John in Kansas forgot to factor the changes in day and year length that will occur over the next 8,559,538 years into his calculations! It may be assumed, probably safely, that appropriate calendar corrections will be applied by the appropriate time-keepers so that no corrections for said changes in day and year length should be required. Dumbass Bee-Dub failed to check the arithmetic and point out that 27 posts accounts for only 26 intervals between posts, so the first division was incorrect, producing an error of 3.846% - an intentional trap to see if the arithmetically illiterate would fall for it. (But the Bee wasn't really the one I expected to have to point it out to.) John |

From: DMcG Yeah, but he can't wait until all the posts are done to get the first TB drive, if we're really serious about this. Current price per TB (single drives) is about $750 - $1,000 each. And we've only got about 251,000 years before the first one is full and we'll need to get the second one. Well, that's true as far as it goes, but we can only reckon on, say, 5 years lifetime for a drive. By which time the price should have fallen to something like one-eighth of its previous cost. We have to keep on doing this for the first 251000 years, so we have a total cost of something like 1000*(1 + 1/8 + 1/64 + 1/256 + ......) for the first 251000 years, and then we have two drives to worry about.... But of course, that's only the hardware cost. We also need to add in an allowance for Max's time to copy all the data about at some hourly rate to be decided. This of course is higher each time he copies it, and is something like 20% higher that then previous time. The total estimate cost is left as an exercise to the reader. |

26 Jun 06 - 06:45 PM (#1769645) Subject: RE: BS: Will this thread reach 85 billion posts? From: Bee-dubya-ell If you think it would take a long time for 85 billion people to post to this thread, consider the alternative! It will also take a long time for 85 billion people to not post to this thread! It is said that the current world population of 6.5 billion represents one-fifth of the people who have been alive in the last five thousand years. That means that in five thousand years there have only been 32.5 billion people who have not posted to this thread. In order for 85 billion people to have not posted to this thread, we'll have to wait for another 52.5 billion people to have been born and lived their lives without having posted to this thread. How long will that take? I dunno. It probably won't take another five thousand years, but it ain't gonna happen next week. |

26 Jun 06 - 09:21 PM (#1769865) Subject: RE: BS: Will this thread reach 85 billion posts? From: JohnInKansas 19,646 characters for the first 41 posts = 479.17 characters per post average. 85*109 posts at 479.17 characters per post = 40,729.45*109 characters, or 40.7*1012 bytes. (<41 TB) While this implies 41 1 TB drives for storage, an article in 2002 that fairly accurately predicted the 1 TB drive should arrive "about now" also predicts that we will have 120 TB drives by around the year 2012. As it's doubtful that the first 1 TB can be filled prior to that time, advances in available hardware should allow the purchase of only one additional hard drive by the time it's needed, and we should have lots of room left over. (Of course, we'll need a backup drive for this valuable information.) From the same article, the 28 million volumes at the US Library of Congress are estimated, in plain text files, as sufficent to fill one fifth of a 120 TB drive, so the "one third of a drive" needed for this thread won't be all that large. And of course, if we have to use the 2012 version of Windows to run the drive, the OS may use the rest of it. John |

From: Peace I spent three weeks in Blind River one night, so, thou who was there at the beginning man, I am not he. I have no such pretensions. BDiBR is one of Canada's coolest citizens. Shane has the corner on the illegal booze market in Blind River, Ontario. Well, he did until he drank the profits with some ladies of the evening. He spends lotsa time in jail through no fault of his own, and I think he was an astronaut one time years ago, but that may have been after he smoked a few doobies and it could be a story he made up to impress the Earth-bound. He has also been caught wearing women's clothing. And he has a big-time boner for a lady cop in Blind River. He claims the gun scares him but the handcuffs excite him. |

Took 2 days of walking from Wall's End to find the first bit of wall however (excluding the museum at the start). It was quite funny to see how much of the wall could be found in the surrounding buildings. Just wish now I had focussed more on the wall and its history and less time thinking about how this thread was doing (e.g. "If only this thread could have been started in Roman times."..... " I wonder how many times around the earth 85 billion miles of wall would go?"... etc, etc). Still I doubt the wall will be around for as long as this thread and perhaps one day people will be taking a journey back to the origin of it and wondering how we lived? Exciting . |

