?????Don_José tiene 1000 badges!!?????

Don_José

enter image description here What a legend! 1 K in badges!

???????????????????? :o{> ??????

Look who has us scratching our heads in disbelief at all his contributions! Don_José, our favorite tavern owner and poster of some of the funniest stuff on SD!!! ¡Abrazitos, amigo!

Caring and quippy, Don_José keeps us all on our toes and gives a real helping hand when we need it. Thanks Don for doing what you do best and what the badges represent: your achievements great and small in your pursuit of fluent Spanish and to support the SD forum. He also has a deep and serious side that we have all come to appreciate. Why don't you pass by his tavern today and have a visit? La Taberna de Don_José is always open. He's always there to chat and give you a good joke to translate. And he'll never correct your grammar, spelling or punctuation! Here's a good one for old time's sake: enter image description here

Here we are, celebrating with you

Congratulation old friend you deserve

each and every accolade , well done

.

I am trying hard not to say that you have been here forever , which may imply

that you are very old , and I know that you are only a young stripling.

But in my memory you have always been here , for which I thank god ,

because you have been a font of knowledge to all the members , a helpful

guy full of wisdom and willing to impart it , you are SD , without members

of the calibre of Don Jose , then SD would not exist in this form . At this

juncture I usually say , you are a legend , but I shall not say that Joe,

because you Joe are the Legends "Legend" Thanks mate , Bien hecho

WOW, Can't believe I'm just now seeing this post! Don Jose, I can't express enough how much we apprciate your posts and the tavern. I go to the tavern whenever I am having a bad day and sure enough I leave happy as a lark. You mean so much to us as a SD member. I don't think I can adequately express my gratitude. Thanks a million Don_José!!!!
