I have no idea what you're talking about :crazy:

*sigh*........;)

whoohooo, I just got my posts per day up to 14. Yay me!
Still, I'm just some young whippersnapper with not even a hundred posts to my name yet. Its easy to pump averages with a small data set. PUMP PUMP PUMP.

Nearly 3 years old are really funny, and sooooooo frustrating!

Sedatives.

This is in the Tokyo subway system.
In some countries, the sign just says "mind the doors".
In Japan, everything must be cute. Hence:

(Add: In Nagoya, the signs show a dolphin with one ventral fin stuck in the door. I wanna know how it got its ticket in the machine in the first place).

War, war, and war. Zen....If you reach 1000 before me I am going to be so pissed.
:)

Bring it on!

:)

But I advise surrender!
You need 263 more, and are posting at about 2 per day. Estimate 132 days to 1000.
I need 886 more, but am posting at 15 per day (holy cow!). Estimate 59 days to 1000.
I don't think I can keep this up forever (as the bishop said to the actress) but if I average a mere 6.7 we should tie. See you there!

z:
1000-124=875
875/15=58 days

c:
1000-737=260
260/2=130 days.

smart money says z

choose one cicero type faster or be pissed.

Suckas. The only way Zen would have a chance is if they finally put Mocking's nooody photo back up in that "other" thread. And until that happens and people will quit trying to charge me for said photo...I'm going to be right here......no names.... case....Yea...I'm already pissed. This is highway robbery!!
:)

Do my average for the past month........suckas.

Notice, though: C is posting at the speed of light.
Zed's dead, baby, Zed's dead.
hmmmmm.

For the past 2 or 3 days, I have been working really hard, here at work. Go figure. Hope it isn't an extended illness.:)

:hedfone: Did someone say my name?

Seriously, I can still see it. I could post it for Mockingbird, but I think I should get his permission, first.

:D
yea...that's alright.....
But it is going to be my one year cellar anniversary soon.......if anyone were trying to think of what to get for me...................lol!

Well, since it's your anniversary, my gift will be to let you get to 1,000 posts before I do.
:)
You still have to earn it.

I should have challenged someone that sleeps. How was I to know?!?
But that doesn't mean I want to get let off the hook here because of your condition and the fact that it's almost my anniversary.......
Your presence is gift enough.

You probably won't even be here when I reach my glorious 1,000 mark.
:D Sucka.

I wasn't going soft. I was lulling you into a false sense of security. bahahahaha

Is there some prize for getting to 1,000 posts? A free latte or something?

I notice you PPD is climbing. You have been active lately (or is that, have become a post whore like me?)

:banghead:
I'm not going to pander to your condition anymore Tick!

There is a prize for 1,000 posts if you start pretending there is. Someone will be naive enough to give you one. Assumptive gifting....like Christmas.....But since you have thrown in your brand of sarcasm and skepticism, now it's ruined......I had my prize all picked out and the chances were pretty good that I was going to get it until you showed up.......are you going to ruin my Christmas now too grinchy tick?!?

What a nightmare!!!
:D

*sigh* I'll have to leave this to you....Muuuust woooork. Plbbbt.

Awwww Cicero, we're still friends aren't we?
I'm sorry :(
I didn't start this ... ok, escalated it, sure ...
The prize question was a genuine question.

Hugs offered.

Zengum

Start what?
:)
I'll take the hug though. Haaa!

Start the race to 1,000 posts.

Oh, yeah, what race? Good point.

:grouphug:

My 11 yr old had so many books, not to mention a 3 inch binder last yr-her backpack weighed about what she did

I cant sleep....its driving me nuts

After what you got up to on the weekend, you've no right to complain about anything for a week.


Can't sleep? Just post. It works for me. Sorry Cicero. :)

My new wireless headphones are like finding Jesus.
They are GOD.

Super huge to show how much of a difference they've made my life. I can now cook dinner, nap on my bed or take a shit all whilst listening to my iTunes.
BRILLIANT!

GOD? no. praying mantis? mebbe...

Just want to mention if you buy magazine subscriptions as gifts for Christmas (as I tend to do), now is the perfect time. It takes a few months for the stupid magazines to get with the program, so the timing is perfect.

Quote of the day...source www.associatedcontent.com:

People who spit, pick their noses, scratch their arses, smack their mouths, preen their hair, relocate their genitalia, cough without holding their hands over their mouths, kiss and cuddle and even in some instances pee &/or defecate in public. Yes and I've seen it believe me. All completely annoying and showing a general lack of decency and self-respect.

Mum told me last weekend that they looked into getting me a subscription for my favourite magazine. They know I love it - even if it's generally considered trashy - and they also know HM was sniffy about the fact I felt I could afford it, mostly because he thinks it would be a waste of money even if I had pots of it. End result is that I haven't bought it for 2 months now.

They looked into it, but it was too expensive (because they'd feel obliged to spend the same money on my sister & brother). I was so grateful that they'd even thought about it.

What kind of magazine is too expensive? Most subscriptions are pretty cheap.

A year of magazines can be quite pricey. Our magazines average between £3.50 and £5 per issue if they're monthly

It's a weekly magazine @ £1.65 per week.
So that's £85.80 per year - even applying online discount you're unlikely to get it below £60 ($120).
Then x 3 to make it fair to all siblings......

