    It's not a party with mwm and StanBelindaCarlisle.

    I can't believe it's been 10 years. Signed in and never signed out.

    Love love love you guys.

    Count me as another one who signed up and never signed out. I registered for this sandbox 10 years ago today after getting an email from StanBelindaCarlisle that it was up and going. Stan, who I run into once in a while on the job, is still alive and pitching and gets all the blame for my inability to stay out of rassling threads and continuing to argue that Rush - and KISS - belong in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame!

    My personal 10 year anniversary is November 14. I was on the old board, but just as an occasional lurker. Then when I signed up here, I don't think I posted more than a handful of times for a few years, even though I lurked a ton. Man did things change. The friend who got me here (out of the business, just as I am only tangentially in the business) is no longer around. It's too bad. Been some interesting people -- good and bad -- through here over 10 years. Some still around. And there has been some really fun discourse. At times, this site has been a testament to what you get when you put together a bunch of really smart, opinionated and literate (key) people. It's really unique, in that regard.

    By the way, yesterday was also John Lennon's birthday.

    As for the SportsJournalists.com 10-year mark, I will celebrate at some point this weekend with a drunken thread.

    I say (with Moddy's permission, of course) that for this joyous occasion, we should be allowed to have a drunk thread. This weekend.

    Make it a 4-day a year tradition.

    Starting at Midnight EST Friday Morning, and locked (but not deleted, so we can go back and chortle now and then.) at Midnight Monday Morning.

    I second that emotion.
    Any discussion before we put this to a vote?

    I stumbled in here sometime around 2005 for the first time, when I was a newbie reporter looking for easy ways to keep football pxp while shooting photos. At least three handles later, I'm mostly a lurker, but man, I love this place.

    Thirded.

    Seems like the perfect opportunity to break out my box of wine and rubber hose.

    I get the keys for the weekend.

    Nothing but cheese crackers, politics, and The Kinks on spaceman's boombox.

    But you can't come in unless you give the password.
