I see I hit 1000 on my cowboy hat streak today. I feel like Lou Gehrig, even though it's more a testament to the fact that I have no life than my athletic skills. I'm also short 1,130 days. I hope I never have to make one of those speeches:
I'm used to hearing the Gary Cooper version from Pride Of The Yankees. I had no idea Gehrig had such a strong New York accent. He was a native New Yorker. I love it.
Congrats! The soul of SN users. You've had a giant and extremely positive influence on this place.
How come you beat @koob in terms of number of days?
I’m feeling all the more motivated to show up every day. I only have 239 days and I’m already in 7th place!
@k00b is a well-known sandbagger. Shit work ethic.
(Also, it's k00b, with zeros, not koob).
I think he had some coding crisis that knocked him out.
If you're too humble for Gehrig, perhaps you'd accept being the A.C. Green of Stacker News.
I think you will be SN's Cal Ripken.
I promise to stick around well past my usefulness and show up even when I probably shouldn't
I have already paved that path
In that case, you've boxed me out
What in the world?!? Ahh the top cowboys in hiding aren’t reported in the newsletter anymore
I thought mine was visible now that I had to reveal it to show stackers I have attached wallets? I'm not really sure. I get mixed up.
That’s awesome
congratulations!
1000 is pretty darn impressive. Also, great day for the milestone.
Thanks, but it does have sort of a participation award kind of feel, or maybe one of those Lifetime Achievement Awards they give out to the actors who never get an Oscar. And....I gave it to myself 😀
Didn't you go on a cruise during this period? That's really impressive! I think I topped out around 4-500.
Cruises are boring. Lots of down time
Glorious!
I wish you add many more Ks to it.
