My One Year Anniversary on NamePros!

[WebForging]

December 29th, 2004 was my first day on NamePros and I registered on the 30th. To celebrate a year here I want to wish everyone at this extra-fine online community the best, and to tell you what I think of this place.

NamePros is really something special.

The staff is extraordinary and extremely involved. The staff here at NamePros ~ they talk the talk and walk the walk, and they do it extremely well.

The forum itself is the absolute best example of a forum. Intuitive, well-organized, with features galore that enhance the experience and never bog it down. And NP$ ~ wow! The currency of this board is a big part of the lifeblood of the commerce that goes on here...it's all just too cool for school!

Finally, the members are what make it all happen here, fostered by the staff's guidance and the foundation of the forum itself. I get such a kick out of meeting youngsters and oldsters from Wisconsin and around the world here. People with all kinds of skills and all kinds of goodwill in their communications and dealings with other members.

Two things I'd like to ask of you for my one year anniversary here (which falls on my birthday by the way):

- Go out and recruit another member so the NamePros community is well over 25,000 strong starting the New Year!

and

- Share a joke (and I get to use the jokes somewhere) and/or share a wish for the New Year ~ for this community or for all communities ~ in this thread.

Peace & a Happy, Healthy and Prosperous New Year everyone!

Regards,
Keith

Few jokes from a mag I get every month.

A book never written: "Running out of gas" by M.T. Tank.

A book never written: "How to shoot a B.B. Gun" by Rick O'Shay.

Unable to attend the funeral after his father died, a son who lived far away called his brother and told him, "Do something nice for Dad and send me the bill".
Later, he got a bill for $200, which he paided. The next month, he got another bill for $200, which he also paided, figuring it was some incidental expense.
Bills for $200 kept arriving every month, and finally the man called his brother to find out what was going on.
"You said to do something nice for Dad," said the brother. "So I rented him a tuxedo."

A police recruit was taking his final exam when his instructor asked him, "What do you do if you have to arrest your own mother-in-law?"
The cadet thought for a moment and then said, "Call for backup!"

Patient: Doctor! Doctor! I think I swallowed a camera!
Doctor: Come back next week and we'll see what develops.

Happy Birthday! </late> =/

Returning from an exhausting day at work, a man plops down on the couch in front of the TV. ‘Hey, darling,’ he shouts to his wife, ‘Get me a beer before it starts.’ His wife sighs and fetches him a beer. ‘Actually,’ says the man as she’s walking away, ‘I’ll probably need another beer before it starts.’ She looks cross, but fetches another tinny and slams it down next to him. But after gulping down both beers, the husband is still not satisfied. ‘Quick, get me another beer,’ he says. ‘It's going to start any minute!’ ‘No, I won’t!’ screams the furious wife back. ‘Is that all you're going to do tonight? Drink beer and sit in front of that TV? You're nothing but a lazy, drunken, fat slob – and furthermore...’ ‘Damn,’ sighs the man. ‘It's started.’

There's your joke... no offence to any women. >_<

Happy Bday WeBForging.

Cool how you took the time to do this posting.
Cool that you sent out "NPpresents" too. Though it makes me feel like a scab to receive and not give!

ZestNetwork ... the punch line to your joke is... lack of evidence.. none the women would go 1st becuase they would have to reveal their age.
Is aone the 1st things you have to learn about wemmins! Don't pick on thier age or their weight and they are always beautiful.

Dang sad I can't think of a single joke to tell !


But I can wish WebForger a bday so great it over shadows New Years and carries him right through the holiday.

Thanks again, everyone. A heck of a party! I appreciate the jokes and good wishes and the donations to charity. Great NP anniversary/birthday and launch into the New Year! God Bless Us, Everyone!
