Turn on the Turbo power, stand aside, brother Stu is going to come spinning into the Mansion!

Woo Hoo!. It cracks me up how different the word I say in my head when I see a strange name is from what it really is when you break it down. I never saw the turbo in his name.
@ibsturbo, What a wonderful asset you have been to the community. I’m almost glad askville shut down!

That’s because there is no turbo.

Ibstubro. (Say it out loud). I be Stu, bro.

Whatever we want to call him, he has been a funny and loquacious member here. I am particularly grateful to him for his expertise in identifying and valuing antiques, collectibles and bric-a-brac. (And pointing out that grandma’s collection of used hand-whittled briar pipes probably has no value.)

Happy 10K @Ibstubro!
So glad you are here to stir things up and keep this joint active.
The party in the mansion is just getting started and you are the guest of honor.

That wasn’t what I was saying in my head either @gailcalled. I was making up my own sounds. :-)

Congo rats! Well deserved, regardless of how his name is spelled!

Congratulations Stu! Welcome to the mansion.

I love your Calvin and Hobbs avatar. Congrats.

Congratulation!

Gosh time goes fast! I was thinking you had got to 10,000 mighty quickly and then looked at your profile to find you have been here almost 4 years, I was wondering whether you had been here 12 months yet. I really enjoy your posts @ibstubro and your sense of humour, you are definitely a keeper, but obviously you decided that for yourself : ^)

Bro! Nice job bro. Wicked nice job.

Bro

Fitting that my Mansion tour begin with my tongue firmly in cheek, and common confusion. <3

Thank ye, @ZEPHYRA. Appreciate the welcome. Now get packin…I’ll use your place while you upgrade. <3

Askville, schmaskville, @Judi. <3 Thanks, Lovey.

@gailcalled. “loquacious”, @gailcalled? Are you calling me a sexual pervert at my own roast party? <3

@chyna Sign of aging. Once I could whip them into a frenzy, now I stir.
But the arm is still strong
<3

Thanks, @filmfann. Your head appears to be a good egg. Always enjoy your input. <3

Good to see you here, @Seaofclouds! I remember a recent PM with another Jelly where I thought you’d gone missing. <3

Thanks, @talljasperman. I get a kick out of your off-beat questions and lack of ire. <3

Thanks, @Mimishu1995. Big of you, as I have given you some serious grief.
And might yet again in the future! lol. It’s all good
<3

You’re not delusional, @Adagio. When I rejoined September of last year, I had about 1,000 lurve. I burned through the easy lurve, fast. I still hope we’re on the same floor, wing or island. <3

COOKIES! Warm macadamia nut-white chocolate chip and triple chocolate chocolate chip, cause the @cookieman has arrived! <3

I’m your cookie man
stop me when I’m passing by
Yeah, I’m your cookie man
stop me when I’m passing by
See now all my flavors are
guaranteed to satisfy

@ibstubro It was my fault after all. Anyway, letting bygones be bygones is always the best :)

(“letting bygones be bygones”)

Crap. Whatever happened to FUN?

It’s a party. Post your FUN!!

Whatcha talkin ‘bout Willis ?

You shot right by me so fast I didn’t even see it. Damn I’m slow! Felicitaciones!

Congo Rats and Burritoes, Bro! It took you about as long as it took me. From now on there’s nowhere to go but up to the upper floors of the mansion!

@ibstubro always knows what to do
And never gets in a stew
Puts his thoughts on a plate
And gives them to you straight.

Let’s partaaaayyyyy. Félicitations mon ami.

Wowza! Congrats on the well deserved 10k! I like the way you think ‘Bro.

I have an embarrassing confession to make. I read your name as “I B Stu Bro” as in, you took IB classes.

Woohoo! Congratulations – well deserved!

You be Stu, bro? I be jca, sis. Congrats, Stu and welcome to the Mansion. Well deserved. Your posts are always an interested and level headed addition to Fluther! Party on Stu!

Congratulations! I’m glad you joined us.

Congratulations!

U b da bomb, bro! Congrats on the 10K. I’ve got the champagne and hot sauce to heat up the party. I keep them in separate containers, of course.

Cheers to you!

Stu-pendous! Wonderful having you here!

