Hi, Mom! This is post #51869. I hereby proclaim the distance remaining to post #52000 (131 posts) to be "within shouting distance". At some further point, the distance remaining to post #52000 will be "within spitting distance". I'll let you know when we get there. You can rest assured that the determination of said "spitting distance" shall be made in an entirely random fashion, leaving no room for concern with the vagaries of logic, common sense, parliamentary procedure, or the indecipherable manner in which a game of ten-pins is scored. I may or may not be wearing a cap when that point is reached.
