You said it all! Feel the same wayTo be perfectly honest, when I did this one I had you in mind for it. And as I was watching the posts get closer and closer, I saw that you got 44998 and realized that you would not be able to post until after. Then it hit me like a ton of bricks! I've given out 36 avatars so far sitting in the wings waiting and then posting them, but I've never actually won one. I assumed that it would be more special to everyone else who didn't know what was coming. And then I realized that I really liked this one and that 45K was a very special milestone. So I just said **** it and posted.
Well. I have to say, that there is something very special about actually winning one. It's not about finding out what the avatar is. It's about becoming a milestone yourself in something very special that when it's over, will probably never be duplicated.
So I just want to say what an honor it is to not only have provided these little comical incentives to post on, but to have also earned one for myself. I'll wear it proudly and it will always remind me of what a special group of random, pantless, bizarre, funny people this whole derailment project helped me meet.
Thanks to everyone for the journey so far. Now drop the pants and post like it's 49,999!
