What does that mean when they say "You have been awarded a trophy"?

[Gaer]

I keep seeing this when I click on the little bell. What does it mean? This trophy: Is it solid gold? Arethey going to mail it to me?Is it because I'm so wonderful? (ha,ha!)

 

[hollydolly]

Yes you'll get it fed-ex tonight it will arrrive from Greenland by donkey within one hour.... you will then be expected to smelt it down, cash it in and as a newbie share out the proceeds between those who you've spoken to most on the forum since you joined...

 

[Gaer]

I see! It's been many years since I last smelted!

 

[jujube]

Are the smelt running? Nothing like fried smelt, a spelt salad and a card game well-dealt.

 

[jujube]

Oh, and the well-dealt card game must be played on a felt table with a Celt. Afterward, you can have a tuna melt and loosen your belt.

Jeez, am I bored or what?

 

[fuzzybuddy]

Well dealt, from a smelt eating Celt, wearing a felt belt, while the snows melt..........

I just wanted to thank the Academy for my trophy.



Oh, yeah. I also want to thank the director.......... er, the cast & crew........................ah, my mother and father? That Celt?

[Gaer]

Yes, This is the silliest thread, ever! Yes, Pipes freeze in New Mexico but I hail from Montana, Colorado, Alaska!

Pipes freeze and burst even in Orlando. January '85....it got down to 19 and the water pipe going into our shed cracked. Another line froze but didn't break, thank goodness.

It was a cold winter and we had an old diesel Mercedes and no garage. You couldn't get "winter diesel" in Orlando and they just laughed at me at the auto parts store when I asked where the dipstick heaters were. I had to stick a lightbulb on an extension cord under the hood and even then I couldn't get it started some mornings.
