Looks like my coronation will occur soon. You are all invited to the subsequent bash, as soon as the formalities are completed.

I'm due to be crowned!

Coming from my father, those words were a threat. "One of these days I'm going to crown you!".

Also, despite the coronation, you'll also always be a hero to me.  You have my thanks that you made the milestone the way one should, not spewing a thousand posts of crap, a feat far more easily achieved as evidenced by some that manage not to get banned on the way there.

You are all invited to the subsequent bash, as soon as the formalities are completed.

I might decline as my wife seems to disapprove of events involving overt debauchery.

Thank you, Halc, for your kind words.

I assumed you were off to the dentist...

Well BC, I don't think I would be contemplating a bash after dental torture. I have in the past had two root canal+crown jobs done. Unfortunately they disintegrated in short order and I doubt I would go down that road again. Now I will have to purchase a large quantity of virtual beer to keep Alan well hydrated.