From: GUEST, I was there at the beginning man So we've reached 100, congratulations to all involved - sterling work. May I suggest that any requests for spare posts are required to be seconded by another member? Let me run you through an example and see how you feel... (e.g.) "Malcolm Douglas has requested one of my spare posts in order to join the 'First 100' club. I am happy with this and would like a seconder. Is anyone willing to second that the afore mentioned Malcolm Douglas be admitted to the 'First 100' club?" Just to prevent any misunderstanding, the Mudcat Malcolm Douglas has not (as yet) requested to join the 'First 100' club and the Malcolm Douglas that I am referring to here is, in fact, a fictitious character created by myself in order to illustrate the example. Indeed the 'First 100'club as a name is only an example of what the elite 100 members may want to refer to themselves as. What do you think fellow 100 members? |

It's a lovely state, with great beer (yes, we'll even sell you Molsons if you really must drink Canada's answer to Budweiser). As for your offer to "STARAIGHTEN YOU OUT!!!", I go to an osteopath when I have back problems. If I misread your offer and you mean that you would attempt to do me physical injury, I really should advise you that not only did I teach hand-to-hand combat when I was in the Army but that I am also a very, very good shot with pistol, rifle, and shotgun. Unlike you, I also have an extensive vocabulary and I'm not afraid to use it. BOY, I can out-fight, out-drink, out-love, out-drive, out-think, out-argue, out-shoot, and out-last YOU and ten REAL men! My mother was a nuclear explosion and my daddy was a mountain lion! My grandparents were a hurricane, a tornado, a lightning storm, and a nest of rattlesnakes! The second-last man who messed with me I tore into a hundred pieces and scattered them to the wind! They never did find anything of the LAST man to mess with me, 'cause I ground him into dust! I drink nitroglycerin and Semtek for breakfast and spit explosions all day! I swin the Inside Passage every day for exercise and my wake washes away coastal cities! I use the Arctic ice cap to cool my drinks! I've IGNORED better men than you'll ever be, and I'm assuming you're a man because you sure as hell can't prove it physically, mentally or genetically! Yes, please do come visit Idaho. It's a lovely state and I'm certain that you'd like it here. Why, you may never leave! |

05 Sep 06 - 04:24 PM (#1827733) Subject: RE: BS: Will this thread reach 85 billion posts? From: GUEST, I was there at the beginning man It is with great regret that I have to inform fellow posters on this thread ('specially the 100ers) it is my firm belief that this thread is now dead in the water. For a few heady days back in June it seemed as though we were at the start of something big. A radical young prophet by the name of Blind DRunk in Blind River gave a coded message that showed a few people (why so few?) a glimpse of eternity. Yes we were young. Yes we were foolish. But we wanted to make a difference (with Tee shirts and everything), but it wasn't to be. I for one can't continue with the hurt as each day passes with no more posts keeping us on track with our one billion goal. I'm not sure of the intentions of the other 'followers', but I for one am signing off a near (but not totally) broken man. You will never again see a post from 'good old' I was there at the beginning man, on this or any other thread. Perhaps one day, however, in a few years time, you will read another post that will cause you to ask, "Could that person be...?. No surely not?... But is sounds a bit like him, though the name is different?..." ... It might be comrades, it might be. But before I do go I just want to say a heartfelt 'farewell' to all my friends (if I can call you that?) who kept me entertained on cold summer's evenings. Well goodbye then, you shall never hear from me again. It's over. Farewell Farewell. |

From: GUEST,Shimbles Perhaps it would be of more benefit to examine the reasons why threads like this are deliberately scorned and ignored by those members of this forum who regard themselves as more important than other people who may not have been here as long, but who nevertheless should have a right to say their piece in an equal fashion, and not be discriminated against in subtle ways or subjected to what can only be termed a torrent of abuse. Personal insults are tolerated when they are issued by the aforementioned people, but excoriated when they are issued by the latter. Perhaps we should all take a good look at what is actually happening and ask ourselves if this sort of behaviour is conducive to maintaining a healthy community of if it is not? |

