My 200th Anniversary

This marks my 200th post here at Barbelith. That's small potatoes to many of you. However, I just wanted to mark the occasion with a note of thanks to all my fellow 'Lithers. (Picture Yagg rising from his seat and tapping his glass with a spoon so that he may "say a few words.") It's good to know that, although I don't meet many of them on the street or where I work, there are plenty of other people out there in the wide world who fucking think. ("It ain't illegal yet") This place has a remarkable dynamic. The many and varied opinions push ever outwards, while an atmosphere of tolerance and respect (although sometimes strained!) is the gravity that holds it together. It's a challenging place to live an online life, but it pays off bigtime.

If I may be maudlin and sentimental for a moment: I propose a toast to all Barbelithers everywhere: You fuckers are alright! A great year to all in 2003! Here's working towards post #300! Cheers!

Happy 200, Yaggster (if I may call you that).

God, when I was your age... I was about as old as you are now.

The sound of One Spoon Tapping rouses M. Carnival from a brandied-up stupour.

So kind of Mordant to suggest this barbeparty to celebrate young Yagg's successful navigation of this rite of passage. Place is certainly filling up now the hostess is awake and passing round the soggy macaroons and party snacks.

Lurid is mixing some damn fine martinis but I can see Rothkoid itching to get his hands on his cocktail shaker. Boys, Boys! You can both be Tom Cruise this evening.

Ganesh and Sax doing Morrissey dancing over there by the fridge. Loomis and Haus eager to join in and tapping their toes but they are just too cool in those elegant tuxedos.

Happy 'Lithers mobbing Yagg as he recovers from the ordeal of the traditional 200th Poster's speech, slapping him heartily on the back as he is interviewed by _pin and Ellis for their zine.

Ariadne, down off that table, not in those stilettos! Go and join the queue in the kitchen where shortfatdyke is doing celebratory tattoos. I can hear some poor soul screaming now, having shortfatpoof emblazoned over his back. Oh, it's me...

Well, did you evah? What a swell party this is.

And it was his last day before retirement, too.

Having just discovered them, and this thread, I raise a Mojito in your honour, Yagg. mmmmm.
