It has already been done. A guy wrote a book about that. But I don't think it has been translated to english. What a shame!

It sounds like Jasper Carrot's insurance claim sketch, where he reads out Australian motor insurance claim forms:

"The accident occurred while I was waving at the man I ran into last week."

"I was driving in wiggly lines towards the tree, but I still couldn't avoid the head-on crash."

The manufacturers tend to be more conservative in their estimations. Parkers is independent and tests the vehicles for the most accurate reading possible. I've not managed to get 60 mpg out of the Focus, but they quoted 60. I'd be happy managing that, as it means less of a fuel bill.

Well, MY fuel bill amounts to just 0 anyway. :P Ah, the benefits of a good public transportation system.

Nah, you have to pay for tickets, which is basically paying for fuel for the transport.

Nope, my company pays for the ticket. :P
Also, it's just 60 Euros per month, so a lot cheaper than having to refill the car every two weeks.

However, I plan to cycle to work in the near future. It's 15km, so it should take me about one hour. That's about as long as I need now, using public transportation... only problem is: Where do I change my sweaty clothes after I got to work?

Yeah, I used to do that. Can't do it now, as 35 miles to work is too far to ride a bike in.

It sure is.

I go through most of a tank in a week. The Focus got me 55-60 per gallon, being advertised at 48.9 in the manual. According to internet sources, the new car can get 67...

Yeah, the behemoth that I drive gets me 16.5 miles per gallon which is about 26.5 km per gallon. I would like a new ride, but buying anything now won't make up in fuel savings verses a car payment and higher insurance.

Today I'm celebrating 12 years on Newgrounds. I've been visiting the site for probably more like 13 or 14 years but this account is now officially 12. I feel so old...

I have finally reached Level 27!

Ummmm, how do I level up?

Happy Birthday reverend. 29 isn't so bad because 30 is the new 20 so I'm told.

Wow. I smell a ban.
How is this even possible? Does the day have enough hours to get to such a high post count in such a short time?

Damn you, Haggard. It's 2013 already. Not 2012!

And once again I manage to brighten the party by sheer stupidity! :)

Not too long now until Maiden.

A job is a job. You'd be managing that place within weeks :P

I'd much rather not work in that shithole. Imagine all the abuse you get just because you work for the Job Centre. And besides, I'd try and be a good worker unlike them so clearly they won't take me on.

This show could have done with a longer notice but failing this for you there shall be the world tour for their upcoming album.

Yeah, I'm looking forward to that already.

I once heard it could be out in February but I'll take a more realistic prediction and say sometime in Summer.

I understand what you're saying there. One side of my grandparents both left in the 90s so I didn't get enough time to know them and to be with them whereas the other side of my grandparents have been around for all 23 years of my life so far.

I was lucky enough to have 4 grandparents until 12, 3 until 23, 2 until 30 and still 1 today. I've come from good stock, apparently.

My first grandmother left when I was only 3 so as you can see, I hardly had any time to get to know her.

You passed 44000 B/P! Congrats!

Yeah, let's see if I can help to keep things going.

I hope so!

That long? Cool, the tomatoes can start to rot!

Well, hopefully longer than that. ;) And could you throw cabbages or something? I always hated tomatoes.

Yeah, but working 50 hour weeks should not prevent me from spending 10 minutes catching up here every day or two.

Maybe not, but I wasn't even speaking of your work week when I said that.

I've just bought a 9 year old one, but it's worth it. Maybe a temporary one, if something better comes along. You never know.

So long as it takes you from point A to point B and it's got a CD player to crank 2112, am I right? ;)

I kinda regret not seeing them last year, but at least I had (what I considered to be) a good reason. Hopefully I'll get another chance, eventually.

I don't think they will stop touring anytime soon. But if they stop, than this year's show sure would a nice way to end this. They have giant flags/pictures of Eddie and his various reincarnations. It's a nice journey through Maiden's history.

You passed 70,000 Saves. Way to go!

Level 55. Groovy.

I wanted to say that before Coop had the chance this time.

level 39

Next milestone passed 23,000 EXP. Not really a big deal though >_<

You passed 87,000 B/P! Congrats!

Congrats on that. I am 50 days away from my next milestone. And that WILL be a big deal! ;)

Recently (upgraded?) from a shotgun to a rune like wooden/clay sword. Seriously what the hell is this thing and why is it a higher level than other icons? I won't claim to understand nor agree with the weapon tiers.

Level 50 and finally the gold levels. Finally!

So, is this topic dead? What a shame. But I guess ending this topic with a final congrats list is just fine.

I was going to make a similar post once the LUL fell off the first page. (Which is something that I've NEVER seen happen before and was getting dangerously close to, before you posted.)

I think some users will still come here to post their achievements to some extent, though periods of a day or two (or even three now) without a post is becoming more common. I'll continue making congrats lists, so long as I'm active on the BBS and there are still achievements to recognize.

Yeah, I am active on the BBS for some years now and the LUL was always among the top few topics...

As long as there's something to reply to, I will post here every now and then. So, if you continue posting, I have a reason to continue posting as well. WIN-WIN!
