20K reasons to celebrate ShadowsPapa

[Maximus Gladius]

We most likely won’t see him here. He is the pure example of being a humble beast that won’t take credit for helping out as much as he has Raising a glass for all you’ve done here.

Another please! Celebrating is hard work!

I just realized from another thread about door locks that he apparently also has the ability to melt snowflakes.
That's awesome!

Why don't you knuckle heads turn him into a saint. Have his own holiday. Bow to him and worship his stinky feet. Remember, it takes 1,000 "at'a boys" to be a man among men. BUT one "oh shit" wipes the slate clean.

My friends,

I’ve been on this forum for a little more than two years, and in that time I cannot begin to count the instances in which I gained deeper insight, or just had to sit back and laugh as I unraveled the wit, of any of the now 19,934 posts (as of 8:32 am EST Dec. 11, 2022) from the legendary @ShadowsPapa.

His experience and generosity, to me, are the backbone of this place. His steady reasoning and unflinching rejection of rumor or rage have kept many passionate conversations planted firmly on the rails. And there's a sly sense of humor in there that is its own art form.

And in a day or two, depending upon how much coffee they have in Iowa this time of year, his message count will roll past 20,000.

I don't know @ShadowsPapa outside of this space, and it took me almost 300 posts before I was lucky enough to engage with him directly, but as I saw the 20K mark rolling up I realized I wanted to thank him for the many times he's helped me work through a tangle, and for his commitment to the Gladiator community.

So this morning I raise my coffee mug to our own brilliant neighbor, our Jeep loving, Sheldon Cooper-esque rock, Mr. @ShadowsPapa!

I as well. Thank you for all your help collectively and individually.

Yes, he is a nice guy as long as you agree with him, otherwise after nagging you ad infinitum and if you still don't bend a knee the personal attacks come.

No thanks, not the type of help I'm interested in...There are much more emotionally mature people here who are easier to get along with who have as much knowledge and better critical thinking skills, can appreciate POVs from others, and who I appreciate so much.

Shadow, please feel free not help me from this day forward LOL!. (You don't have to go retroactively back because we always disagree so I didn't take any "help" credits from you in the past- LOL!)

Saint hood status takes a thousand years,..or a hundred or two, definitely not for us to do now. By then he’ll have 100 trillion posts and made a saint. So for now, he can be made into a bronze or clay statue, but not to worship. That’s something held out for NASCAR, Football, Sema shows and our trucks.

Here here! I raise my Bailey's infused cup of coffee in his direction. His posts are often amusing, but always informative and helpful.

Clay statue with a water hose up it's ass, and turn it into a water fountain.
