[SeanHannifin]

Oh, man, I hope I'm at the computer for this one . . . :D We have final exams next week, but seriously, which is more important? :D

[SeanHannifin]

Hey, is it too early to start spamming? :D

[tgfoo]

Hey, is it too early to start spamming? :D

It's never too early for you to start spamming. And clearly, final exams take a distant second to being post #40,000.

[SeanHannifin]

I'll probably be asleep, or at class, or just somewhere else . . . I've been too lucky before, perhaps it will backfire now :D Plus, I really have to study for exams . . .

[Brian2112]

Plus, I really have to study for exams . . .
I find that heavy drinking and general debauchery is the best thing for passing exams… studying never works.

TRUST ME:p

I want an all expense vacation to that exciting and spectacular flower of the south location..... Ludowici Georgia. Speed-trap capital of the world.

Ohhhh....you said 40,000th post, thats a huge difference - in that case make it "Cut-N-Shoot" Texas
I'll bring my own corndogs and Old Frothingslosh Beer.
I can't drink that bathtub stuff.

[Joseph Burrell]

LOL, you guys are nuts. :D

[SeanHannifin]

Oh, there you are! The game is, I say two things and you say which one you like better. For example, I say "Cheese or chocolate?" then you answer and then put two different things . . . it's a good way to spam up a forum :D

Oh, Joseph's here too!

[SeanHannifin]

Here are two things to start the spamming game:

Ice-cream or cookies?

[fmfgs]

I now declare this threat as the slowest chat on the net

JB: what are you up to?

[SeanHannifin]

Sorry, I'm listening to music while I post . . .

[SeanHannifin]

From past experience I know things get really slow when we get closer to 40,000 as everybody waits for the right moment . . . :)

[fmfgs]

Sorry, I'm listening to music while I post . . .

your not going to win with this attitude

[SeanHannifin]

There are more important things than winning . . . .

It's 3:38 AM here . . . the sacrafices I have to make . . . :)

[fmfgs]

Talking to a bud on the phone.

Pondering a lot of things really...

Watching you guys post away the night.

But I'm gonna be knocking off soon. G'night gentlemen. :)

[SeanHannifin]

[SeanHannifin]

[SeanHannifin]

[SeanHannifin]

Gary and I talked about having it changed to SHaGPO . . . :D

[fmfgs]

sounds interesting

[SeanHannifin]

yes, it will be exciting to see! More percussion is on it's way!

[fmfgs]

what about a non vibrato solo violin?

[SeanHannifin]

That was mentioned, it may very well be on its way!

[fmfgs]

That was mentioned, it may very well be on its way!

I think there is a dedicated solo violin library in the works

[fmfgs]

That would be the perfect application of PM/Sample combination

[SeanHannifin]

That would be awesome! Seems like a lot is in the works for Garritan Orchestral Library! I'm glad I found Garritan's products, they are simply brilliant!

[fmfgs]
