I want to be the millionth quip

YARNLADY's avatar

I hope Bendrew come up with something really fun.

Sarcasm's avatar

Every get is a modget.

Zen_Again's avatar

Will it be a quipillion?

holden's avatar

with booze.

holden's avatar

Also, we’re still about 6,513 quips off the mark. Isn’t a celebration now a little premature?

jrpowell's avatar

It will happen in the next few days. We need to prepare. Prepare your genitals.

forestGeek's avatar

There will likelyl be an epic Atlantis award for this occasion…though I like holden’s booze idea better.

wildflower's avatar

I think a thread dedicated to drunken fluthering would be the way to go :)

absalom's avatar

Where does one find the count(er)?

This is actually very exciting. The first million get!

holden's avatar

@johnpowell i’ll go get the vaseline.

forestGeek's avatar

@johnpowell – haha, I will make sure there is lube and a bottle of champagne on my nightstand…please keep us informed!

Sarcasm's avatar

@absalom There isn’t really a good way to see. if you hold your mouse over the bottom, a pilcrow (paragraph symbol, ΒΆ) shows up. click on that. Then if you look at the new url bar, you’ll see #quip99XXXX. Try and do that with the most recent post you can find. That’s the counter. example

JP: How does one prepare his genitals? Aren’t they always ready? I’m a guy.

PANCAKES!!!

I hope it will not be a question about toilet paper.

Let’s all meet at Geographic Center of the Contiguous (or Conterminous) United States, Lebanon, KS. (aka, middle of nowhere.) After a very large vat of Fluther punch, we could have a Fluther orgy. All of the angry people, stay way over there. The rest of us, let’s have fun.

lucillelucillelucille's avatar

With a moment of silence ;)))

AstroChuck's avatar

Almost a million? I say we should all almost celebrate.

jeffgoldblumsprivatefacilities's avatar

Maybe Bendrew could actually make and distribute some of that guacamole they’ve been talking about for so long. Maybe.

Cruiser's avatar

Everybody here gets a pie in the face!!

gggritso's avatar

@johnpowell Prepare my genitals? I hope it’s not for a swift punch :o

janbb's avatar

@johnpowell Yes, I was wondering what I was preparing my genitals for too – know your penchant for dickpunches!

pjanaway's avatar

It will happen by Sunday or early Monday I reckon.

janbb's avatar

Maybe we should all go away and do something productive for a week to celebrate?

rangerr's avatar

@jeffgoldblumsprivatefacilities I’ve PMd them both about that. I want mine.

Sarcasm's avatar

We’ve gotten another 4k in 9 hours, and those 9 hours include pretty much the slowest time of the day. I suspect we’ll get the last 4k within the next 5 hours (I am posting this as of 10:30am PST). Lets see if my prophecies come true. You may bow to me if they are.

…You may bow to me if they aren’t, also. I really don’t care what the circumstances are, you may bow to me.

gather at a central location on the planet and boogie on down!

jackm's avatar

I think Dayton Ohio is the most central of all the central places.

jonsblond's avatar

Does this mean Ben, Andrew and Tim will work as the Prize Patrol and show up to one of our houses with balloons, a camera crew and a Fluther tshirt!?!

I better fix my hair!

janbb's avatar

@jonsblond I got my Fluther t-shirt yesterday from my kids.

flameboi's avatar

fluther convention is on sight!!!
with one condition… can we start a bonfire to dance around it???

Dr_C's avatar

How about a fluther t-shirt collage? anyone that can get one in time or already has one should submit a pic.. there are some very creative jellies that an take care of the collage part i’m sure :)

Corporate_Avenger's avatar

How about a Shit On The New Members Day? Or has that already been done?

Sarcasm's avatar

I’d be up for that.

Looks like I severely overestimated the amount of posts that would happen on Saturday afternoon.

janbb's avatar

@Corporate_Avenger What is your problem with this site? Just about all of the Jellies have been very welcoming to new members. You seem to have nothing but complaints.

rangerr's avatar

@Sarcasm Now who are you gonna get to bow down to you?

Sarcasm's avatar

I’m accepting all persons who wish to bow to me.

dpworkin's avatar

:::sigh:::

janbb's avatar

@Corporate_Avenger You talk about a “Shit on the New Members Day” and then have a nasty retort when I ask you a question about it. Who is shitting on whom?

Corporate_Avenger's avatar

@janbb – If I were to take the time to really shit on you proper, you’d know it. Trust me.

If you were to look at you own answer, you might be a little more reflective. Perhaps it is because I’m still stinging from answers and comments like that and that I have received recently that were out line and uncalled for. Not that anyone really gives a damn, right?

janbb's avatar

Well, I’m sorry you feel unwelcome here. Most of us find the thrust and parry of wit and opinion intellectually stimulating, although at times, some of us we may go too far. Chacun a son gout.

CyanoticWasp's avatar

Gosh, the “Million Quip December” doesn’t have the same oomph that “Million Quip March” would have.

Can we all just take a break for a few months and come back then?

CyanoticWasp's avatar

@holden, yeah. Premature quipulation is not something to sneeze at. To joke at, maybe, but not to sneeze.

dpworkin's avatar

So, who’s keeping track? Do we have a quip-watcher-in-chief?

jackm's avatar

I already claimed the millionth, so we don’t need anyone to keep track.

dpworkin's avatar

That’s interesting, since the one you just posted is # 996943.

cookieman's avatar

How about a Million Cookie Munch?

jonsblond's avatar

Are we there yet? ....

Pull over, I gotta pee!

augustlan's avatar

I don’t know about you people, but I intend to get naked. ;-) Just trying to make up for being boring earlier.

cookieman's avatar

A Million Cookie Naked Munch the @augustlan.

AstroChuck's avatar

@jonsblond- Here. I have a Dixie cup.

jonsblond's avatar

@AstroChuck So kind of you, but I need a 20oz. I’ve been holding it since Barstow.

jrpowell's avatar

Getting close.

@Corporate_Avenger :: You are tedious. Please do me a favor and never respond to me again. I will return the favor.

And for anyone interested. This goes beyond this question.

janbb's avatar

Are we there yet? Are we there yet? I’m saving all my pancakes for this party.

dpworkin's avatar

@janbb you are tedious. If you say that one more time I am going to stop this car and you will be sorry.

janbb's avatar

Are we there yet? (Now what are you going to do?)

dpworkin's avatar

I am going to tell your father, as soon as he comes home.

CyanoticWasp's avatar

@augustlan, you now have me very, very nervous. What in hell will you do… to make up for getting naked, when that time comes?

janbb's avatar

—@CyanoticWasp Oh, you should see Augustlan at a party. She’s great fun – gets naked and cusses like a sailor.

CyanoticWasp's avatar

So… who got #1,000,000, anyway?

Edit: Oh, never mind. I just saw it… that is sad. Sort of.

augustlan's avatar

JP got it with “bag of dicks”. See? I knew there would be nakedness!

janbb's avatar

Oh, the letdown. Kind of makes me want to quit and do something productive with my life…..but I won’t.

Sarcasm's avatar

@augustlan IT’s not really naked if they’re covered by a bag.

jackm's avatar

So it happened. Whos was it?
