Congradulations. JB must be feeling pretty giggy right now....like Sir Edmund Hillary getting ready for the final assault ON Everest oR Lindberg getting ready to land in Paris. Even Sir Stonesalot, in all his smugness, won't top that mile stone. |

just tossing in my $.02 on the topic. I'm one of those who has seen about 30 shows beginning in 1981. All through the years I considered it pure fantasy to be able to see them in a small venue. In fact when I plunked down $350 to see them at the MGM Grand (about 10,000 seater) in Vegas in '94 (smallest show they had played, aside from warmup shows since 81) I thought that would be the most intimate experience I'd ever have with the Stones. So when the miracle of miracles happened last year and I wound up scoring $50 tickets to both the Oprheum and Wiltern on the same day - well, let's just say I felt the Gods were smiling on this ol' fan that day. Smugness? Don't think so. I consider myself a rare, died-in-the-wool fan (like most of those on this site). The Stones have been THE most important interest of mine (aside from family) for 25 years. I regarded my luck in scoring theater tickets as somehow fair payment for my quarter-century of devotion....

Why would I want to top it?
3/4 of JBs posts are twaddle. Only about 1/4 of mine are twaddle. If we talk QUALITY over quantity...I have JB beat by a mile. He can't compete with me when it comes to quality. I'd much rather be considered the smart, witty, cool guy that I am, than the dingbat that JB is considered.
Oh yeah, don't forget...Bono is a twat. |

Yes...LOL...if....but in this case we ARE talking about quanity, are we not? That's the point I think.

I'm quite looking forward to The Rollover.

I'm chiseling a monument for the guy as we speak.
I call it..."The Ego".
He's the only guy I know who has a bigger ego than me. |
|

| Mother baby |
A monument.....??? Well we're not going quite that far, but we are closing the office early that (Rollover) day, have a few beers or maybe even crack a champaine bottle in honor of this most remarkable event....
Oh yeah that reminds me, I'll have to instruct the secretary to pick up the balloons, confetti and streamers.
If I'm not mistaken I still got some firecrackers left over from the 4th, have to check the crate.

Firecrackers?
Those things are against the law in PA. I think I can even get a ticket just reading about them. |

SS! I have the BEST story for you!!!
It involves me, my husband, our visit to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, AND Bono! LMAO...
I'll have to write to you later and fill ya in!
(You'll be sooooo proud...) |

SS-I'm disappointed ...we are" friends" and you should be sharing in my accomplishment. |

JB, your kids are something to be proud of.
Posting 5000 messages on a board is nothing. Stop obsessing about minutia. You sound like Jerry Seinfeld. |

I never had my eye on your # of posts. I was aiming to pass Max and his semi-retirement propelled me ahead. I am not comparing this with the birth of my children, but it is a major accomplishment and I think you should have offered me a prize as you have for others with significantly less meaningful accomplishments. |

I think you are becoming unhinged, jb.
No, seriously. Reading your recent posts has been eeeeeever so slightly disturbing.
Take a break for a week or something, buy lots of ice-cold margaritas or whatever your drink of choice is, have fun, take the kids out somewhere.

Well, if you want it to try and not affect your life, why not step back for awhile? You're going a bit nuts on the board here. I know you love the attention, good or bad, but really, man. Take a break, for your own sake, huh? It's gettin' ugly. With your so-called social 'need to post' on hold for a little while, you can devote that time to relaxing instead of panicking about work and your *ahem* other personal affairs.

No, it's not about offensive, it's about just wackiness. A five-post conversation with oneself and a demand for some sort of reward for reaching 5,000 posts seems a little wacky, even for you, and I know you've got quite an offbeat sense of humor. I'm saying that you look like you're coming unglued. So if you are, take a break. That's all.

Truthfully, ever since the JT affair, I have had a hard time taking the band serious. On top of that, the continuing decline in Keith and Ronnie's "re-lapse" offer very little hope for the future. Top that off with a god awful remix of SFTD and Keith following his daughters' wishes to play with every pop group imaginable, and yes, I would say i am coming unglued. Remember TSXY, you have only been a fan for 2-3 years, guys like me are seeing their heros for some 30 plus years fall apart.... |

By the way, what's up with the secretary thing? You sure are posting an awful lot. I'm assuming that said secretary is sitting on your lap or underneath your desk.

Well I think they're illegal here in Maine too. But I've never heard of anyone being prosecuted. I wouldn't know how to celebrate a Fourth of July without them. |

Yes and No, Xyzzy...
All I can say is that if I were fortunate enough to have been able to snag a ticket for a club show...I would be dancing in a cage or ontop of a table with my ticket in my teeth. (Talk about scoring!) I don't think I would have been snobbish, but instead blissfully happier than hell 
Being that that hasn't happened...I am very happy and slightly jealous for those that have been LUCKY to have had the opportunity. BUT...only for the true die-hards that have been blessed. NOT the corporate/celebrities/have-no-fuckin-clue-what-song-was-just-played assholes that waltzed their ways into the clubs. Now that, is what I consider to be snobbish. |

When jb's going at it with his secretary, he's thinking of joey? That's a step up from Susanna Hoffs. |