05 Sep 06 - 09:52 PM (#1828039) Subject: RE: BS: Will this thread reach 85 billion posts? From: bobad A Child's Garden Of Grass A precious Seventies classic, August 25, 2005 Reviewer: Jack Jackinowicz I discovered this book at the library of the Catholic elementary school I went to around 1973. Yep, apparently the nun in charge of buying books was browsing the bestseller list and assumed from the title that it was a childrens' book. Ha haaaaw!! Rick D. and I checked it out in turns and loved it. Of course its content was soon discovered and it was removed from the library (no doubt incinerated), but Rick and I did a joint order (heh heh) to Pocket Books and got each of ourselves a copy. I haven't laid eyes on this title for nearly twenty years, but I can still quote it at length. Like the part that warns you not to get *too* good at rolling joints, because you'll end up sitting in the corner rolling your stupid joints while everyone is going down to the lake for skinny dipping. Or the intro, where the authors say they don't smoke grass and never have, everything in the book is based on what their friend "Ernie Lundquist" told them. Or that nothing is bad when you're stoned, except getting arrested, and even *that's* a learning experience. Or that the results of using a "steamboat" (their term for a big glass waterless bong) would make "even the mighty Zeus shake his head in disbelief." Or referring to the things you will do stoned and not get bored or feel silly, like picking lint off your dog or watching The Flying Nun. I actually think of this book often, after all this time. Highly recommended, even if you've never had a puff in your life (which is, looking back on the effects grass had on my life, my recommendation). |

They used to be a thousand times bigger, when I were a lad. But as scientists never used the term offically (its not in the SI system) and only economists and governments had a common reason to use such big numbers they agreed to standardise on the American system sometime in the 70's I believe. |

When this thread DOES reach 85 billion posts, the issue of whether you were in the first 10 or the first 100 will be of such unimportance it will be awe-inspiring. Witness the following brethren and brethrenettes: If you are in the first 10, you will have been in the first tiny bit of a percent. If you were in the first 100, you will be in a percent that is 10 times greater yet so infinitely small that it would make the pyramids seem pyramidial. I should take the time to explain that WAMAM is "Wankers Anonimus, Male and Female", but I can't spell Anonymis. |

From: Bee-dubya-ell It has been suggested over on the "Will this thread reach 5000 posts?" thread that there be a "mini-duel" between that thread and this one to see which is first to reach 300 posts. However, since the cast of posters to both that thread and this one consist, by and large, of the same bunch of fools, doesn't that make any such competition meaningless, pointless, and absurd since we would be competing against ourselves? Yes, it does! Splendid! Please carry on and may the best thread win. |

We can make a guess. Let's assume a good connection speed of 1Mbyte/s. Let's also assume each post is 0.5Kb, so two posts are 1Kb and 2000 posts are a 1Mybte, or 1 second. 85,000,000,000 posts is therefore a mere 42,500,000 seconds. A day is 86,400 seconds. So my advice is don't try and use a dial-up. |

I got to thinking and decided that a litter box doesn't need to have been designed as such so I got one of those big plastic storage containers. The thing is 12 inches high. Well, for a few weeks it worked like a charm. Her pee would hit the side and run down into the litter. Lately though, she has been pissing over the top of even this thing. At least the box is in the (unfinished) basement. It's still a pain to have to clean it up. |

From: GUEST, I was there at the beginning man KB you have been a good friend to me on this thread and I hope after you read my terrible confession you still will be. I never really went away. After my 'farewell post' (as I like to refer to it as), I found I just couldn't stay away. But how could I come back so soon after my lengthy farewell? So I came back - under an alias (2 in fact). Can you guess who i am? Can you ever forgive me? Can any of you forgive me? Shall I ever post here ever again? Can this prodigal son ever return under his original name, or must he sneak in the occasional post under some assumed name? Yes I've been bad, but the heart is good and I have spare posts to give away. Oh misery. |

Over time the MOABS thread devolved into a tiny little private club of about 6 or 7 people who drop in on a regular basis simply because it has become habitual for them to do so. The only thing that relieves their narcissisistic, nattering, nabobistic nepotism is the occasional visit from William Shatner! Dare we hope that this thread may become something similar...yet much more democratic and far less elitist...a thread for ALL, not just for some! Let that be our watchword, our inspiration, our credo, and our sacred mission. After all, it takes a hell of a lot of posters to rack up 85 billion posts, so we cannot afford to be elitist snobs now, can we? |

I've requested an action plan from you, but with no response (more sluggishness).

How about this for controversy (let The Shambles know, he'll have something to say about this no doubt): ….. I believe people who eat green tomatoes are fools, yes FOOLS. Not only do they taste horrible there is a statistical risk of poisoning. Far better to let green tomatoes ripen on the windowsill or make green tomato chutney. What do you say to that then eh? Feeling a bit defensive eh? Want to put the case for green tomato eating eh (if you possibly can). Recipes for green tomato chutney also welcome.

