Dear wolf:

Staking out this thread has led me to this reward: I get to follow you.

You extended your hand in friendship to me early in my time here in the cellar, and that means a lot to a n00b. Thank you. Common courtesy, you claim. Perhaps. But your witty posts almost always bring a smile to my face. Your arid, spare style is not common. Brevity, they say, is the soul of wit, which makes you one of the most soulful people I know.
I, on the other hand, clearly sold mine for more ink and paper. :p

BigV has given me the joy of chasing a nearly endless number of links to the ends of the internet. He has immense compassion for children and rocksolid conviction in the things in which he believes.

hey UT, how are we coming on that "# of threads killed by..." feature. i think it is fair to say that i killed this thread...dead. hey - i'm like Raid for good feelings.

I don't always agree with lookout but he knows his shit and is often very lucid.

Jag can be blunt, but he speaks his mind honestly, which is a quality I admire. Plus, he thought of something nice to say about lookout123.*

*I jest! Lookout is an excessively decent and compliment-worthy chap.

hot pastrami has gotta be like 2500 years old. he's so freakin smart, and funny, and moral. plus, his taste in music doesn't suck.

Well, I didn't know the light-posting tw. So, I did some research and it appears to be a second ID of LumberJim. So, I will praise him instead.

LJ is a studly fellow. Last year he showed me his Yule Log and I was impressed. :grinnylov:

Gwennie is a MILF!

MILF's are good, mmkay?

Well, I had to look that up and Wikipedia has a disambiguation page for MILF. I'm guessing that you don't mean "Moro Islamic Liberation Front". :blush:

Since BigMcLargeHuge has only three posts, I'm also guessing that I have a secret admirer behind a secondary ID. I like mystery. :kiss:

What can you say about someone with three posts? He's a hella great guy because 1/3 of the time he wrote about me! BigMcLargeHuge is intelligent, hard working, thoughtful, sexy, and provacative. :)

i revive this thread with a comment about the one and only XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOOXbruce.

the man is a very well rounded human. or well rounding, if you prefer. bruce is outstanding at showing compassion when it is due, calling BS when needed, providing factual support for his beliefs, researching issues we are to cut through our conjecture, welcoming the new and picked upon cellarites, providing a pick-me-up for the downcast, and finding many wonderful images to pass on to us via the UT-IOTD route.

thank you bruce.

Lookout has great taste in taglines...""What you do speaks so loudly that I cannot hear what you say." I love quotes, and I've added that one to my collection. I don't know Lookout that well, but anyone with good taste in quotes can't be all bad. :D

Sidhe

The lady often post statements and opinions that invigorate me to respond! Keeps it lively. :)

Warch is a very diplomatic person. Something to be admired. "Lively"... Now if that isn't diplomatic, I don't know what is. A damn sight better than narrow-minded and bloodthirsty, I can tell ya THAT! Thanks! ;)

Lady Sidhe,
Quoting one of my favorite comediennes, free and easy with the smilies, makes me remember why I am glad I found the cellar, and to top it off: anyone who can elicit this response from a heartfelt poem is more than OK in my book:

ROCK!

triple foot has an awesome take on photography and i am grateful that many of us got to join into the paintcan photography project.
