RuthC Posted February 10, 2005 #6 Share Posted February 10, 2005 The good news is you get a free beer.:) The bad news is it's given to you when you pay for the Penthouse Suite. :( Congratulations. But, ya know, you came here a lo-o-n-n-n-n-g-g-g-g-g-g-g time after I did. Don't you have work to do? :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bepsf Posted February 10, 2005 #8 Share Posted February 10, 2005 Blue Ribbon Cruiser? Does that mean that you're the fastest ship across the Atlantic? ...or a Pabst Beer drinker? ...or "Best of Show"? ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does that mean that you're the fastest ship across the Atlantic? ...or a Pabst Beer drinker? ...or "Best of Show"? ;) None of the above! Only that like many of us, he has too much time on his hands and spends it on these boards! ;) Blue Ribbon Cruiser is a designation for those posters with over 3k posts. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jhannah Posted February 10, 2005 #11 Share Posted February 10, 2005 I just had a mind-boggling thought. Most of us probably don't respond to every post. If we were to assume that each of us averages 10 minutes on the board reading for every post we make, then 3,000 posts means we spent 30,000 minutes on the boards. That's 500 hours! Nearly 21 days! Yikes!!! :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orcrone Posted February 10, 2005 Author #12 Share Posted February 10, 2005 Congratulations on gettibg your "Blue Ribbon". When do you go on the Zuiderdam? I've got another month and a half to go. So when you return from you B2B I'll be down to a single week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, ya know, you came here a lo-o-n-n-n-n-g-g-g-g-g-g-g time after I did. Don't you have work to do? :confused: Shhhhh.... Don't tell my boss.:eek: Actually, I'm a software engineer and when the system has to be recompiled and linked it takes about 10 minutes. So I usually post either then or during lunch. Aside from which my boss picked my brain when he went on his first cruise this past summer.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ekerr19 Posted February 10, 2005 #15 Share Posted February 10, 2005 I'm just an excellent multi-tasker! I can type on the boards, talk of the phone and do all sorts of other things at once. Of course, I always keep two windows open so I can click back and forth and at least give the appearance of working hard. ;) I am compiling the most boring information right now - so in between looking for sources and doing web research, I can post. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I used our companies internet it blocks all types of chat boards. With AOL and their firewall my company cannot see what I am looking at on AOL.
