Get off your lazy asses guys.
If we averaged 500 posts a day, we'd make it to 1,000,000 posts in about 5 years.
Here I am! :dumbo:
All right, let's make this happen.
That is an exhausting thought
We can do it!
Whaaaa?
500 posts per day per person? Sure, why not?
We're already well on our way.
I, myself, am already on my 4th or 5th post for today.
If we had five people posting 500 times a day we would have a daily post count of 2,500. After one week, we would have an additional 17,500 posts. After a year we would have 912,500, plus the 101,000 we have now. Easy!
See, all it takes is a little mathematical knowhow and suddenly all your problems are laid bare.
500 posts a day, assuming you spend 8 hours a day on Mellophant (and why wouldn't you?) would be slightly more than one post per minute. Easy!
And even with flood control, you could easily get two posts per minute in. Although I don't know that we'll have enough time to read everything that gets posted.
Okay, what if we had 500 people posting five times a day?
I think the read to posted ratio would be a bit better.
I will give a nickel to the person who posts the 1,000,000th post!
That nickel is mine, bitches!
Better make it happen then, Sticks!
post post post.
Some would say a quality post is worth more than ten contentless posts.
That's nickelless loser talk.
I'm thinking of starting an "Ask the guy who gives you A BOOT TO THE HEAD!" thread. Do you think that'd generate some posts?
Tripler
ANSWER ME! A BOOT TO YOUR SHINS!
We need Liberal to start posting methinks.
Oops, I think I only made three posts yesterday. That's okay, I can do 997 today to make up for it.
You blooming well better make up for it. Carpel Tunnel Syndrome, let's go!
I need not your foreign nickels!
Don't take any wooden nickels when you get your post count up guyze.
It'll be a Canadian nickel. Oooooh.
What? Screw that! I only take REAL AMERICAN MONIES!
Right now, a Canadian nickel is worth, like, $50 American.
Cheah right. Everyone knows that 'Murica is the only real country.
Are we still doing this thing?
Yep. Go post 500 times.
Yes SUH! Going now.
*starts mining posts out of the ground with a pickaxe*
I'm keeping up!
I smell really good today.
Woo! 700 posts!
Ryan, you always do. Whiskey and cowshite is the cologne of the real man.
I haven't posted here in a while, so I figured it was about time.
Is it time again?
I'm posting here so we can have posters from Ireland, Sweden and Indonesia all lined up one after the other.
I need
five
posts
to have
an avatar on the new board
Dude you have like a hundred post. You can have an avatar.
That would depend on the exchange rate and the country of the post's origin. Play teh intrawebs markets right and we can roll a few posts into thousands of posts just through wise foreign post exchange transactions.Quote:

See, I enjoy moonlit dinners and candlelit walks by the ocean. We would never work out.
Posting for Sarahfeena.
I enjoy moonlighting as a hockey player!
Not really.
Doesn't change the fact that I need five for an avatar, now does it smart guy? :DQuote:

Why, thank you. Now can I get something with a little more "oomph" to it, please? ;) :dumbo:Quote:

Keep plugging away.
Grow faster, you bastard of a post count, grow, grow, grow!
Ivan Astikov, I have to ask, are you unemployed, or just the worst employee ever?
I have a strong 5 o'clock shadow today.
Insurance companies are evil.
That is all.
Hello
It just occurred to me, that if everyone used this thread instead of chat, it might go a bit faster.
True dat.
Posty posty
I can boasty
I hate Post Toasties
Maybe the mosty
Now it's....
Smiley roundup time!
Yay!
:(:mad::confused::eek::???::dubious::Shake::emb::f ist:
Wait... none of these guys are smiling.
Who will correct this?
Who's keeping record? I need my post count!
oh...
I just looked at the place where it says "post count".
Nevah mind.:dumbo: is cute!
It's got the spots!
Look everyone, it's jali!
I will be gone for a few days on a trip to Kalimantan to see rehabilitated orangutans released into the wild. So I'm not going to be able to do my usual 500 posts/day for a while. Anyone want to chip in and do a few extra posts on my behalf? I'd hate to be 2000 posts behind when I return.
Oh sure. I can throw in a couple.
Couple what? Dozen? Hundred? Thousand?Quote:

Haven't decided yet. But I figure if we all pitch in, it shouldn't take more'n a few from each of us.
Well, I'll post a few times before I go to lessen the number needed.
I want to help
Thank you OtakuLoki.
You're welcome, Carol.
(How inane should we let this get?)
Also, I like my current avatar. It's a photo we took at the total eclipse of the sun along the border of Egypt and Libya on March 29, 2006. fun times.
Ooooh, sciency and exotic, too.
and sexy
I have the hiccups.
Hiccups are not sexy.
Hic.
Hiccups are annoying. Good luck with that. :(
That avatar looks like god's eye. I'm scared.
I am sticky today.
Groadimus maximus dude!
Sticky with adhesive spray, you dirty minded folks.
That's the first time I've heard it called "adhesive spray".
Really AG? You've never heard of this being called adhesive spray?
Nope, never. I would have called it a chuzzwazzer.
I think you are lying to me.
I might be.
I need to eat more yogurt. I like yogurt but haven't had it in awhile. That stuff is tasty.
I am back from Kalimantan! Soon I will change my avatar to an orangutan.
But not just yet.
Inner Sticky. Yay!Quote:

