(Never mind the elephant; they’re just friends.)
What to do, what to do? We have just under 200 comments left to get to 100,000–certainly a milestone that deserves to be celebrated.
But it’s also getting close to the time for opening our annual Christmas Carol Contest; and if I try to manage them both at once, they’ll find me gibbering under the bed.
How about it? Wouldn’t you like to be compared to Baluchitherium, the largest land mammal ever to walk the earth? Just post Comment No. 100,000 and you’ll be promoted instantly to the rank of Baluchitherium. You’ll also win a prize–either an autographed book, or this cool T-shirt that says “If they have to kill us, they’ve lost.”
So… I think I have to open the carol contest either on Thanksgiving Day or the day after. That doesn’t leave much time to wrap up the comment contest. But we shall see…
(No, I am not going to pretend to be a mob of new readers all posting comments. We don’t do that sort of thing around here.)
