Ze gratitude thread

[nycwriters]

Instead of burying this in a long, looong ass thread .. express your words of gratitude and love of all things Ze here. That way, if he's having a bad day, he can open this thread and see all the love.

Dev's right. Too often we forget to stop and say thank you -- especially for something as wonderful as this place.

So ... thank you Ze. Thank you.

*smooch*

[dickieC]

yes yes yes (to quote Meg Ryan)


*makes general obeisance in Ze's direction*

We are not, as the saying goes, Worthy.

[Zyle]

hear hear. This place is amazing Ze.

You're wonderful, thank you.

*big hugs*

[nycwriters]

From the other thread (just pasting in):

Dickie:

A million thanks, Ze. On a personal note, you helped keep me insane during the long long years of D.Phil. And that's beyond price.

Frieda and I were remarking on IM this afternoon what a remarkable bunch of people there are here. And none of us would have met if it hadn't been for one antic with a Sony Camcorder.

You're the Firestarter, the Twisted Firestarter.

Dev:

ze -

we cannot repay you for the innumerable marvelous things with which you have provided us. the toys, the vids, this incredible community which you have nurtured is invaluable.

don't feel badly. the pressure, i'm sure, can build. we could stand to thank you more often.

Beale:

THANKS ZE

-----------------------------------

You could warm your hands by all that love. Who needs central heating?

[zenbabe]

[Zyle]

[zenbabe]

[Red Princess]

thank you Ze, i will kill the naughty bird if you like, or just catch it and give it to Annie, your choice

[lapietra]

This board is my touchstone.

I feel loved and appreciated here.

The people I've met, the projects and conversations I've participated in, have helped me (and are still helping me!) in my goal to become a happier, braver and more open and creative person.

What can I possibly say that could encompass the gratitude I feel?

Thank you, Ze.

[rmr]

yes, ze you have created such an incredible place. i'm addicted and cannot stay away.

you've given me, a social phob, a extremly entertaining social life without leaving the comfortable confines of my bedroom.

God I love you man!!

PS Going on a date tonight.....I have stolen something very precious from Jackie O....:D

The most valuable Ze,

Your humor and in order to share talent appreciate in you. In order to raise our minds and the amicable place, you offered laughter in order to connect with the people.

But mainly, me you teach the method for the sake of of dancing securely in you appreciate. Me? "Being to be possible, to dance," it can you now as for me sing me whom it loves, (as for you it loves me) as for you as a fudge it is cool.

THREE CHEERS FOR ZE!

Thank you, Ze.

[red]

Ze, thank you. Thank you very, very, very much.
Without you and your bandwidth, I might never have been able to meet such fine people.

[beckstra]

Thank you for finding my butt. Sorry it was in your soup. :eek:

[zenbabe]

this site makes it much more fun to drink at home :D

[AllegroNg]

I will never look at grapes the same way again..

[RuneT]

Thanks for the house ze, I really cherish this oasis.
Also, I want to thank all the monkeys that made this possible. Without you, I would have to make an ass of myself alone, and then I guess I wouldn’t and then I would probably die of boredom.

If you need financial support I’ll happily contribute.


stayn alive! stayn alive! :D

[Frieda]

[squatjellonumbs]

happy happy joy joy

Many moments of satisfying belly laughs--
Glee and mirthful howling--
Gigglefits, guffaws, snickers, hee-haws--
spilled beverages--
silly insomniacal splendor

Thank you--Squatjellonumbskull :p

[flabbygums]

Ze,

The humor of your site combined with the social power of this board would have made Marshall McLuhan proud.

This is the Internet at its finest. You are a comic genius and multimedia icon.


Thanks....

[zenbabe]

[LadyCrow]

:cool:

This is one of my favorite boards on the web, & I am damn glad I found it. It's a wonderful forum for people across the world to get together & share thoughts/opinions on every subject, & to have such an outlet @ my disposal is mind-blowing.

I can not say this enough, ze:

THANK YOU!!!

;)

{{ many, many hugs to you }}

Pax,
LC

:D

[lapietra]

Just thought I'd bump this up again.
Thank you, ze.
Hope you're having a lovely day.
*smoogies*

[Deviate]

i'm eating a great salad. somehow i'm thinking you have something to do with it. thanks ze.

-st.

[trisherina]

Thanks, ze. I wanted to thank you by making a picture using your drawtoy. I planned to draw the lavender-colored paperback edition of Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance held by a hand which was just managing to cover the n in Zen , thereby immortalizing you forever as Robert Pirsig's putative Muse. I keep getting as far as making a lavender-colored rectangle embraced by a few yam-like appendages, then erasing it b/c it is not up to snuff. Well, anyway, thanks.

[katester]

thank you for teaching me to dance...
thank you for informing me on how to be invisible while under a transparent plastic bag.
thank you for teaching me how to mouth off to birds
thank you for keeping me entertained for hours. ok days.

Uh-oh! I can't find it. I'm sure Jean Chretien is somehow keeping me from seeing it.
