Oritteropo hits galaxy
It's been a while since we've had a Galaxy. 2,000 videos is not an easy goal - I'll probably never get there, and amazed at the dedication for those who do. I'm really happy to award this Galaxy badge to someone I've actually met in the flesh! Persephone and I met Oritteropo at a Melbourne SiftUp back in 2011. (Jeez, has it been that long?) It was a great time, and I found our @Orittoropo to be a charming, brainy guy.
As is our custom here, we've had a special badge designed for Oritteropo by our dedicated resident illustrator Chris Murphy. And of course, I've penned a, er, "special" song in Oritteropo's honour. Here's to my fellow antipodean Oritteropo, congrats on the Galaxy and thanks for your amazing dedication to the VideoSift community.

Lyrics:
Once I met a man down in Melbourne proper
We drank up some beers found some others to talk to
Then we went our seperate ways and I haven't seen him at all
But when I see his posts I hear his mournful call
Orittoropo
Orittoropi
You're more than an aardvark
You're more like a delphi
Orittiropo
Orittiropi
Your skin isn't callusy
Welcome to your galaxy.
Once I met a man and we talked into the night
We told each other secrets that will never see the light
When you got me alone and you had the chance
You pulled me aside and said "I eat ants".
Orittiropo
Orittiropi
Your skin isn't callusy
Welcome to your galaxy
Orittiropo
Orittiropi
I hope I see you one day
We'll have an Ausssie pie
Orittiripo
Orittiropi
Defininitely not a phallacy
To say that it's your galaxy

You're not just a galaxy
But a swell Melbourne guy.
Congrats ropo! No one is more deserving. A cornerstone of the sift for sure and just a great guy. Thanks for being a great sifter and someone who has made my time here really enjoyable. You're truly one of the good ones

congrats, dude
Ori! Congrats, good Sir! Thanks for making this place better.
Oh how I relish in a Galaxy reveal! My buddy and sift pal 'Aard' has been so helpful and kind that this one is especially delectable. Yummy
Gotta say that's a stellar job Chris Murphy did on the badge and icon. Once again ... nailed it!! Out of this realm and beyond as has come to be expected.
And @dag ... you are a star baby! First, thank you so much for the *how to pronounce* @oritteropo lesson [you don't want to know, nor can I adequately describe what I was hearing in my head]. Second, the song / video amaze and make me smile. Then again, I'm easy to please when it comes to people I've taken a shine to. I love the Sift!
Thanks, @dag The song, badge, and custom icon are all fantastic. Was it really 5 years since the Melbourne sift-up? Time flies.
Thanks also to Chris Murphy who has done a really oustanding job with all of the custom icons and badges, not only mine.
And finally thanks for the kind words from everyone else who commented here.

It's about time we have a new galaxy member. Welcome to the elite club, Orotteropo.
ant cannot award a quality point for this post because ant does not have enough Power Points - ignoring quality request by ant. (You can always purchase more Power Points.)
Congratulations to a fellow Aussie.
For an embarrassingly long time I read your name as Otteropo which made me confused as to why you had a Comodo Dragon in your avatar.
As Frank would say, "Never sneak up on a man whos been in a chemical fire!"
May your hammer be mighty, @oritteropo.
Nice job, Congrats!
Congratulations!
Congrats!
Way to go, Oritteropo,
Here's wishing you an enormous ant mound to satisfy your urges with.
I am glad mine isn't enormous.

Awesome!!! Congratulations, and thank you for the great sifts!
Congratulations!!!
Nice, well deserved!
Thanks
You're certainly not alone there
My old avatar might have made it more obvious - http://goo.gl/1EqwgC - this one is a mash-up of @Lann's umbrella, @eric3579's burning man, and the lizard
The other thing that my username has reminded people of is otter pops.

Funny, my dad used to say the same thing.
He worked for his dad's insulation company and was blown up in a chemical fire at around 18 while hanging off the side of a chemical hauling truck that exploded.
