A belated congratulations.

Thanks very much - I'm unspeakably excited. Now if only I could master the Lottery thing.

Hello ConciergeMike,

pretty new to FT and first post in "The Box" just was reading through a few pages.

FWIW just thought I would add my congrats on your new job, stayed at the Borgata a few years back, very nice property. A nice feather in your cap. Good luck.

Cheers,
COFan

:eek:

ALCO, fire up the emotipillar. J.Edward heat up some cheese soup. rkkwan, grab a wide-body paddle. I'll go in search of some galvanized hot nuts.

Welcome to the most random corner of the internet.

COFan welcome
and belynch don't forget the booze when picking up the nuts

Thank you very much - I agree on all counts. :) Welcome to The Box...prepare for nothing and everything all at once.

I guess that leaves me trying to find a Seinfeld box set and someone other than monitor to watch hockey with. :sigh:

ALCO can take care of that too, as his knowledge of certain drinks and daquiri combinations in both land-based bars and certain F/J cabins knows no earthly bounds.

rolov, how could I forget! You're in charge of the Emperor's Club duties! :D

Everyone needs a hobby. ;)

When I saw the "fresh meat" chumming the waters in the Box I went on overload. There are a ton of people that make this the most absurd corner of the internet, and you sir, are certainly one of them. ;)

To get us back on track - I'd like to suggest the following for today's most absurd news article. Although, I'll give the Courier Journal credit in disguising the hilarity until the very end. Very good delivery.

Nice! I don't feel left out or anything, especially because I just checked the Who's Posting box, and I'm now within 2 posts of sdm1130 for 6th overall. It's so close I can sniff it...or is that audacious and unmitigated flatulence?

On a semi-serious note, I have noticed a lot of low-post fresh meat recently. Maybe the reputation of The Box is growing.

Welcome to the Monkey House. Hebephrenics to the left, Degenerates and ne'er-do-wells to the right.

I forgot to comment on the part about The Box being "the most absurd corner of the Internet", and that indeed it is. I still maintain the idea that the top 10 posters should all get hammered together one night and see if we can get a reality show out of it. (This is a shameless extra post...I'm infrequently guilty of that, so I'll abuse it only when necessary.)

A few of them have :p ;)

But, I'm sure a full out event could be arranged.

A welcome from our fearless leader which sounds suspiciously patterned after his desired widebody boarding announcement...something about "consultants and wastrels". @:-) Break out the Emotipillar on the new guy.
