Welcome to the Tribe hiredman. And a big bravo to Booman…1000 strong. Can we cut it off now? Just kidding. I know you need 3000+ to make it work. On your way and seems I see new users here every day.
Well Hurray, I thought it would be this week (but it was earlier than I thought, wow!)and welcome to Hiredman.
So hiredman I just have to invite you to this diary to tell us about you, which is a ‘custom’ we have on this site. All other new members are invited also. http://www.boomantribune.com/story/2005/5/31/12331/6226
Welcome to Hiredman.
and it is a camping adventure on the beach and its a pot luck and and and susan is the keynote speaker and Boo the emcee. Okay, if not that anyone in the area interested in a meetup type gathering/picnic? I think it would be fun to meet the Tribe out here in socal.
WOW Amazingly Quick – Congratulations to BooMan on UID #1000 and to hiredman …
and many, many little congratulations to all BOO conTRIButors from the first hour to the present.
Many wonderful writers – great pleasure I enjoy them all!
Congratulations to BT! And a warm welcome to hiredman (and all other newbies who didn’t land on such a cool number)!
Thank goodness the folks at this locale specifically stated the new guy’s name. . . because. . . um . . . I’m really bad at reading charts and I thought his name was . . .”Country Creation Time”. (Really. Not kidding. Even tried to figure out the potential underlying meaning. . .)

I’d like thank the academy… and all the little people I had to step on to get here today… but I think it was the swimsuit competition that put me over the top…
Woo-Hoo! Bomman has arrived!
I meant BOOman…darn typos!
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh … and who better than hiredman! (Who, i might add, also works for free … evidenced by his hard work on the FOIA project.)
Welcome to hiredman!
And congrats Booman, for reaching this milestone.
Congratulations Boo; it’s all down hill from here. Kidding of course!
BTW, what did he win?
You’re a troublemaker, aren’t you. I can tell from your signature.
You can’t tell from the fact that they’re here???

but now we can officially look down on everyone with a user ID over 1000 (I kid, of course).
I no longer feel like a n00b13. In fact, I feel so little like a n00b13, will never spell “newbie” like that ever again!
Sure didn’t take to long…Congrats! The frog marches on.:{)
I am now stomping around the house singing, “The Frog is marching on” to the tune of The Battle Hymn of the Republic.
My wife is now absolutely certain I’ve squiffed my squib.

Welcome to Hiredman.
1000 users with no pond scum. What a feat!
Hey, I was going to use pondscum as my user name.So this is still the simpler more natural time that all will look back upon and sigh.
The little tadpoles are all growed up [sniff]
Congratulations to BooMan! Time for Yearly BooMan now!
Yearly Booman? Only if it is held in San Diego…lol!
