel of pictures to post.

Ohhhh, Mr. Tony, I know that was an obvious error in the sentence Kate wrote. Ohhhhh, that Kate, she is a smart one she is. Did you not see that NOT SO innocent (hehe) after she did not use the proper article in front of a vowel? Ohhhhhh, that Kate. She knew exactly what she was doing. I suspect that she always does. In fact, I think many of us depend on it around here. But, I NEVER thought Kate would besmirch English majors. I feel faint. Yes. I do.

And about that Gracie, wellllllll, she is, in real life, a tall, graceful blonde. Of course, she was a cheerleader.

And now, I must be off. Too many posts. Too little time to finish all this stuff I am not getting done in my real life.

Boomer

[tony]

I recognize that as a subterfuge. Craftily done, but still a subterfuge.

And Talk Host is not an English major. He used the word "passel".

[katezbox]

Ah Boomer... here I sit after an evening in TV with good friends drawn to the computer. Glad to see some posts of great interest - although none may ever rate as highly (yes Ms. Boomer, I know that should be an adverb) as the ever-best-of-TOTV series on farts. (Yes, Gracie, I know I am less polite than your wonderful kind and beauteous self.)

Now I will fess up something that will make your hair (pardon, Tony and Russ) curl. I have taught English....

Oh my (as Boomer might say).

[tony]

Holy smoke.

An English major!

Well, maybe not an English major, but a major English teacher.

Kate just outed herself.
