Thought I'd denote the occasion with a poem from Robert Graves

Strong Beer

?WHAT do you think
The bravest drink
Under the sky??
?Strong beer,? said I.

?There?s a place for everything,
Everything, anything,
There?s a place for everything
Where it ought to be:
For a chicken, the hen?s wing;
For poison, the bee?s sting;
For almond-blossom, Spring;
A beerhouse for me.?

?There?s a prize for every one
Every one, any one,
There?s a prize for every one,
Whoever he may be:
Crags for the mountaineer,
Flags for the Fusilier,
For English poets, beer!
Strong beer for me!?

?Tell us, now, how and when
We may find the bravest men??
?A sure test, an easy test:
Those that drink beer are the best,
Brown beer strongly brewed,
English drink and English food.?

Oh, never choose as Gideon chose
By the cold well, but rather those
Who look on beer when it is brown,
Smack their lips and gulp it down.
Leave the lads who tamely drink
With Gideon by the water brink,
But search the benches of the Plough,
The Tun, the Sun, the Spotted Cow,
For jolly rascal lads who pray,
Pewter in hand, at close of day,
?Teach me to live that I may fear
The grave as little as my beer.?


oh yeah, and an 'Asylum' sig too....

*emotionally touched* good one, DL!
*goes into kitchen for a beer*

but which occasion do you mean?

Happy 2K DL

ahhhhh....
im so slow with thinking sometimes....


congrats, DL! enjoy!

Congrats DL

I'm sharing one with you right now to commemorate the occasion.



- Resolutions, Of All My Fruitless Searches -

Happy days are here again....DL's round methinks...

Instead of round numbers, we should be celebrating *computer* numbers, i.e. 1024, 2048, etc (like Doc said)...

Anyway, happy 2K DL!

yay

English food?

Jason

mmm... congrats DL...... now I know what you were fooling with in the sig forum....

Happy P2K DL

Sheesh, get a life.



If they had just killed Gilligan, they`d have been off the island in a week.

I'd just like to point out that VP hit his 2000th post well before me in spite of joining the forum well *after* me.....

And yeah, computer numbers are cool and all, but a number like 2000 just begs to be noted

english food *can* be good, but the imagery certainly tends toward some nasty half cooked disease infested meat doesn't it? lol. But I'll take english beer any day (in fact I am right now ).

i agree with taxon....
you can see, that he was collecting posts in the sig-forum... hehe

well some of us have a lot more usless stuff to say then others! heh..

Ah yes, more evidence that we don't have real lives... WELL DONE! Congrats and all that, DL-44. Great job on the sig too!

I would have to second that useless thing j/k

Congrats DL, that is 2000 posts worth of useful information given out to others, or asking questions that have enriched your experience. Nothing better to celebrate.

hurrah!
