Unseen Celebrations...

[fatwoul]

...Because he almost never posts in the House of Leaves forum, choosing to mostly reside in the French Quarter, garp is rapidly approaching his 1000th birthday and so far as I can tell nobody from this forum has noticed.

That is all.

Thanks evrybody!
I'm very proud to become a topic subject...even if some of my posts were...strange (remember the famous "INDEX-DNE= IX" ? I don't even know what I meant with this one !!!)

I must imagine a tremendous 1000th post to celebrate the event !
Some ideas ?

What do you do if you are already married?

We just might have to wed someday.

that's the question!...and i have not enough posts to find an answer before the 1000th...except if i ask my wife! but i m not sure she have enough "french humour" to understand! she'll probably ask me to drop this damned book which is driving me mad for almost a year!

Comme je l'ai vu dans le forum VO (American Quarter ?), l'anniversaire de garp va se fêter en grande pompe. Qu'un de nos plus (le plus ?) distingué membre soit ainsi honoré n'a pas pu me laisser indifférent et je n'ai pu réprimer un sourire en coin au fond du couloir...<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

OK, I kinda knew what jaru said, but I thought I would run it through one of the free translators on the web for a laugh. I was glad I did:

“As I saw it in the forum VO (American Quarter?), the birthday of garp will celebrate itself in big pump. What an of our more (the more?) distinguished member is thus honored was not able to leave me indifferent and I was not able to repress a mouse in corner at the far end of the corridor...”

Heh.

<font face="Arial">When I get excited, I'm the same way: repressing the mice is out of the question.
