    50

    Oh, nothing at all...

    ...I just thought my 3000th post was worth it's own thread!

    Yay! Beer, champagne, chocolate and strawberries all around. Let the partying commence!
    Fencing is my only PvP.

    50 is fun too! It shows you are just starting to have no life!

    Term papers often take a back seat to posting of fencing.net... I'm halfway through a 30-pager due tomorrow at the moment.

    And congrats on 3000 posts Zilverz!

    Congratulations! Hmm, let's see what I have in my stash... (rummages around...) I've got a few hundred bottles of wine in my cellar, some American champagne (so it's not really champagne, is it, now?), lots o' beer, mead, hard cider, some *lovely* single malt scotches, and only top-shelf hard liquor. Hell, I could host a party for the whole board for you. Too bad half of them are under-age.

    On second thought, maybe I'll just raise a glass to your accomplishment tonight.

    The US wasn't a signatory of the Treaty of Versailles, which is the document (reaffirming the Treaty of Madrid, 1891, which I'm finding very little information about now that I'm searching) that, among a number of other things ( :) ), prohibits many wine-producing areas other than the Champagne region of France from using the word champagne to describe their sparkling wine. Not being a signatory to the treaty, the US isn't bound by its conventions. Seems a bit weird that things like that come from differences in how different countries settled a world war, but such is life.

    Zilverzmurfen's 3000 post ---> whether or not Americans can call their sparkling wine "champagne."

    Yeah.

    Anywho, I beat you by a week, ZZ.

    I'll notch up one more of my very few posts to say that I have no idea how you people have that much to say. I read the boards religiously and just don't see where all the posts come from.

    The key is to make posts where you quote someone and comment on the quote without actually adding to the discussion.

    haha...get it...

    I have a thousand, which isn't perhaps as thrilling as ZZ's, however, it does disgrace most of the the other people on the board, so I'm happy.

    I'd offer you some Manishewitz, but I'd rather keep it all for myself.

    Yes.. I would also think that playing a lot of those silly games helps also!
