Who? When? Where? 1,000,000th post!

Leave big pharma alone, I get all sorts of perks from them at work. Pfizer provides me 6 months supply of flea medication every year for free, that saves me like 300 dollars a year. Also, for a little while Novartis used to send us jelly beans. Although, it may not be sensible to eat something sent to you by a drug company just because it's labeled as candy.

Don't you jut love drug reps? When I was working in a small animal clinic we used to love when the reps would come because they would give us free stuff. The doc didn't like it so much- he was the one who had to listen to their sales pitches haha. Never got my flea/heartworm meds free though...that would have been awesome!

Hunh... Didn't realise you guys had flea problems.

At last, hard evidence of the bribery, trickery and dirty tactics. The homeopaths will be quoting you for the millenium!

If a bit of free flea powder and a few sweets constitutes your minimum bribe level, you probably shouldn't be working for a major drugs corporation... :P

Anyway, party sounds good! But where would we hold it? US UK? Somewhere in between (that could be rather damp)? I'll bring a bottle...

The trouble with bottle parties is that the bottles are usually already empty on arrival.

I think we should go for UK - purely and simply because then I can stagger home, without being ill all over an air hostess.

Hey, can the rest of us stagger to your house?

Must be a Canadian thing

Any time you like!! I'll be the one lying in the hallway surrounded by empties.

I know!

Tht statement has already been spammed on 18 reiki discussion boards, 15 practitioners in the homeopath network, 148 alt med sites and is coming out tomorrow in the National Enquirer

At least she'll be famous.



Now check out your Google ads with that keyword magnet!

Place?

What flaming century are you living in??

The internet is a time, not a place.

We need to pick an hour or two in time.

Actually, having a few months to plan is ideal, because then we can be assured that everyone will be here!

As I see it, time zones are irrelevant, because we all live in different ones.

You're either up for a party or you're not.

It can be breakfast in the office with you desktop, airborne on cellphone or on a boat and laptop - all you need to be is awake, and since the invention of alarm clocks, that is simple to arrange.

What do you reckon?

Here's a suggestion:

There are any number of media we can use here, but for simplicity, I'd say we stick to a couple: get a chatroom and use a specific thread, along with the live chat.

Start the party.

Chat.

Post pics!

Ah, well since you'll be responsible for the supply, empty is how they should be!

Now, you can!

I've sent Scher a PM to find out just how many posts a day there are on average so we can get an approximate idea of when to do it.

It might be a good idea to set a day several days in advance of the expected date, then if we need a burst of posts to get the 1,000,000 post screenshot, we can set up and spam a thread somewhere.

Advertise it well, there must be a couple of hundred people will partake in it?

And we'll try to keep the drinking references to places like The Blokes' Club as I am aware some people are offended by boozy ex-rugger louts and their mascot!

One will be the very model of propriety, as is the nobless oblige of the English upper classes. However, being neither, I can do what the heck I like!! Pass the bottle!

You and me both! The only class I ever had was at school.

Does the boss know about this invite???

[Lokasenna]

What's the bet that our millionth post is something along the lines of:

"Hi can u explain why Hamlet wont take rvenge k thnx"

We should try to avoid that scenario...

[prendrelemick]

No, no if that is the one - then let it be - much better that a contrived sound bite.

Do you think that if Neil Arnstrong had slipped all those years ago and said "Oh Bug-er" it would have mattered?

[The Atheist]

Ah, I might have to pour some cold water on myself - it looks as though we're about a year away from 1,000,000!