Did you hear the story about the farmer who wouldn't put up window screens? The local agricultural agent told him that it would be healthier, that it would keep out the flies that also infested the outhouse. The farmer said, no, he'd just toss some lime down the outhouse and that was lots cheaper than screens. So a few weeks later the ag agent comes around again the lo and behold, the house is fully screened! He asked the farmer what convinced him to put up screens, and the farmer replied, "Well, I noticed that the flies were leaving little white footprints in my food." |

08 Oct 06 - 01:16 PM (#1853348) Subject: RE: BS: Will this thread reach 85 billion posts? From: Rapparee Even though I live in Idaho, I don't eat potatoes, either. For the same reason. And green tomatoes, even fried or chutneyized, still contain the poisons. Don't eat 'em 'cause you'll die. Parenthetically, potatoes aren't really vegetables at all. They are actually blind subterranean parasit es similar to slugs or nematodes, which are attracted to the roots of the potato plant and which they find by using sensory organs in the so-called "eyes". They attach themselves to these roots and suck nutrition from the plant and if this goes on long enough the plant will wither and die. Potatoes are considered a crop because people planted the plants in fields to attract the potatoes, which migrated to the plants and which continue to do so today. Idaho, for example, used to be a large, high, plateau but so many potatoes migrated that whole areas collapsed and formed valleys and mountain. |

08 Oct 06 - 03:16 PM (#1853413) Subject: RE: BS: Will this thread reach 85 billion posts? From: Peace I will step into that breach. Green tomatoes do not deserve the bad press they have received from ne'er-do-wells on this thread. First, any comparison of potatoes and tomatoes is ridiculous. Tomato milk shakes are going to catch on sooner or later. Such cannot be said of potato milk shakes. Those of you who think you know everything are a real pain in the ass to those of us who really do. Yes green tomatoes are not good for you. For that the answer is simple. Feed them to your cat. Put the rest in a brown paper bag and let them methanate. When they turn red, stuff the cat, which will by this time have died, and cook at 350 degrees for three hours, basting every ten minutes with a mild lager. Garlic goes good with this. |

Could have done with a few more (any) pro-green tomato eaters to hot up the debate a little (good try Peace but it was easy to tell your heart wasn't in it), however I think the wider forum now realises that if it's controversy they want, look no further than the 85 billion thread. You'll all be pleased to know that I have therefore decided NOT to quit the thread forever, for the time-being. Has anyone else got ideas for upping the rate of posting? Anyway back to chimpgate…. |

As he was walking to the parking lot to get his car, a policeman stopped him and asked, "Did you tee off on the sixteenth hole about twenty minutes ago?" "Yes," the golfer responded. "Did you happen to hook your ball so that it went over the trees and off the course?" "Yes, I did. How did you know?" he asked. "Well," said the policeman very seriously, "Your ball flew out onto the highway and crashed through a driver's windshield. The car went out of control, crashing into five other cars and a fire truck. The fire truck couldn't make it to the fire, and the building burned down. So, what are you going to do about it?" The golfer thought it over carefully and responded... "I think I'll close my stance a little bit, tighten my grip and lower my right thumb." |

Anyone can make a milk shake. But how many people will actually make an Anchovy Milkshake at home? How many folks have? Answer: fewer than 1/10 of 1/10 of 1%. In real figures, 127 people if you include Dave the Doorman at the Chelsea Hotel who had a penchant for a fish flavour with his strawberries and fresh dairy cream. He was a strange guy who was waaaay ahead of his time in the year 1967. But how could anyone walk/skate/bike/jog or drive past an establishment that specializes in the product? Answer: almost NO one. It is the secret desire of every professional athlete to have--but, that's in the future, just like tomorrow and next week. |

