As I was checking in quickly to see how I was faring in the daily PAPOUP game, I happened to look over and notice that I was nearing 9000 posts here at Celticsblog.
9000 FREAKING POSTS!!!! Holy cow that's a lot of posts!!!
And for those that know me, that's a lot of words(okay I'm long winded) and a lot of time. A
LOT of time!! 9000 posts(I think that's the most posts for a non staff member) and I'm not even staff member here at Celticsblog moderating people and using up posts being....you know ....modly. That's just 9000 posts of my semi-pompous, semi-combative, semi-informed, semi-relevant, usually not very entertaining opinions.
Well, it occured to me that I probably could have been doing some other things with my time that was more constructive. So here's a list of those things:
- I could have gone to medical school, graduated, entered into research on infectious diseases and come up with a cure for Swine flu and made a fortune. Yeah, that would take on long time to do that but have you ever read one of my pots? Now multiple that by 9000. That's a lot of time too.
- Judging by the fact that I'm writing this post at 1:30 in the morning, my guess is the word "sleep" should be on this list so......
- Sleep
- I could have had a beer for every time I thought about posting a post. Of course, that would have meant that I would have drank 108,000 ounces more beer in my life or 375 more cases of beer or 6750 pounds of beer. Then again if I did this then maybe this would be a good idea.....
- Join Alcoholics Anonymous.
- I could have gone to a third world country and volunteered my time to helping others less fortunate than myself. Oh, that's right this is a list of stuff I would do, not Bahku. Never mind. Scratch this one.
- I could have gone back to school and gotten a law degree and become a CPA so that I could become Celticsblog's own paid resident expert on the NBA slalry cap. That job would be cool. Jeff could pay me to post posts on frequently asked questions about the salary cap, I could tell people if trades work under the cap, I could educate and correct people about their lack of knowledge about the.... What's that? Roy Hobbs already does that all for free!!! FREE?!?! Wow, don't know if that makes Jeff a slave driver or Roy a sap. Really? FREE?
- I could have joined the George W. Bush Fan Club and gone collecting door to door for donations to the George W. Bush Memorial to be erected in Dick Chaney's back yard. I mean there must be a ton of people with spare cash these days that would want to donate to that fund, isn't there?
- I could have gone back to college and gotten a Masters in Literation degree so I could come back to CB and figure out what things like FWIW, LOL, IMHO, PAPOUP, CBHOF and SOTOTT mean.
- I could have become a follower of the Boston Bruins.

Hello? Anyone home? I said I would become a Boston Bruins fan!!! Hello?
*Chirp* *Chirp* *Crickets* *Crickets*

- I could have been going to the gym, eating right, working out, losing weight, entering into marathons and triathlons and turning my mind and body into a temple of perfection. Yeah right! I can't even TYPE that with a straight face.
- Past 2:00 in the morning. Did I mention catching up on sleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep.
