JCC [30k] 12 Days of Namedrops

but wocky, it seems like a huge wave might drown all of your plants.

 

If I hurry, maybe I can hit 30K before the holiday season is over (if we count Martin Luther King Jr. Day as part of the "holiday season" ). I just checked after having not looked for a couple of years; I'm at around 28 & and a half (how appropriate) K right now.

 

Haha! A descending belittling quotation cascade. Now this thread is filled with even more of my favorite things.

However, I must say that I don't discern any attempt by Jello to steal the spotlight. If he had been, I could only be glad of it. Proper namedrop threads have been neglected for far too long. I would see it return, whether by emulation, inspiration, or imitation.

 

78 namedrops - that might be some kind of record. Fitting and appropriate, though. Congratulations!

 

Because they stopped being "ME" and started being "THEE".

I tell you Iello, you will yet rue this day.

(I need you to please envision a fist shaking menacingly at you; the physical dimension to my implicit threat.)

...

Has it occurred to you that a trophy for "most likely to have worn powdered wigs and duelled" could be created just for us?

Oh, and capital achievement Wocky, old bean. Delightful.

 

typo, tom. it's supposed to read "i don't currently have plants to alter the list, unless i'm hit with some huge wave of potplants". hope this clear things up for you.

 

Is he asking us to mail him potplants?

 

Congrats Wocky. I'm glad I made it so high on the list.

 

yes, better get on it.

wocky, what's your address

 

Wocky you are truly an enigma. A bizarre and crafty individual that is one of the many users whose contributions really make the JCC what it is. As you said to me in your namedrop, I'm glad you're sticking around as well while so many are coming and going.

 

No tldr here. But oddly some of those people mentioned, I have no idea who they are.

 

He'll probably give you Will Smith's address or something.

 

Thanks for the compliments, J-W. This place wouldn't be half as fun without your ever eloquent acrobatics with the English language, so here's to another 30K.

 

Unfortunately, even for you ICTYTT. Forgive me.

 

So if I don't hit 50,000 (I'm little over 1800 posts away) by the end of December, am I going to ruin the festivities?

 

Thanks for your kind words, Wocky. Despite the many disagreements and headaches, I value your friendship very much. Congrats on such a milestone.

 

Tunick I for one feel that whenever you say "niiiiiice" in a thread, any festivity is ruined beyond repair. So, given your propensity for that word... yes.

 

i can't even read the word "nice" anymore without mentally inserting a bunch of i's. my entire life is ruined.

 

Dead to me.

 

Congratulations, Wocky, my friend and comrade. I very much appreciate your kind words and look forward to another 6+ years of your company.

And someday I will find out your true name. Someday. I can only wait and hope.

 

My mind always goes back to that bit you did some time back about how he always follows this with a pretty self-evident description of the object's function, like "water is niiiiice for hydration" or "air conditioning is niiiiiice for maintaining a pleasant indoor temperature on a hot day." Then it makes me laugh.

 

When I think about that, Vanilla Coke comes to mind.
