Now, back in the old days you were allowed to create topics for certain post counts, 10,000 was one of those numbers. I know this is the Transformers Toy Forum and I'll get to that in a minute with a two part response, but since most of my posts have been here, this is where I'll have my say.

Interaction with people online and via blogging, forums, or whatever has really come into its own over the past few years. There's a lot of us who are interested in our little hobby, but who otherwise would have no contact with members of the community if it were not for incredible fan-resources like this site.

Now, I may be a complete douche, but through the years here, I've made a lot of really great friends in places all over the world. We get together at conventions, our families hang out when possible, and we help each other out with toys, info, places to stay etc.

It's been awesome getting to know other collectors and to share my interest in the hobby with those other collectors. We might not always agree, but hey, screw you. You were wrong. :grin:

But seriously (and getting back to Toy discussion) feel free to use this time and space to say nice things about me, perhaps comment on how handsome I am (never mind any thoughts of bromance), or to share stories about anything I may have done or said while drunk. You can even lie as long as it’s funny.

Right...the toys...I am going to give away a mystery Transformer (deluxe sized!) to whomever has the most amusing comment here (they have to be in the US...sorry). It can be your treasure to keep forever, or you can take pictures of you and the figure and mail it to someone else until it is eventually kept by some greedy jerk. :APPLAUSE:

Lastly, if none of this interests you and to make sure we stay on topic, here is a picture to discuss:

Congrats on 10,000

My collection has grown because of meeting you... I never would have gotten into Mini-cons if it wasn't for seeing your collection in real life... Thanks again for all you do... Congratulations on your 10,000 Posting...

I saw it! It says 10,000! Let's see how long can you hold your breath before posting.

Wait... who does this prize come from? Punch, or Counterpunch? Or Punch disguised as Counterpunch disguised as Punch disguised as Counterpunch disguised as Punch?

Cause if it were the later I'd fear it'd go like this:

Bromance? Do you want to be George Clooney while I'm Brad Pitt?

Seriously, congrats, man.

Ah, Counterpunch, he who sold me my MP Starscream. He who came knocking on my hotel room door with a veritable mob of Seibertronians following him like an army of CP minions. Of course, this is after he led them to the right room...in the wrong hotel. I wish I'd seen the faces of the poor souls in that room. However, upon the triumphant arrival of CP and his mob, much vodka was consumed, many pictures were taken in an attempt to determine exactly how many Seibertronians can share a bed before people start falling off (or just won't fit in the picture). CP even acted as director and cameraman for a very strange video featuring the drunken ramblings and TF-related innuendos of some of Seibertron's finest. Ryan would probably ban us all if that video ever saw the light of day. This is, after all, a kid friendly site. I will say, however, that when 20 people sitting on a bed are all doing their mixed impressions of BW Megatron's "Oooh yesss" things get a bit disturbing.

and it was all downhill from there.

CP: Congrats on 10,000 posts, man. Here's hoping BotCon09 is as wild and awesome (and wildly awesome, awesomely wild) as 08, even if the boxed set isn't quite as sweet.

Congrats, CP.

Lots of the recent additions to my collection have come from your recommendations, or stuff you were big on & talked up (e.g., Shattered Glass Megatron). Thanks, man. Keep up the great posts/commentary.

Feh, whatever...you and your damn mini-cons. That's the biggiest curse you left on me man. I hated them things until you had to do your big ole topic on them. I still hate them, I'm just trying to get any of the ones you might like out of the market before you can get your grubby mits on em and jack up dem prices on you!! Oh, and you may post more then Seibs himself, but you'll never beat me on join date beotch!!

Congratulations! Not just for the 10,000 posts, but also because you have contributed to most of the ulcers I've gotten reading threads on here with you locked in verbal combat with some poor schlub. I think I need to lighten up.

But hey, at least it's never been me.

Paging Cyber Bishop,

Please change my join date to June 9, 1969 on account of it being funny.

That is all.

Who would have thought that the Heisman Trophy winner would be such a crybaby.

PS: 10,000 posts is pretty sick.

It's gettin' pretty thick in here...

Seriously though, nice job CP on the 10,000 posts.

Now go outside.

Unless I'm totally pissed off, and then I'll make an exception. :grin:

10,000 posts! I'm surprised some kind of wormhole didn't open up to eat the site ending all contact with the TF world as we know it.

I owe you a big thanks for helping me decided on making a massive addition to my TF collection. Having the complete Machine Wars set in my collection is quite awesome.

I just realized I forgot to email you something! Ack! Now I need to go find that file.
