I'd Like To Thank The Academy ... and my mom, but not Jesus. I'm actually really surprised and slightly embarrassed that I'm the top commenter here. →[More:] I think I should take a meta-holiday now.

I can see being surprised but don't be embarrassed. You like it here and you enjoy posting and commenting, so what the hell? Own it, baby!

I'd comment, but I don't want to move up in the ranks.

OOPS!!!!

I see what you're doing there, chewie. Maximum gain for minimum effort. Very sneaky.

You're not invisible, but you're also not as consistent as chewie.

Wow. Am I dead?

Well, Queens County had a cable outage last night, otherwise I'd be nipping at your heels, limey.

See, Jon, you actually do stuff all day. I sit around, doing stuff on the computer (much of it remotely or over the phone since I cover such a large area) most of the (boring, dull, yawny) day.

Vampire-like, I only really do stuff that counts after the sun goes down (which is all too early up here).

Maybe I *am* dead.

(ps that's the first time anyone has ever called me a Limey - thanks!)

I wonder how the rankings have changed since jonmc got a job where he couldn't spend most of the day on the internet.

And don't leave us, chuckdarwin! We like you, we really like you!

muddgirl: downside (depending on who you ask, I guess) is that I'm not around as much. Upside (again depending on who you ask) is that since I'm out in the world beyond my porch, I have better material.

See, Jon, if my Master Plan ever comes together and I start getting paid well to do stuff I actually enjoy, I'll probably never write another post.

Oh, so we're just a placeholder, eh??? YOU DON'T REALLY LOVE US! BOOOOOO!

Aw, don't take it like that, dudette. I'm just sayin' that I don't think I'd even surf the net at all if I was super-successful.

It's funny: I read nearly every single metachat thread, and I feel like I comment all the time, but I really don't. Then again, I'm kind of quiet IRL, too.
