4000th Post Challenge

[EOU]

We are hereby challenging Mark Reich, head to head, mano y mano, to a 2000th post challenge. Whoever wins gets a personal check for $3.00 drawn on the West Bank of the Mississippi. You snuck the 1400th out from under us but now you're going down!

[Mark Reich]

Gee, I'll have to figure out where you find these stats.

Also, I may ponder the likelihood that I'm running off at the keyboard to excess.

[Mark Reich]

In observance of "Extrey Observant Day", I hereby maketh the 500th post on the Bladesmithing Forum!

Sorry EOU, the door was wide open....  

[EOU]

That reallllly makes us mad Mark! It's our own fault though for being asleep at the wheel. What a great forum with really interesting stuff by Mark, Wade et al. Thanks a bunch for your efforts and, we suppose...congratulations on your 500th post!

[Mark Reich]

Kind modesty in such a critical, near life or death situation. You are an oak, Mike.

[EOU]

Decided to update this thread since not only 2000 posts have gone by but 3000 as well.

[Mark Reich]

It seems the whole Forum is looking pretty progressive, so *Thank You* to EOU and Everyone for your contributions.

Are you up to this again Mark? This time the winner gets one free night's accommodation at the Buffalo Chip Campground near Sturgis. Ever been there?

[Mark Reich]

I'm very sure I'll never win another "notable statistic" race, Mike. I retired off the winnings from the first one, so I'm content letting everyone else have their share.

Not only do I spend the best two weeks of the year in Buffalo Chip South Dakota, the most populous city in SD (for a week), I have keys to the place. All your accommodations will be taken care of, no matter what kind of trouble you might get into.

Several years ago, I drove by Sturgis during bike week. I was en route to a photography workshop in Montana. Looking way down the Interstate, the riders looked like very fast moving ants. The "ants" I met along the way were all all nice guys, having fun and making the residents of Sturgis very prosperous. Kudos to Sturgis' mayor!
