Canuckus Deploracus Loc: North of the wall

I have just noticed that I hit my ten thousandth post....At roughly a minute a post (Some are faster..Some are slower) that is about 170 hours (or a solid week) of my life spent on the OPP... And it doesn't include the PMs I have written... Or all the time I have spent reading the various articles and responses from other posters... Or chasing down information on the internet to verify/debunk what I've seen... Or LMAO at some of the things posted here...

I've learned a lot here...

And have had a lot of fun...

Met some really great people...

And had a few confrontations...

Lost my temper a time or two...

Realized a few things here and there...

Even changed my mind once or twice

This past week has been particularly great as I have been pretty down about a number of things... The OPP has helped to keep me grounded...

Just wanted to say thanks to the whole OPP community... Lefties, righties, and those stuck in the middle... Y'all are really great folk.. And I hope that if I've ever offended you, or behaved less than gentlemanly, that you'll forgive me and remember that we are all in it (life) together

Do not leave us, young Canuckus, as OPP needs a token Iceback for balance.

BTW, in what part of Canada (or China for that matter) is "y'all" commonly uttered

Big dog

Personally I enjoy your company here. Your wit and cool head make a big difference.

Hug

You are the cement that holds us together. Please keep up the good work.

Armageddun Loc: The show me state

As a one time heavy hitter on the Opp, I have returned in a much less active participant. However, in a short time, I have been back I have come to appreciate your posts. I admire your "Cool Hand Luke" approach and in-depth thinking. You help greatly to maintain a balance. I really like the way you call i***ts, i***ts with a gentlemanly fashion.

Yeah, I can see a future job for CD in somebody's diplomatic corps.

Maybe in Saskatchewan

Saying goodbye?

My ability to convey a message has just become suspect

No intention of leaving... Just wanted to express how very much I enjoy the OPP...

And all its fine folk

For balance

Seems to me we icebacks are there to keep on top of things with you southerners

Y'all is common throughout the prairies in Canada.. And in most small hick towns

Where I'm from we refer to it as "the ice that never melts"

Thanks...

I have always enjoyed civility.. And seeing how far it can be pushed

Glad to have you back, hope wall is well

Hey Bite your tongue

Alberta = Texas

Saskatchewan = Oklahoma

(think it was Archie who told me about Oklahoma )

I knew about your feelings for Saskatchewans and Newfoundlers...so, it worked, as I was trying to get your goat.

Canuckus Deploracus Loc: North of the wall

Hmmm... You do appear to be doing this on purpose...

Saskatchewans are decent enough folk...Not there fault their family trees don't branch much I mean, when you've got to drive four counties over just to meet someone you're not related to your cousin starts looking pretty good And they're a good solid blue province

Newbies on the other hand
