yeah, whew....slow down...your average jumped from 4.91 all the way up to 5.00.......do your fingers hurt?

Undertoad · 05-02-2004, 10:10 AM

Hey man, that's over a 3 year period so any increase in the average is meaningful!

That's my story and I'm stickin to it

here it comes......

ut = 6069
xo= 6059

skunks projected may 12th:

The difference in posts was 183.

Assuming the rates stay the same (very unlikely) and that posts are presented in fractional parts on a per-second basis (also unlikely), it will be 33.70165746 days; 808.839779 hours; 48530.38674 minutes; 2911823.204 seconds.

For the ease of calculation, 11:05 = 665/1440ths of a day, or .4618055556

There are 30 days in April. Given the time of day that LJ recorded his values and the fractional day-part required for the posts to synch, it will be in the 34th day that they meet. 8+34 = 42, 42 - 30 = 12th of May (a Wednesday).

This still leaves us with 33.70165746 + .4618055556 - 34, or .16346302 days.

0.16346302 days = 3 hours, 55 minutes, 23.2 seconds.

So, all things being perfect, the post counts will be equal at 3:55.23 on May 12th.

i'm setting my alarm to check it at this time.......oh, ad this to the reasons why i'm not cool on that other thread.

And me with work to do and errands to run.

xoxoxoBruce · 05-10-2004, 03:34 PM

Oh joy, oh joy,....I get more posts and UT gets laid every weekend(minimum).
Guess I'm the big winner, huh?

Happy Monkey · 05-10-2004, 03:36 PM

Excellent. An Undertoad post directly next to xoxoxoBruce post, inside this thread.

Undertoad · 05-10-2004, 04:02 PM

That's a rather tall assumption on your part, B!

(Were we too obvious about it at the game?)

xoxoxoBruce · 05-10-2004, 04:05 PM

I have faith in you, master...bow...scrape...back out.

SteveDallas · 05-10-2004, 05:36 PM

Just remember, UT, don't do anything I wouldn't do.

Undertoad · 05-13-2004, 10:34 AM

I'm the loser now as she [is a lurker here] read Bruce's comment, assumed she was the butt of a locker-room joke or something, and it has blown up the relationship.

lumberjim · 05-13-2004, 10:51 AM

UT,

that's a bummer, but if the realtionship was that fragile.......

also, one comment does not a lockeroom joke brunt bearer make. whoever this lurker is must have seen more than I did, and i don't miss much on here.....

and thirdly, not very nice of you to lay that at bruce's feet.

Undertoad · 05-13-2004, 10:54 AM

All true. Sorry B, it really has nothing to do with you.

warch · 05-13-2004, 11:24 AM

Well rats...Flyers then, with a big bowl of queso.

Undertoad · 05-13-2004, 12:41 PM

Update: we talked through the fragility

Sometimes life drama happens too fast for the Cellar.

I have kept my personal life away from here on purpose but you know, either it's full disclosure or nothing and I can never pick which is better.

She said the Cellar is proof of my honesty to some degree because what I say about what happened in my life is backed up by a history of posts that happened at the time and confirm it all.

lumberjim · 05-13-2004, 12:57 PM

well, that's good to hear.

And welcome, Ms X. whoever you are. I hope you stay around longer than the 5 undertoadettes from last month.