But hey, if you fany adopting me Cloud, it's Heat magazine :)

Cheap is all relative. Plus annual subscriptions give a bigger discount her than they do in the UK. Oh and in my experience, people spend more money on Chritmans gift here. Lots more. "Stocking fillers" here are main gifts in the UK. Maybe just where Ilive... but $$$$$$

[ot] he's right, you know -about the affording it. Where does it fit into your budget of 1 quid for entertainment? ;) -did you do that budget yet? On paper and all? [/caring nag] Well done on the self control on that one :D [/ot]

hmm, I guess you're right. As an example, I just purchased a 12-month gift subscription for 5.92 pounds ($12 US). Not expensive, in my view. Of course, I regularly spend $1,000 to $2,000 yearly on family Christmas gifts. Maybe 740 pounds? Is that a lot to you?

hell, yes! and I live in the US! :lol:

but you have grandbabies and that's a whole different ballgame.....

by the way, Heat magazine is 72 quid for an annual subscription -saving 14%. Here, for a lot of magazines, you save over 50% of the cover price when you subscribe. Newsweek, for example, is dirt cheap when baought annually -about 50c per week (25p) iirc. Schools sekll magazine subscriptions as fundraisers.

Wow, Heat magazine is expensive. $280 for a yearly subscription.

Go to the library.

I'm just generous.

substitute for actual, you know, love and time.

Oh I have been a good girl I promise - I just suspect his opinion would have been different if it had been the Times Literary Supplement :)

Aye. My parents spend about £20 on each of us at Christmas. Mum might sneak a bit more for me as my sister has children (her share goes on them but Mum inevitably overspends, as I did when I was working) and my bro is better paid than my Mum.

She spends on food, but £740 on presents is far more than she could afford.

okay, oops, I don't mean to make anyone feel bad. I'm very, very (very!) lucky, in that I get an extra paycheck at Christmastime as a bonus, and I usually spend most of that on gifts.

And I always overspend. Every year I tell myself I won't, but I do anyway.

ETA: Here's Heat's online version: http://www.heatworld.com/

I've pretty much stopped subscribing to magazines myself, and my mag purchases have gone way down since so much content is now free on the Net.

I'd almost forgotten what it's like to be cold. It's 37 degrees outside this morning.

Should I wear my coat?

It took me a moment to remember that you'd be using Fahrenheit ... I thought you were being ironic about the coat.

I've had to break out the winter bedding too.

update:

z:
1000 - 368 = 632 posts to go
632 / 18.2 = 34 days

c:
1000 - 846 = 154 posts to go
154 / 2.3 = 66 days

Tick tock people!

for someone who seems to hate weeds so much, this appears a little like fertilizer to my untrained eye...

I heard there was some whoreing going on in here, and no one invited me....

Again!!!

I may not be the most obvious choice for such an event, but it's incredible how many people utterly fail to mention it......
:)

:lol:

more like a little... potted plant.

in ONE place.

appropriately named.

Not spread out over the whole damn lawn.

One dandelion is pretty. A field of them is... still pretty. But a front yard of them drives down the property value.

WARNING! YOU MUST HAVE A STRONG STOMACH TO READ THIS!

Holy crap, so my roommates showed me "meatspin" and "two girls and one cup".

Grossest things I've ever seen.
I was like WHAT THE FUCK WHAT THE FUCK WHAT THE FUCK WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT WHAT THE FUCK.

Sorry for my vulgarity, but those videos are seriously messed up. I don't even know why I'm posting this other than my mind has been blown.
Beware, if you decide to google it. Seriously. Caution.

P.S. Only if you've seen the infamous tubgirl, will you have knowledge of what these might be.

Bah, statistics.
In the last few weeks, Cicero has been posting at WAY more than 2.3 per day. She must have been through a very long period of slow posting, a while ago.

Since 12th October (12 days) she has gone from 737 to 846 = 109 posts = 9 per day = 17 days to 1,000 AT CURRENT RATE.

I too have stepped it up, going from 124 to 368 at 20 PPD in the same period, but this still leaves me (a) 31 days from 1,000 and (b) desperately in need of a life.

I am gaining by 11 Posts per day, so at current rates I should draw level with Cicero in 43 days, say, the first few days of December, and with our tallies at around 1,200 to 1,250 - if I can keep this rate up.

Cicero, we should found a brothel.

Alright...I really need more friends in my time zone...this is getting ridiculous.... :D

What's wrong with the friends who aren't in your time zone?

Ah...er....nothing....

but 5-7am is a little late for a bedtime really....and that's the time (for me) both of these messages were posted :D

I am not my post count :mecry:

1. Hypocrite! ;)

2. You will be, my friend, you will be .... bwahahahahahah :lol:

Edited - I asked for a clue as to what they were, then remembered I am no longer at work (!) so accessed Urban Dictionary.
Meatspin would probably just make me laugh, but I wouldn't make it through 5 seconds of Two Girls One Cup - it contains the things that disturb and disgust me on a visceral level.

Welcome Dingle!!! I like your photo...you look like you are trying to grab change from behind your ear.

I keep trying and it doesn't work for me...

Zen.....he doesn't think he's made up of his post count at his core. Ha ha ahahahahaa!
:)

120 Zen...120...

Yah, with a 700+ head start!!!
I am all for choosing your battles, but this is just a sport. To win without difficulty is to triumph without glory. Why don't you play it really safe and challenge Dingle to a race to 900?

PS: 19.92 posts per day. In your face, Mrs. 2.37!

:grouphug:

EDIT: 2.34 am, 27th October 2007. Posts per day = 20.00 . Nyah nyah nya-nyah nyahhh!

You should watch me play pool sometime...
(my poor dear husband)

He doesn't know that I have a crush on you.
:D
And that I stalk you on the cellar.
