    :p This is captnslur and I was pleased and impressed for about 15 seconds and then ammused for the next 30.

    Nice thought though. thanks for the short time good feelings.
    We continue to be pleased and very happy '04 prius owners. Currently we are vacationing in California and have been surviving the harried driving on Interstate 5 going north of LA achieving just about 56 MPG in the expected stop and go parking lot (freeway) this afternoon.

    Will be happy to return to Minnesota and somewhat more sane driving conditions. However, drivers for the most part have been friendly and not rude at all.

    We are going to be selling our '04 silver package 7 soon as we have ordered a package 4 '06 and are looking forward to the rear camera and the mp3 sound system. I have found the value of an mp3 player from a thread on PriusChat a week or two ago. Thanks for that.

    Again thanks for the fleeting recognition. I will stay tuned.

    Thanks for the honor...I think. I don't know what I did to deserve it, but I'm glad to be recognized for it. I really enjoy the PC group, almost as much as my Prius. B)

    Good job on the script. I got me as well. But it's funny, every time I log in, I see only 1 member, 0 guests, 0 anon users. Is it because it's 11pm PST and everyone is sleeping?

    After reading the last 2 pages it would appear this is a gag. I don't know what game you're playing , but I'm a good sport. <_<

    It took you til' the last 2 pages??? :lol:

    You should have seen it after the 2nd post... ;)

    even though it's a great way to mess with people, I'm going to personally hijack the award and run out the door. Me, me, me....and I would like to thank you all anyway!

    I've gotten a number of good chuckles from the reactions here, sorry if anyone felt off-put, it's all in good fun, but also a way to say "hey, be sure to contribute and recruit a few new members."

    Maybe we can twist Danny's arm and put together some sort of "real" PriusChatter of the year award complete with some prizes from our sponsors and such--seems everyone's keen on the idea....even those with only 1 post who thought they really won for a brief moment!!

    The problem is that as long as the {you} tag is active, we will never know, any time we see our own name, if the poster really meant us, or if it's {you}. This means that every time we see our own name, we have to click on the Reply button to see what the poster actually wrote, and then return to the thread.

    Thus PC becomes just a bit more of a nuisance to participate in and requires just a bit more time.

    Again, I suggest that we all have our laughs -- yes, it's funny -- and then disable it.

    I didn't fall for it so it wasn't off-putting, as it were. We used to do that kind of stuff back in college :rolleyes:

    Yes, so we should always act like smug, mature adults, and wear our issued gray uniforms with complacent pride.

    :rolleyes:
