Light At The End Of The Tunnel

9000. I am not overly superstitious, but I just know my life will make a turn for the better when I hit 10000. Everything will fall into place and I will be happy ever after. All you 10k+ guys always seems like you have a big smile on your face 24/7. I want what you have (one of the deadly sins) and I won´t hesitate to spam away until I reach the goal. There is a ghost in the Pelican machine and I have reason to believe it won´t deliver until 10k.

What can I say. I need something to hold on to. Something to look forward to. A light at the end of the tunnel.

Thank you.

At 10,000 you should change your user name to "Zeke."

Livi,

I think you're on the right track. You hit 9000 posts, and suddenly your English is no longer pigeon-ee. The future is bright.

I recon by the time you hit 10k you will realize that you spend too much time on the internet and you will go get a life. I have a long way to go.

That's pretty funny.

I don't think any particular number of posts is worth a damn when it comes to enlightenment, or anything similar. Including a ghost.

I'm pretty determined to hit 20K and go away. If I discover something, I'll log back on and let you know on the side. Maybe I'll be "ekez.'

Due to recent economic cut-backs the light at the end of the tunnel has been turned off!

That is good.

How about:

Due to a lack of carbon credits the light at the end of the tunnel has been turned off

In reality, the light at the end of the tunnel is just a freight train barrelling towards us all!

We're doomed!

I thought you were talking about the stock market. Good luck with the posting and the turnaround.

Blinded by the light,
revved up like a deuce,
another runner in the night
Blinded by the light,
revved up like a deuce,

Blinded by the light,
revved up like a deuce,
another runner in the night
Madman drummers bummers,
Indians in the summer with a teenage diplomat
In the dumps with the mumps as the adolescent pumps his way into his hat
With a boulder on my shoulder, feelin' kinda older,
I tripped the merry-go-round
With this very unpleasin', sneezin' and wheezin,
the calliope crashed to the ground
The calliope crashed to the ground
But she was...

Blinded by the light,

Some silicone sister with a manager mister told me I go what it takes
She said "I'll turn you on sonny to something strong,
play the song with the funky break"
And go-cart Mozart was checkin' out the weather chart to see if it was safe outside
And little Early-Pearly came by in his curly-wurly and asked me if I needed a ride
Asked me if I needed a ride
But she was...
Blinded by the light,
revved up like a deuce,
another runner in the night
Blinded by the light
She got down but she never got tired
She's gonna make it through the night
She's gonna make it through the night
But mama, that's where the fun is
But mama, that's where the fun is
Mama always told me not to look into the eye's of the sun
But mama, that's where the fun is
Some brimstone baritone anticyclone rolling stone preacher from the east
Says, "Dethrone the dictaphone, hit it in it's funny bone,
that's where they expect it least"
And some new-mown chaperone was standin' in the corner,
watching the young girls dance
And some fresh-sown moonstone was messin' with his frozen zone, reminding him of romance
The calliope crashed to the ground
But she was...
Blinded by the light,

Now Scott with a slingshot finially found a tender spot and throws his lover in the sand
And some bloodshot forget-me-not said daddy's within earshot save the buckshot, turn up the band
Some silicone sister with a manager mister told me I go what it takes
She said "I'll turn you on sonny to something strong"

Uh huhhh!
