All right, I've been waiting all night for a thread to pop up so that I can finally post my 400th and I am darn well NOT going to waste it on a Céline Dion post, dag nabbit!

It's waaaay past my bedtime (12:21 in the a.m.) so I am taking matters into my own hands. So voila, ta-dah, bells and whistles, three cheers pour moi, going to paint the town red, bit of hot nooky, et al, et al, et al.

Thanks folks for making the first 400 fabulous!

Jackie's already acknowledged my advancement elsewhere. She's not sure congratulations are in order. I didn't even notice it until I went back to the 401st post and saw that I had a new attribute ... hot damn!

This board makes me think outside my own enlarged square and face, head-on, how other people think. I agree with Bingley - it's great.

Congrats to us all.

The apteryx near the apiary did proclaim Congrats to us all.

Indeed! To you and to Celine's not so loyal compatriot, a hearty well done. Ain't it grand to start the new millennium as junkies, he asked provocatively.

Wowee, congratulations and adulations, all 'round!
Way to go, belM! I had wanted to post C.K.'s congrats here, but when I saw that everyone would have to go to page 6 to read it, I remembered someone's (tsuwm's?) plea to be kind and not make people go through that, but... I'm so very glad you-all did!

Can't wait to read your-all's next 400!

Ooh, Max/apteryx--if you'll reside in my aviary, I'll provide all the bees you can eat. Or is it the honey you're after? I know--I'll put an apiary in my aviary!

Now, now Jackie, let's not mix the birds and the bees. This is a forum about words. Haven't you called someone to bring you a ladder to get out of that chasmal gutter?

I never thought of that! Oh, no, my reputation is
ruined! Positively ruined! What a world, what a world!

Max said, being alliterative: The apteryx near the apiary did proclaim Congrats to us all.

Jackie and Jazz offered bees ... but the apteryx eats roots, shoots and leaves.

Sorry folks, understandable error. Max's alliteration referred to the apiary not an apiary.

Perhaps y'all can turn your undoubted research talents loose on what he meant ... You have 24 hours to resolve the issue!

Queen Elizabeth Park -- One of New Zealand's most picturesque cricket grounds surrounded by huge redwoods. Within the park is a cemetery with the graves of early Wairarapa settlers. Attractions include a bird aviary, playground, aquarium, gardens, skating rink, deer park and mini golf. A miniature railway and boating pond operate on weekends and public holidays. The park is also used by sports clubs for croquet, bowls and tennis.... A short drive from Masterton is The Apiary.
there you have it; aviary, apiary and cricket, all at once.

Hrmph--I refuse to admit to missing a clue that should ought to have been Capital (Kiwi)-ized, and Wasn't!

And, the apteryx eats roots, shoots and leaves.
No wonder they're extinct. No paternal instincts at all.