17 Oct 06 - 09:08 PM (#1861776) Subject: RE: BS: Will this thread reach 85 billion posts? From: Bill D Anchovy MILKSHAKES!...that's IT? Let me tell you a true story. Many years ago, I rented two rooms in a big house I owned to friends of mine. A block away was a "Tastee Freeze"..similar to Dairy Queen, but trying to compete by offering weird selections of stuff, including 20-30 hamburger toppings and 50 flavors of milkshake. One day my friend D.W. said he was going to the Tastee....my other friend T.R said, "hey...bring me a milkshake!" D.W. said "What kind?"...T.R. said, "Oh, I don't care...surprise me!" WRONG THING TO SAY! D.W. tried to get a 'real' answer, but to no avail, so off he went, with malice aforethought. At the counter he ordered for himself, then said "Oh, by the way...give me an Almond-Sauerkraut milkshake." The owner asked him twice if he was serious, then made it...but refused to put it in a labled cup, and used a plain, unmarked one! ....So, D.W. handed T.R. his milkshake, waiting for the gasp and choking. Nothing... then T.R. said, "Interesting...what is it?" When told, he said..."well, it's different, but not bad." Moral..."IT HAS ALREADY BEEN TRIED---SOMEWHERE!" ...and enough folks like T.R. would just shrug and never notice or care! But if you put it on the menu, they'd never order it either. Now, how about some REAL ideas for making a fortune...like guitar capos which will double as blood pressure gauges! |

The pastor was so pleased with the donkey that he entered it in the race again, and it won again. The local paper read: PASTOR'S ASS OUT FRONT The Bishop was so upset with this kind of publicity that he ordered the pastor not to enter the donkey in another race. The next day, the local paper headline read: BISHOP SCRATCHES PASTOR'S ASS. This was too much for the bishop, so he ordered the pastor to get rid of the donkey. The pastor decided to give it to a nun in a nearby convent. The local paper, hearing of the news, posted the following headline the next day: NUN HAS BEST ASS IN TOWN. The bishop fainted. He informed the nun that she would have to get rid of the donkey, so she sold it to a farmer for $10. The next day the paper read: NUN SELLS ASS FOR $10 This was too much for the bishop, so he ordered the nun to buy back the donkey and lead it to the plains where it could run wild. The next day the headlines read: NUN ANNOUNCES HER ASS IS WILD AND FREE The bishop was buried the next day. The moral of the story is....being concerned about public opinion can bring you much grief and misery...and even shorten your life. So be yourself and enjoy life... Stop worrying about everyone else's ass and you'll be a lot happier and live longer! Have a nice day!

19 Oct 06 - 03:40 AM (#1862931) Subject: RE: BS: Will this thread reach 85 billion posts? From: GUEST,Autolycos Bill, Happy to help here. Altho' lots of the Brit media seems sold on the US definition of a billion, properly in the UK,85,000,000,000 is eighty-five thousand million. So that way, we don't get to a billion until a million million. A bit before that, we have e.g. 345,000,000,000 (three hundred and forty-five thousand million), etc.etc. Thus there's no race to get the kudos, sexiness, show-offness of "A BIIIIIIILLIONNNNNN" unnecesssarily soon. That way, a billion THEN has REAL bigness. Ans 85 billion posts would be a real achievement. Calling a thousand million (1,000,000,000) a billion smacks of insecurity and excessive hurry. Ivor |

In a philosophical sense, mud is just dirt and water, but allegorically, it represents the tensions between wet and dry, transparent and opaque, up and down, over and out. It rhymes with cud and stud, blood and flood. It would rhyme with sud, but sud only comes in bunches or groups, gangs even. A gang of sud is suds. I mean, like when is the last time someone asked you if you wanted a glass of sud. Right. Never. You always get asked if you want suds. Put a layer of soap in the bath, and does it produce sud?

19 Oct 06 - 07:05 PM (#1863692) Subject: RE: BS: Will this thread reach 85 billion posts? From: autolycus Why do so many not use the simple option re mudslinging namely; If you get mud slung your way, ignore it, pretend it didn't happen. Why bother responding (I think, for once 'reacting' is the right word), why bother reacting to every bit of mud slung? That may or may not mean that mud-slinging would eventually cease. Why allow yourself to get caught up in it? i don't like being ignored and I may be in the majority about that. I just think mud-slingers feed off reactions. And interestingly, from a psychological point of view, the recipient of 'mud' is probably not the REAL target anyway, (See Laura Huxley's book You are Not the Target. Ivor BTW. If we counter each letter we type as a separate post, might we hit the target? |

