Thank you, @Brian1946, for hosting this party.

Mahalo, @Adirondackwannabe.

Long ago, I stopped participating in public Fluther recognition parties and just sent a PM with a personal congratulation. In this case, there is a compelling desire to make it public.

Jake, you are such a special person, and the Fluther collective is very lucky to have you as a contributing member. I can honestly say that you are a role model, insightful, and someone that I would feel comfortable turning to for advice. Congratulations my friend. You deserve a standing ovation.

Dear @Hawaii_Jake you are so good. So happy that you’re here on Fluther – and Mahalo on the 20K milestone.

Imadethisupwithnoforethought's avatar

Congrats Jake your the best!

Sunny2's avatar

20K seems unattainable from my point of view. Sticking to it and weathering all the trials set before you seems to be a way of life for you. Congratulations! And may you have all the roles you most wish for on the stage. Perhaps we’ll have the privilege of seeing you trod the boards some day.

Trillian's avatar

Congratulations! I totally wanted to translate something into Hawaiian, but Babelfish doesn’t have it available. You ask some great questions.

Hawaii_Jake's avatar

@SavoirFaire : Charge! Mahalo.
@filmfann : Thank you, fine sir.
@Pied_Pfeffer : Your words touched me deeply. Thank you.
@geeky_mama : Those are very true words. Mahalo to you, too.
@Imadethisupwithnoforethought : Thanks!
@Sunny2 : It’s one point at a time, my bright friend. I would lurve to perform for my jelly friends some day.
@Trillian : I probably wouldn’t have understood it anyway. I am planning to take some Hawai`ian language classes but not just yet. Mahalo nui loa.

lillycoyote's avatar

@Hawaii_Jake Congratulations! I adore and respect you so much! And you are braver than I will ever be and have more courage than I will ever have!

Congratulations! Chocolate? Rum? Chocolate flavored rum? :D

Berserker's avatar

Oh hell yeah! Welcome to the club, Jake. by all rights, you should have been there a million years ago Congratulations, akal ma luna!

Hawaii_Jake's avatar

@lillycoyote : Thank you so much. I love the music. Here’s some beautiful chant filmed on the rim of Kilauea volcano here on the Big Island of Hawaii.
@WillWorkForChocolate : Yum, chocolate! The Big Island’s Kona side is not only famous for coffee but is also gaining a reputation for some great chocolate, too.
@Symbeline : You are a lurvely lady. Mahalo.

@syz : Your wish is my command.

Brian1946's avatar

@Hawaii_Jake

Drinks both alcoholic and non are all on the house!

If drinks are on the house, have you already raised a ladder so that we can get them? If you have, is that intended as a covert sobriety-based consumption limiter? ;-p

@Hawaii_Jake Aloha nui loa to my favorite Fluther drag queen, thespian of otherwise. It’s a well deserved honor. Enjoy the view from your new room on floor 2 of the mansion.

wundayatta's avatar

There’s a special place in my heart for you, @Hawaii_Jake. Of course it has to do with our shared affliction. It is always good to hear from you on that topic, for you have learned much in your struggles. Your compassion, too, is evident in everything you say, and we can never have enough compassion in this world. Thank you for being here. Thank you for sharing your stories so openly and with such bravery. Thank you for being such a consistently important voice on fluther.

Congratifications!
Congritulifictions!
Congressional Alliterations!
Situational existentialations!

And Congratulations, too!

Congrats Jake :D

Buttonstc's avatar

A well deserved honor for a wonderful member of the collective. Congrats, Jake, 20K is a worthy achievement. Good for you.

harple's avatar

Wow, when I saw this question I thought there was a glitch in the system – I was convinced that you must have already surpassed the 20K milestone. How fortuitous that you haven’t as I can now congratulate you whole-heartedly!

I’m one of the lucky ones on here as my time-zone fits slightly more with your daily pattern, so I often get to see your questions first, and they’re always worth reading and thought provoking.

Congratulations on the 20K @Hawaii_Jake :-D

@harple : And I can repay you with a hearty Hawai`ian “Mahalo!”

janbb's avatar

Hiya Sweetheart! It goes without saying, or maybe it doesn’t, that you are one of my favorite Jellies. I have enjoyed so much getting to know you, learning from you and sharing Eliot with you. (That sounded like more fun than it is.)

It is a pleasure to share in your life and thoughts.

Mazel Tov @Hawaii_Jake !

Was that in a sporting competition or a war?

ucme's avatar

@MilkyWay It’s okay, we exceeded expectations & went out to the better team on the night,
Besides, could be worse, we could be Dutch ;¬}

MilkyWay's avatar

@Brian1946 A sporting event, Euro 2012. (Football)
@ucme Good point, well said. I think loads of sugar helps me get over things much better than enything else haha.

picante's avatar

I am incredibly late to this party, so I’ll start picking up the cocktail napkins and empty bottles. Is that glitter on the lampshade?

Hawaii_Jake, you are a treasure. Like others above have noted, I somehow picture you sailing close to the 50K mark. You have the inner glow of the Fluthergods.

I celebrate you, if only by myself at this point, and I’m sorry I was not there when the toasts were being made. Congratulations!

WillWorkForChocolate's avatar

@picante Sorry about the mess. We got a little crazy with the glitter. Have you found the I’ll help you clean up.

picante's avatar

I appreciate the help, WWFC! Now I’m doubly sorry I missed the party since glitter was involved.

WillWorkForChocolate's avatar
