Portugal.

Portugal.

and finally

Portugal.

Happy???

Bye, bye, Sparrow!!

I couldn't believe I was the 2nd most active poster.

I thought Wetdogeared would be streets ahead - you couldn't move for his posts urging his fellow Canadians to the silver medal!

And I'm surprised Ravenne isn't already in triple figures!!!

It is with great sorrow that I must end my relationship with my average. It was a good run though. As Patricia pointed out, I was already forsaking my obligations toward the average, and this Portugal post was the final drop. Alas, it was for a good cause, and I have no regrets.
I already see a new beginning. I might actually be part of a kinky group relationship, know only as the “active members”. I think it might actually be better than being passive.

Oh, and thank you for all those that mentioned Portugal. My nationalistic urges are appeased for the next 3 decades.

Did Marc move to Portugal?

In my defense, I had to answer a lot of questions.

You all know I don't say much around here.....

I think even 10 posts per year can be reasonably approximated as none at all (or any similar tiny value).

Oh, yes. PORTUGAL! (I feel particularly endowed to say that given that I've actually posted a few ebooks here in Portuguese although I couldn't read a single word of them.)

Heh heh. I said I was particularly endowed! I must be Florida. (giggle, giggle)

Please pick which definition of particularly you meant.

particularly adv

1. very much: to a great degree Did you enjoy yourself? No, not particularly.
2. more than usually: more than usually or more than in other cases The trip to the museum was particularly interesting.
3. specifically: as a specific example He particularly named you as one of the ringleaders.
4. in detail: with great attention to detail

Another triumph for Portuguese medical science. Just the mere mention of it makes people feel particularly endowed.

Uh, I choose 2. No, wait! 4, 4, 4! Cuz, you see I often sit and ponder my navel so this would seem a natural extension.

Ahem!