Here's one: The Hippopotamus Song Words by Michael Flanders Music by Donald Swann and Michael Flanders A bold Hippopotamus was standing one day On the banks of the cool Shalimar. He gazed at the bottom as it peacefully lay By the light of the evening star. Away on the hilltop sat combing her hair His fair Hippopotamine maid. The Hippopotamus was no ignoramus And sang her this sweet serenade. Mud! Mud! Glorious mud! Nothing quite like it for cooling the blood. So, follow me, follow, down to the hollow, And there let us wallow in glorious mud. The fair Hippopotamus he aimed to entice, From here seen on the hilltop above, As she hadn't got a ma to give her advice, Came tip-toeing down to her love. Like thunder the forest re-echoed the sound Of the song that they sang as they met. His enamorata adjusted her garter And lifted her voice in duet. Mud! Mud! Glorious mud! Nothing quite like it for cooling the blood. So, follow me, follow, down to the hollow, And there let us wallow in glorious mud. Now more Hippopotami began to convene On the banks of that river so wide. I wonder now what am I to say of the scene That ensued by the Shalimar side? They dived all at once with an ear-splitting splash, Then rose to the surface again, A regular army of Hippopotami All singing this haunting refrain. Mud! Mud! Glorious mud! Nothing quite like it for cooling the blood. So, follow me, follow, down to the hollow, And there let us wallow in glorious mud. |

Just take a raft down the Mississippi from St. Louie to Nawlins or even further south. I'd suggest the whole river, but there's a bunch of dams above St. Louie. I will, in the interest of full disclosure and bad taste, note that when we sang that little ditty while in college we ofttimes substituted the word "meat" for "feet" and thereby added a whole new dimension to the song. |

23 Oct 06 - 02:04 PM (#1866618) Subject: RE: BS: Will this thread reach 85 billion posts? From: bobad Here's a review from Amazon for you KB: A precious Seventies classic, August 25, 2005 Reviewer: Jack Jackinowicz - See all my reviews I discovered this book at the library of the Catholic elementary school I went to around 1973. Yep, apparently the nun in charge of buying books was browsing the bestseller list and assumed from the title that it was a childrens' book. Ha haaaaw!! Rick D. and I checked it out in turns and loved it. Of course its content was soon discovered and it was removed from the library (no doubt incinerated), but Rick and I did a joint order (heh heh) to Pocket Books and got each of ourselves a copy. I haven't laid eyes on this title for nearly twenty years, but I can still quote it at length. Like the part that warns you not to get *too* good at rolling joints, because you'll end up sitting in the corner rolling your stupid joints while everyone is going down to the lake for skinny dipping. Or the intro, where the authors say they don't smoke grass and never have, everything in the book is based on what their friend "Ernie Lundquist" told them. Or that nothing is bad when you're stoned, except getting arrested, and even *that's* a learning experience. Or that the results of using a "steamboat" (their term for a big glass waterless bong) would make "even the mighty Zeus shake his head in disbelief." Or referring to the things you will do stoned and not get bored or feel silly, like picking lint off your dog or watching The Flying Nun. I actually think of this book often, after all this time. Highly recommended, even if you've never had a puff in your life (which is, looking back on the effects grass had on my life, my recommendation). |

I don't think that "the 60's" and such needs to follow the same logic. If you mean the seventh decade of the 20th century then yes.

07 Nov 06 - 01:16 PM (#1878444) Subject: RE: BS: Will this thread reach 85 billion posts? From: Emma B Towels Towels are the most useful thing it is possible to have handy in a crisis. One of the first things that Ford Prefect did for Arthur Dent after the demolition of the Earth was to equip him with a towel. They can be used for snaring birds whilst falling from a three-mile high marble statue. They can be used to signal temporally unstable spaceships by fossilizing them in planetary strata. They can be soaked in nutrients to provide sustenance in awkward situations (Although, as Zaphod Beeblebrox found, this is not a terribly tasty solution to hunger). They can also do a really good job of drying between your toes. The Hitchhiker's Guide is full of suggestions for successful towel deployment. It is worth noting that a cup of white vinegar in a wash will help keep your towels fluffy and soft. more about towels than you will ever need to know |

08 Nov 06 - 02:23 PM (#1879351) Subject: RE: BS: Will this thread reach 85 billion posts? From: GUEST,KB So on Monday I saw a thread about posting (as a guest) under multiple psuedonyms. The person who started the thread did this regularly and wondered what others thought about it. It was an interesting thread, most of the responses were negative but a couple of folks didn't mind or even did it themselves sometimes. After reading a few posts I saw that the thread was started in 2000. I got to the end (149 posts, I didn't read each of them all the way through) and realized that the last post on page three was from 2004. I thought maybe I had done something odd and that there must be a more recent post. I went back to the main forum page and the thread was still there with 149 posts. I got into it again and the last post was from 2004. I looked again later and the thread was gone. I don't remember the title or I would have searched for it (I might be able to find it anyway but haven't tried). I just thought the whole thing was kind of weird. |