Delicious, @cookieman! <3

DYN-O-MITE, @Tropical_Willie. <3

Fortunately for me, @dxs, I’m not juggling Fluther with college. We’ll see you soon! <3

I think I’m gonna need a nap, soon, @Yetanotheruser. Just have someone make up a fluffy bed on the ground floor and turn the AC down low. <3

Very cute, @Stinley! Yer a poet and I din’t know it. <3

I’m the lucky guy today, @LuckyGuy. <3

Thank ye, @longgone! <3

I appreciate you feel that way, @jca. Thanks! <3

I’m glad, too, @wildpotato. <3

Thanks! @syz <3

A little later on, we might try mixing the 2, @picante. Like a Honduran Mimosa. lol <3

Thanks, @thorninmud. I appreciate your calm in all storms. <3

I’ve been busy, busy, busy this week so I haven’t been on Fluther as much. I’m late to the party, but I’m here now and I’m ready to lay out the spread. But first we must move up to the new Penthouse Dining Hall in the mansion.

OMG, @Kardamom! Someone has been listening. I’ll make a meal each, just from the appetizers! <3

Cool dude. I’ll buy a few rounds for you. You bring a great perspective to the mix.

Oh oh oh oh!!! Dang! Sorry it took me so long! Somebody get me a drink and some pancakes! Party time! Congras @ibstubro!!!!

Congratulations brother Stu. (seriously I had no idea what your username was about haha)
Cheers bro. :)

Yay…cheers and damn it, I tried to throw a party too but must have been a duplicate although I thought I searched and saw none. No matter…as long as you get your party!
Happy 10k stubby! lol

Congrats!!!!!

So… ridiculously… late…

Congrats, Broski. Have a Martini on me. ^_^

Thanks, @Adirondackwannabe. I enjoy your company. <3

I have to admit that I wondered where @Dutchess_III and @Coloma were, since they can largely be blamed for my being here. Thanks for the early open arms and hilarity. <3

Appreciate you attending, @Symbeline & @Unbroken! (It would have been cool if my party had pushed @Unbroken into the mansion!) <3

Just fashionably late, @Seek. <3

^^^ I see you have found a way to use the mysterious <3 symbol….hahaha. ;-)
Party on Garth! :-D

I decided to make it a signature on this thread, @Coloma. I should have made it ”<3 – R” Get it?

@ibstubro Uh, no. haha Clue me in? I must be dense tonight, or maybe it’s low blood sugar I need to eat, brain freeze. lol

@Seek Wow! That’s one mighty music player! Every party need one like that :D

Congratulations, thanks for hanging around!

Hey Bro, sorry to be so late but congrats on your 10K.

You add so much wisdom and good humor to this site. I hope to be celebrating your 20K, 30K and many more after.

Congratulations on reaching 10 kilolurve ibstubro.

Make a beautiful noise, @Seek. <3

Thanks for having me, @Haleth. Thanks to anyone that hangs around. <3

That’s an awesome thought @Buttonstc. If Fluther is around long enough for me to reach 30,000, we’ll all be golden. And thanks for the kind words. <3

Thanks, @Paradox25. See you here soon! <3

^^^ Knock knock….you never did tell me WTH <3— R means! :-(

Heart – R. Simply to add a dimension, not a any real value. lol

<3®?

Okay, @dxs. Heart regulator? Pacemaker?

It’s a trademarked <3. I don’t know if that’s what you were trying to do but yours looks like someone giving birth to an R.

I’m sorry I missed the party Stu. You hit 10K while I was in the hospital. I didn’t realize for several days after I came back. When I looked for your party I couldn’t find one. I really wanted to be here for it. It looks like a good time was had by all.

@Jonesn4burgers You bet we had a good time! We’re still picking sumac berries out of the carpet.

Sorry you missed it, @Jonesn4burgers. I’m afraid 20,000 might take me more than a few months. There’s probably still some leftover cake and lemonade in the fridge, if you want me to mine the back shelf?

Awwww, you’re sweet! Nah, I’m not begging for leftovers. I’m just pouting that I wasn’t here to be one of the many to congratulate you at the time it happened. I feel like a creep being so after it all saying thanks for being here, and congratulations for earning a well deserved spot in the mansion. Love you heaps, and I will be here when you make 20K. I’ll bring the strippers, three or four varieties.

Sorry you were in the hospital @Jonesn4burgers, but glad you are out and celebrating with us.

You were a no-show and both @Dutchess_III and @Coloma were late, @Jonesn4burgers. I couldn’t figure out what was going on!
Glad your back with us and in form, Jonesy.

Even though I’m late, I HAD to let you know it was NOT on purpose. I was terribly sick, and even after the docs sent me home, ick! I was running on one cylander, and that sucker was pretty shot. I am only just getting my head back from the grave.
I am so sorry you were left feeling neglected, because you certainly are a pal. :-)

Don’t give it a thought. I knew there was a reason. Fluther isn’t our lives, after all. Just glad your back in the swing.
