Congratulations to ANT - Human Status

Fellow Chimps, Monkeys, King Kongs and Neanderthals,

I would like to take this time to congratulate ANT with an incredible feat that nobody in the history of WSO has accomplished = HUMAN status.

While there may be a few users that join him soon (Eddie, happypants, myself and Compbanker), I would be lying if I told you if I thought anyone would ever reach this status. Back in the day, the maximum # of bananas to reach the highest rank was 1,000 (King Kong).

While it has gotten a bit easier to collect bananas with the peer review and wso credits system, this is still an incredible feat. ANT has been a consistently generous member over the years giving countless hours of great advice.

So ANT, thank you for your contributions to WSO - the community definitely would not be the same without you.

-Patrick

Congratulations Anthony, you're an active and passionate contributor and I've appreciated the chance to get to know you more over the past year.

I am permanently behind on PMs, it's not personal.
 
BrokenBananaAbdel, maybe you should aim to become "The Addict"

Have you seen this? I was trying to be nice, didn't insult anyone and yet, people throwed monkey shit at me.

 

ANT, he's so hot right now.

Under my tutelage, you will grow from boys to men. From men into gladiators. And from gladiators into SWANSONS.
 

Oh boy, if he shows up to the next Happy Hour, everyone's going to yell, "Speech! Speech! Speech! Speech!"

Nefarious > Anthony

;D

You're born, you take shit. You get out in the world, you take more shit. You climb a little higher, you take less shit. Till one day you're up in the rarefied atmosphere and you've forgotten what shit even looks like. Welcome to the layer cake, son.
 

Its going to be slow around the office for the next few days.

Translation: ANT, I am coming for you.

Thanks guys. I've been a lurker on this site for nearly 4 years and a poster for over 2. This is a great site with some great people. I consider myself privileged to have been able to meet many of you in person and I look forward to doing so as the time goes on.

And how long have you been planning that little poignant vignette?