09 Nov 06 - 09:21 AM (#1880128) Subject: RE: BS: Will this thread reach 85 billion posts? From: GUEST,KB So if spam was added and the thread came back onto the front page would it stay there even if the spam post was deleted? If so then that would explain it. There was no spam post at the end of the thread when I read it (listed as having 149 posts) but maybe it had already been removed. That was me on 8 Nov @ 3:24 btw. |
|
09 Nov 06 - 09:44 AM (#1880155) Subject: RE: BS: Will this thread reach 85 billion posts? From: JennyO GUEST, KB, probably when you first went to the main forum page, the thread had had spam added which refreshed it, but by the time you clicked on it, the spam had been removed. Then if you went back to the main forum page using the back button, that would mean that main page still wasn't refreshed, but when you clicked on the thread again, of course it still showed up the way you saw it the first time. I'll bet if you had refreshed the main page at any stage instead of using the back button, the thread would have been gone. Just a matter of timing. The clones don't leave the spam there very long. |

I sometimes wonder if he reads threads like this. When he isn't tilting at windmills he can be quite funny. My concern is that this would turn into a second front, he is only allowed one at a time. It could potentially shut this thread down. We probably wouldn't make it to 85 billion if that happened. |

First I thought that Mudcat and the 85 billion thread had perhaps been just a dream. Then I thought there might be a conspiracy involved: the powers that be realising we were a force to be reckoned with picnicked and pulled the plug. So I said my fond farewells to you all and wondered if you were all thinking the same. Then I started a book, something I haven't done for ages. I blame Mudcat for this mix up. |

I had to take her to the vet, the wife and kids wouldn't have dealt with that too well. It wasn't much fun for me either, but not nearly as bad as taking my dog some years back. |

You'll never guess who I've met this very evening in person, eye to eye and face to face. Go on guess (Emma B, you're not allowed to guess). I met this person at a Mudcat gathering, at a festival in a place the local's call 'Bedearth' in middle England. It was my first Mudcat meet. I TRIED to be normal, I really did, but I'm not sure how convincing I was. They asked me what my name was, I said "I was there at the beginning man, but you can call me IWTATBM if you like". They looked at me suspicious. They asked me where I was from, I said "Ambridge". They looked at me suspicious and in a way that suggested I didn't swim in reality's pond. I did try though and I pushed the 85 billion thread for all its worth. I pushed it so hard that we can expect at least 1000 extra posts by the end of the week. You'll see. |

01 Dec 06 - 01:56 PM (#1897656) Subject: RE: BS: Will this thread reach 85 billion posts? From: IWTATBM What's with the 'soap' thing? In Ambridge we call it a 'fly on the wall' documentary.

They tried all ways to persuade me, me being one of the village characters, and they only stopped pestering me when I threatened to quit the village for ever, never to return. Some folks in the village however have no shame and will do anything to escape the 'tedium of village life' as they see it. We call them 'the luvvies'. |

It took a rare intellect to find the one pure number, the only number that could possibly have made the 85 Billion thread what it is today. I believe that when future generations look back on our civilization, this thread will be heald up as one of our supreme achievements. Our future selves will be revered for our (and by extention, their) intimate connection to this seminal event. |

Nope, that's not it. I found a guide book for Hadrian's Wall. It has some nice pictures and a fair amount of explanatory text. It originally cost £1.90 but I got it for 50 cents. |

13 Dec 06 - 02:52 PM (#1908626) Subject: RE: BS: Will this thread reach 85 billion posts? From: IWTATBM 50 cents eh, that must be about 30p? - sounds like a good deal. It's become a popular trail in the UK at the moment and everyman and his dog is doing it. Apart from the history, the most memorable things for me were getting through a number of fields with bulls in them and a regular supply of mushrooms which tasted so good, much more intense flavour than shop bought ones. Oh for the summer... |

Our leader BDiBR will then surely give his his first, historic, New Year speach with tips and advice about how to approach 2007. I can hardly wait, he won't let us down, it'll be something real special. So just 98 posts to go |

