[ROCKTOBER 3] estela Appreciation Day

Well, I guess you could argue that she is New Zealand's finest export since Richard Wilkins.

i was going to say i had no stories in this realm but then i remembered my parents' friends coming to stay when i was 9 and their 9 year old son pooped on our carpet about an hour after they arrived and then screamed and cried and i was so mortified about it, and for him, i couldn't so much as look at him for the whole weekend. the adults said, poor little chap, but i thought, we're not that little.

after that i became nervous every time they fed him.

she is of course # 1. if we're doing quotes here is a personal favorite:

"just got offed" contains the letters g t f o and s t f u

estela: you're number one

agreed

My favourite estela posts are ones like this:

pato why are you seemingly the only one there NOT in a cape

she is the most hilarioussest of all

estela was the first elected to the first response hall of fame.

the author of this couplet

have you ever written a haiku for a dog then seen your name on the admin log?

i <3 her very much, and the way she says "bosthoon" deserves a day all it's own

We love you estela!

#1 poster no question, signal to noise ratio is faultless

hit ratio for brilliant posts second to none

xp!

i have never known her waste even a punctuation mark

xxp! ;)

you're celebrating this by typing a 6 character string with three punctuation marks.

i am a lesser mortal. 'post more like estela' has been one of my enduring maxims, but i always lapse. i cannot imagine what strictures she applies to prevent herself from doing so

begin by applying just one stricture, and work from there

done <3

Just because everybody has already said a thing doesn't mean it doesn't bear repeating: estela manages in 6 words what most of us pish away 600 at failing to achieve.

<3 Estela.

I believe estela also coined the following:

tl;sb

thank you friends<3

seeing my name in the same sentence as richard wilkins has made this my best rocktober ever.
