HE DID IT! LUCKY REACHES 3,000

[Cooper]

What do you say to a guy who reaches 3,000 posts? Well, to start with congratulations! You have now entered a very select group of M4M "survivors" to reach that plateau... I can only think of one other member to reach that mark and that would be our good friend and moderator, deej.

 

Lucky, your messages have always been in good taste. You've put smiles on our faces and have kept us all well informed. Your contributions have been priceless and I look forward to hearing a lot more from you.

 

Keep up the good work!

Congrats LUCKY at 3,000 and I thought Cooper was old at 600;) It is always a treat to read your post on here}( Keep "up" the good work, hope your around for 6,000 posts:*

 

When in doubt I whip it out:+

Window on the NY world

 

Lucky,

Good on you for reaching the high plateau!. Of course I would expect nothing less from a guy who has his keyboard set up with a window on the NY world. Thanks for your wit, sarcasm, insight, and observations. Looking forward to the next 3000 (much to the consternation of some)

I'd say "Get a life" but I just noticed that I'm approaching 3,000 myself so instead I'll smile and give him a hug next time I see him.

If a lot of his posts consist of crap like "I am available to be Pope if Allah wills it," then I'd say posting 3,000 times is no great feat.

 

If you want to celebrate a man who was an extremely prolific author and whose writings actually have some value, read the superb new biography of Benjamin Franklin. And speaking of prolific, I'll point out that the author of that intensely detailed and scholarly biography wrote it while holding down a full-time job with CNN. When congratulating people on their writing achievements it's useful to have a broader perspective.

Most of us don't want to do that when we visit the message center. You see, this is a website about escorting and Lucky's 3,000 posts are of much greater value here than a book about Ben Franklin (unless, of course, Benjy has returned from beyond to sell himself as a hot bespectacled stud). Personally, I'd rather read 3 million posts from a nice funny guy like Lucky than one from a snob.

 

You couldn't resist yet another excuse to put someone down while informing us once again of your intellectual superiority. Hooray for you; you must feel great.

"Most" meaning the four or five people who've posted in this thread? I see.

 

>You see, this is a website about escorting

 

So all the threads on other issues, like the recent one on coming out to one's family (which you posted in several times), are really out of place here? Thanks for making that clear. Kind of odd that you didn't tell the author of that thread how out of place his question was, however.

If you're referring to me, who exactly was it asked you to read my post? Sure wan't me.

You amaze me, Rick, you really do. I'm astonished that you would complain about that sort of thing, considering the fact that you just did the exact same thing in a recent thread created by our friend Master123. What's with the double standard?

 

I know that Lucky won't mind my remarks about his posts. I know that because I remember the thread he created telling everyone how tired he was of FFF's posts. He isn't the sort of person who would criticize someone else for doing the exact same thing he does. Too bad we can't say the same about you.

Actually, it is an excellent book and a very good point about Ben Franklin is that he was far from a snob and placed his faith firmly in the "common people" so distrusted by the other founding fathers, such as Washington, Adams, Madison or Hamilton. Franklin organized the first lending library to make books available to those of modest means, and he also moved to Philadelphia in part to escape religious orthadoxy; it was partly in that regard, that he helped establish an academy to allow Americans to finish their schoolastic studies without the need to attend a religious based insitution or to travel to England to do so. He never held public office, other than diplomat, along among many of the founders, and he worked as a businessman and the then equivilent of a entrepreneur, always believing in the virtue of a civil society.

Was he not a member of the Continental Congress?

Like most great men, Franklin was a man of contradictions. Notwithstanding his affinity for the common man, his relationship with his wife, perceived as his inferior in intellectual terms, was very far from being the sort of partnership that existed between John and Abigail Adams, for example. He had an illegitimate son whom he later disowned because of his Tory sympathies -- although Franklin himself was a rather late convert to the Revolutionary cause. A fascinating man altogether.

RE: True Americans Are Lucky

 

Is it such a thrill and pleasure to be discussed in the company of such a great American as Benjamin Franklin Roosevelt. History has always been a fascination of mine.

 

Perhaps in my next 3000 posts, which I hope to get on board really soon, I can focus more on how the escort has been of benefit to great American leaders. Currently I am finishing the new book on JFK. Did you know his buddies actually HIRED prostitutes for him while he was president? Even presidents like to pay for it!

 

Anyway, one thing I can count on is that woodie will read each of my posts. For this, and the support of my friends here, I am grateful.

We can all count on that. He's such an attentive and slavishly devoted audience.

I'm delighted to hear you're a student of history. But it's a pity you never spent any time studying humor.

Nope, just the ones that are stupid or insulting. Wait a minute -- that IS each of them. Oh well.

Congratulations!! Indeed, you are a M4M survivor!

RE: En Fait

 

I'm not sure what you mean by "public office"--he was too old and ill to seek elective office in the new USA, and died shortly after its formation. However, in colonial times he was appointed Postmaster for the colonies, and he held various official posts with the colonial legislature in Pennsylvania.