Why can't they use sales records instead?
Since I should be working right now, I thought I may as well try to get in on this nickle action.
Oh yeah, I've got 10 pesos & one of those souvenir penny's that you crank through the machine from Kennedy Space Center. Does that sweeten the deal for anyone?
Yogurt is good.
Pesos and squished pennies don't do much for me. I have a lot of pesos already in our safe (my mom lives in Mexico, so I have to be prepared to rush off there with money for a taxi, since the diddly-squat airport in Guadalajara doesn't have a money changer). My son has a collection of flattened pennies.
This may be the first time in my life I've typed out "diddly-squat." It's kind of a cute term.
Ack! I can't stop sneezing.
And it effing hurts!
Sorry to hear that, OtakuLoki.
Nerve pinches generate such *interesting* sensations.
I bought a box of cheezits and cottage cheese! I can't wait for dinner!
I was finally able to finish my unemployment claim today! Damn site has been screwy for the last week. If I get my sweet gubmint cash money millions, I can do 500 posts a day no problem.
Bummer about the sneezing OtakuLoki, I'm just getting over an allergy induced throat infection, so I feel for you.
Oh hey, one more post I can put up an avatar. Sweet deal.
Cheezits and cottage cheese - sodium heaven!
I love salt, it's true.
I even put salt on my salt.
I just figured out, if I added up all the words from all my posts on messageboards over the past five years I could have a thesis.
What could we call your thesis? How about "Self and Other Selves: Disarticulated Personae Through Discrete Media."
What are you doing crazy family outside my window? It's 1am - so why are there loud, drawn out conversations, needlessly loud car door slamming, and the gurgles and cries of a baby? If this were a one-off event I wouldn't think twice, but this is becoming a tradition
What the hell, people?
I hear you on that, AllWalker, my next door neighbors have a party on their front porch every Saturday night (except during winter). If I actually made any attempt to go to bed early on Saturdays, that would probably be upsetting. :)
Damn noisy people. The worst ones are the ones that make your shelves reverberate with their bass but get pissed if you so much as cough.
But a baby. 1 am. Why are you just getting home? Baby needs sleep, yes?
Stickler, thats what the main breaker on the exterior of a house is for.
Dayem you're good at this.Quote:

This is going to require us all to retreble our efforts ladies and gentlemen.
I'm not going to retreble anything. I'm going to rePreble my efforts instead.
Excuse me while I find a small sailing ship to storm.
I want to pm in chate. Hence I gotta work overtime tonight. Put on a pot of coffee, drink it and make me some damn breakfast.
C'mon, only 52 more to go!
It's a marathon not a sprint.
Jogging to catch up...
How in tarnation do all yiz have way more posts than me? I'm on here 24/7 for crikey's sake!
We post more?
Because I'm :cool:
Consarnit, it must all be stealth posting.
What are you guys waiting for?

With apologies to Dr. Suess.
That sounds suspiciously like every post I've ever made, ever. :smug:Quote:

I am making pasta. That is all.
Hasta la pasta!
Get away from my pasta.
I had an idea for a fast food franchise that would be perfect for malls, right next to the Orange Julius and Cinnabon. It would be called "Pasta La Vista" and would be sort of like Subway, except pasta-based instead of sandwich-based. You'd ask for a pasta type (corkscrews, angel hair, elbows, etc), a sauce (basil, tomato, hearty beef, red pepper...), mix-ins (broccoli chunks, peas, anchovies, capers, sauteed onions and so forth) and cheese topping.
Or has someone done this already?
Olive Garden already has that market cornered. Just face it Elmwood, Americans are ignorant, uncultured slobs. :)
Va Piano is reasonably close.Quote:

Meanwhile I'll just reach out and snag some of Sticky's pasta. And he can't stop me, because it's not nice to smack ladies old enough to be your mother. HAH.
Yes, a bit but not as much as the pictures make it appear. It's very affordable and in real life it's typically crowded which gives it a more down to earth cafeteria atmosphere.Quote:

Hey, who ate some of my pasta! I was working on the cheese sauce.
That wasn't me. I just dropped some blanched broccoli florets onto your pasta. I hope you like 'em.
Ok, so I'll just double the pasta that I was cooking. We've got a cheese sauce simmering on the stove. Broccoli florets, um what else do we need? Garlic toast?
Ohhh. Me too. Orange goodness in a paper cup.Quote:
