666...

666 was also my school ID number when I was 12, and I had to wear it each year for the school sponsored walk. 12 miles through the local countryside, 720 teenagers, all taking the same route. In retrospect we must have been bloody obnoxious for all the people with houses and farms on the route. It took hours to get everyone past.

I would like to give you an apple for your post, but that would screw things up.

Haha! I screwed it up!


Congratulations Michael and thank you for all your quality posts for Permies! Each one of those apples is a gift of appreciation or at least acknowledgement for your contribution.
Well done!

*Angry shaking of apples at the apple givers*

Now I need to go hunting apple cores! I foresee a long evening in the cider press....

As of now you still have 669, I could totally lose apples faster than you in the ciderpress haha.

Which is why I haven't set foot in there yet.

Michael, I got an apple core this week, it was so easy, it took no effort to do so.  You just need to fall under the roving eye of the right STAFF member.

I do so enjoy the laughs that I get from this site.

I've met many great people here.

Good luck on your quest to drop those unwanted "apples"


Peace
