My Latest BIG Accomplishment!

MyLot Exclusive #39 I finally did it! I don't want to brag or anything but I finally cracked the MyLot Ten Comment Barrier! After countless decades and 139 Posts, I have ten comments! On one post (The World Inside)! This is just like when I won my first Nobel Prize. Or my tenth Pulitzer. Or my nineteenth People's Choice Award. It's nearly as good as the first time I got my picture on the cover of the Rolling Stone. I can't tell you how happy it makes me. Of course, there are some downsides. I assume there's going to be a huge ceremonial dinner tonight in my honor and that's cool. But what am I going to wear? My favorite tux is at the cleaners...Wait! I just washed my favorite bowling shirt! Whew! OK, now I have something to wear. But who's going to host this dinner, now that Bob Hope is gone? Stephen Colbert? OK, he'll do. I guess. But now I have to remember to call him Stephen and not Steve because I don't want to spend my big night hearing, "It's Stephen, NOT STEVE!" over and over and over again. So tonight is covered. But what about my Bucket List? You know, at my age, there's not a lot left on it and now that I have to cross off, "Get Ten Or More Comments On MyLot," it's not much of a list anymore. This is where you come in. All of you, my Eighty-Million Loyal Dedicated Daily Readers, need to give me new Bucket List goals. Let's fill that list up with good ideas! I assume I'll see you at the dinner tonight but I also assume that there will be an open All You Can Drink Bar, so leave the Bucket List suggestions here because I can see that everything will get fuzzy. Stuff will be lost and forgotten and that's OK for most things but not for my Bucket List ideas! Now, if you'll excuse me, since the MyLot Limo will be here to pick me up at any minute, I have to go get ready. This is a big night, I might even shave. Bye and see ya at the dinner!
MyLot Exclusive #38 Can you picture yourself living in a giant skyscraper with 800,000 other people? In a place where refusing sexual advances is a...

myLot is really going all out for you, aren't they? Not that I'm jealous. I mean, the gold bar was nice and all. It's kind of heavy to lug around but makes a great conversation piece sitting there on my mantle. Still, a dinner would have been a nice touch.

@xander6464 Sorry, the dinners are now awarded in lieu of the gold bars. And you know what, I think it may really be a brass bar. Are you supposed to have to polish gold?

@DWDavis Yes, you are supposed to polish gold. But not very often. Once a year is plenty. So I don't get a gold bar? That's very unfair.

I'm going to get a gold bar, too??? Awesome! And don't worry about the dinner. I'll get you one. I heard that I'm also going to be named CEO of MyLot for six months...Well, it's sort of honorary but I will get you the dinner you should have already had!

Congratulations! Just don't get all fussy and snobbish. Perhaps you can share with us your secret for finally accomplishing this great achievement. The next step perhaps is to go viral all over the net. Do you have your acceptance speech ready for your big achievement award? Don't forget little folks like me

Thanks! The secret is just hard work! And living right! I'd go into details on that, but, ironically, Mylot won't allow it. And don't worry about the speech. I'm thanking all the little people. If there's time.

I did see you and I tried to get over to you but there were just too many people. But don't worry, even though I'm a big MyLot celebrity now, I'm not going to change. I'm going to keep all my old friends.

@xander6464 That's good to know. I've seen where people become so big of themselves they toss their old friends by the sidelines.

I am surprised, because I find your posts good and well written. Their only shortcoming is that they are often a bit long. I have the same problem, and I make efforts to shorten my posts, as many members do not like to read long discussions. This said, for tonight it is limo and champagne for you. Cheers !
