1996

The one I had a line on slipped through my fingers, almost literally. I'm on the lookout for another 325 now.

1997

I didn't pull the trigger on a CHEAP JG 1997 on eBay a few years ago and have been kicking myself ever since. It went to a forumite IIRC.

Uh, these are cool too. Pete played and smashed 'em.

Happy 2k to me!

My two years here have been the most worthwhile time i've ever spent on the internet. I've amassed a great knowledge of Ricks, an ever-growing collection of cool Ricks, and great friends, all over the world!

Thanks all.

Nice thread, John, and congrats...

Don't cut your hair, young man...

Sage advice, Dane. I'd been under some pressure to cut it lately, thanks to mounting image trends in the music industry, and growing tired of people calling me a metalhead. I have decided to keep it long, though. I like looking different.

A well-planned milestone celebration, John.

Many happy returns.

I almost cut my hair, too, but then it started falling out, oh well!

Wow, I'll say it again, you've got some great-looking Rics in your collection!

A very clever countdown. See you at 3000.
