Someone liked what you had to say and gave some reputation points. These are given by clicking the scales to the right of the post

That almost sounds like "old fart", oh well I'll have another drink

and wait those 120 day's out I guess, then I can thank whoever it was

For now,

If you hover over the green (or red) square at the top right of your post a tool-tip type box appears, when the description changes it means you've gained a couple of a rep points.

Just write stuff that is funny, deeply inciteful (or insightful) then wait.

It's quite simple really. You exchange points for prizes:

100 points - Toaster
200 points - Barry Manilow's Greatest Hits
300 points - Barry Manilow himself
400 points - A Wallet Made From The Scrotal Sack of A Bulgarian Swamp Donkey
500 points - A Genuine David Hassalhoff Chest Wig
600+ points - A signed copy of 'What are you doing here? Get a life. You're obviously far too interesting to be spending all this time in front of a computer screen. Go and steal some cars instead'. written by Tommy Tookamoto.
