Did you notice? Jack is "SSCrazy Eights" now.
Congrats from across the ocean!
Thanks for noticing. I was actually hoping to hit it in 2009, but I slowed down some toward the end of the year and start of the new year.

Wow, Jack has been very active today. I noticed how close he was last night. Congrats.

Steve, what does he win?

Golf clap? Is that a special round of applause? 😛

(I know, you meant golf cap)

No. Golf clap. Expression used for how one claps semi-quietly on the golf course. I believe there is a line from CaddyShack about it.

I guess the reason why Steve voted for Golf clap is that Jack didn't get to the "SQL Olympian gods" yet. So he can go from Golf clap to applause to standing ovation. Right, Steve?

I guess that means you did not get the golf clap. Belated congratulations to you Lynn. (We need to start hanging plaques in the tent.)

(Sorry but my brain hurts and I just couldn't resist.)

Ooopsss!!

Just figured that Jack's already a "demigod".

Well, then I don't see any reason for Golf clab anymore... :ermm:

And it probably wasn't me. Now I feel bad. :crying:

I haven't made it for just forum responses though. Still working on that one. Got a long way to go though.
