BKM: You might want to wait for the previous bumps on your head to heal before tempting Kilty to administer a few more

trying to change my behavior by beating me in the head is likely to be a singularly unrewarding activity for whomever might be trying to discipline me (assuming, of course, that they aren't just sadistic gits).

i'm a cross-breed german-scots and they just don't get much more bull-headed than we do.

i can't wait for the resident phrenologist to tell me what my horns mean .....

Perhaps... as these posts suggest... the top ranking of all should be "BRAD" and should go to he who has the most posts. Then... in an interesting twist, if someone got more posts than Brad they would become Brad, kinda like "Being John Malkovic"

Well, lesse ...

According to my calculations, if we project Trebor's current daily post rate (12, as of this writing, and still climbing) against my own (6.7), Trebor should pass me in roughly (solves both linear equations) ... 68 days at the 840 post mark. If you time it just right, you can celebrate your hard won victory on Labor Day

BKM has already fallen by the wayside, with a daily rate of 2.5 ... I guess he never recovered from that 384 post all-nighter last month

/me recalculates after a flurry of posts by Trebor ...

Make that 34 days at the 612 post mark

I am just trying to add to the falvor of a great site. I actually am not nearly as worried about quantity as quality... but since I have not quality I will have to go for a little of both.

Lesse, 20 posts per day ... that boots your point of interception to 23 days at post 494

A very impressive debut. But can you sustain it ?

Trebor1503 · Post by **Trebor1503** » Thu Jul 03, 2003 10:10 am

Most likely not... unless we get more regulars to talk to. I am going to start posting book reviews (since that is what this site was designed for), and try to post a few each week... if nothing else people will be able to disagree with my book likes / dislikes adn that should prompt some discussion.

Brad - my goal is not to have the most posts... but just to talk with other who love reading. That is what drew me to this site... and what will keep me coming back

Amen. That's exactly what drew me here. My own post count has trailed off considerably, after an initial surge. Anyway, great to make your acquaintance.

a post-count production war?

[bob perks up]

man, that brings back memories of distributed computing. oh wait, i'm still doing that.

hey, what can i say, i'm a '2001' kind of guy.

Trebor1503 · Post by **Trebor1503** » Sat Jul 12, 2003 12:30 am

Perhaps a light harted "war" is what we need to add a surge of content. I only hope that this will be the result, you know... more reviews, more writers, more ideas.

I am all for a "The Mouse that Roared" war.

Say, is anyone gonna throw me a party to celebrate my 500th post ?

I want strippers, a cold keg of Stella Artois, catered food, and live fiddle music !

weeeelllll, i didn't have anything planned for .5k but i suppose we could let you try out half of the DOD+1 ahead of time.

you know, just to make sure it works as we've never used it here before.

Congrats Brad... a milestone to be envied... now if we only had a dozen others in the same place we would rally be in a situation of having a lot of book discussion goin on (I hope).

Post by **Darb** » Mon Jul 21, 2003 2:46 pm

Actually, I find "Literature Addict" to be quite fashionable

To be honest, I've completely forgotten what the progression I sent to kilt was ... I have no idea what's next, or how many is required to get there.

Post by **Darb** » Mon Jul 21, 2003 4:10 pm

I have no doubt that someone will photoshop together something appropriately embarassing

p.s. Start chillin the bubbly ... only 20 posts to go, ATM.

Post by **Darb** » Tue Jul 22, 2003 3:25 pm

Only 9 more to go - somebody fill my glass already

/Brad grabs the nearest female stripper, sits her down in his own chair, and gives HER a lapdance

Trebor1503 · Post by **Trebor1503** » Wed Jul 23, 2003 12:46 pm

Dear Brad... I regret to inform you that the Stripper that you grabbed was in fact a Transvestite named Mark. Perhaps in the future you should not drink so much champaigne before making your selection.

P.S. I hope you and Mark and the D.O.D. are very happy for years to come.

I don't know who you're referring to, because the 'peach' I saw definitely lacked a stem

Post by **Darb** » Wed Aug 20, 2003 5:52 pm

Say, I just noticed - I finally made full "Scholar"

Does this mean Kilty's gotta pay me a stipend, and I have to publish in order to maintain my tenure ?

Superenigmatix · Post by **Superenigmatix** » Wed Aug 20, 2003 7:50 pm

I'm lost - I know how the ranks progress but not at what number of posts they change

Trebor1503 · Post by **Trebor1503** » Wed Aug 20, 2003 8:06 pm

Congrates Brad... my guess is that kilt will double your current stipend