18 Dec 06 - 10:16 PM (#1913247) Subject: RE: BS: Will this thread reach 85 billion posts? From: Peace That was good. However, I found something that will help. Look at this pic and then follow my calculation, ok? You have to work with me on this, Bobad, and all other 85 billion poster supporters. 1000-952=(and what goes here is our problem) Using the diagram, we subtract the number on the right from the other number on the right from the number above but which in this case is on the left because of I can't make the things line up the way they do in the pic. Any way, we take two away from zero and what do we get? Right. We get bupkis, because anything from nothing is nothing. We repeat that with the next number to the left meaning the number on the right of the lleft number but really to our left unless we are behing the computer or standing on our heads which would present the same view if your computer is upside down. Anyway, five from zero is--yes, you're right again--another bupkis. Notice that the same thing will occur with the zero and the nine. Bupkis. BUT, when we take zero away from the one, EUREKA. WE HAVE ONE POST TO GO AND WE HIT 1 bupkis bupkis bupkis. No applause necessary. It's a breeze when you know how. |

19 Dec 06 - 09:08 AM (#1913548) Subject: RE: BS: Will this thread reach 85 billion posts? From: Rapparee Ol' Pap Bupkis. Haven't thought of him in years. Lived down the street in a tarpaper shack, grew his own vegetables, and shot squirrels with a slingshot for meat. Had the last cistern and outhouse in the neighborhood. Played the banjcordion, an awful thing he invented himself, half banjo and half accordion. He used to sit out on his front stoop each autumn and play the thing, just so he'd get arrested and have a nice warm place during the winter. The judges used to sentence criminals to 90 days in the lockup, where they were forced to listen to Ol' Pap play that thing. ACLU finally got 'em to stop, except for people like serial murderers, father rapers, and other ne'er do wells like those. Yeah, Ol' Pap Bupkis. Offered to whittle us a banjcordion just so we could annoy our parents. Anyway, yeah, I knew Bupkis. He must either be dead or going on 170 years old by now. He was old when I knew him, but he could still crack walnuts with his teeth. 'Course, the walnuts cracked the teeth right back, but Ol' Pap didn't mind, 'cause he had a deal with the funeral home. He musta been over a hundred when I knew him, but he could still grab himself by the hair and hold himself out at arm's length. Yeah, I knew Bupkis. |

08 Jan 07 - 04:43 PM (#1930625) Subject: RE: BS: Will this thread reach 85 billion posts? From: KB in Iowa Was a time I would begin to despair when the thread would slide off the page. I had my moments of doubt about the future. Now I don't worry. There are enough of us now to keep it from staying down for too long. I might even be willing to be a little Shamble-istic if I thought it was needed. Up to now I haven't liked to bring a thread (any thread) back up if I was the last one to post but right now am thinking I will no longer allow that to prevent me. The thread is more important than my pride. So what if poeple think I am sad little person with no friends and nothing better to do than reply to himself. I know I could have friends if I wanted to, I just don't want to, that's all. I'm pretty busy anyway, I'm only up to 1999 in my quest to read every word of every thread that has ever been on the Mudcat. It's fascinating really, so many folks with so many thoughts. None of them are about me but I don't mind. I matter, I'm a valuable person and some day the world will see that. There will come a time when the world will not just pass me by like so much refuse to be put on the curb for the trashman to take away. Then you will all be sorry you treated me this way. Can't stay any longer just now, I have to go lance my boil. |

I could tell it was a domestic because, in addition to being solid white, it was wearing an apron and had a broom tucked under one wing and a bottle of Pine-sol under the other. Instead of saying, "Quack, quack, quack!" it said, "Sorry, I don't do windows." |

Seems like the warmth brought out the frogs, and when the Blue Norther hit the frogs all dove into the water at once. Only the water froze before their legs got in the water, and there was this mass of frog legs sticking up above the ice -- frogs were all dead, of course. Well sir, The Ropin' Rompin' Ranger got out a lawn mower and collected them frog legs. Got himself a bushel and a half, took 'em up to the Legion Hovel, and they had a big frog leg feed up there. It was made more joyous by the tank car of beer they'd managed to switch off the main line and stashed in the barn. |

Is there an easy way of counting individual posts on threads; at the click of a button so to speak? Until I find out there isn't I'm holding back from manual labour. We could have 'poster of the month/year' awards. Yes, what I want to know is who was poster of the year 2006? Then 2nd, then 3rd. I bet MOAB haven't done this.

12 Jan 07 - 04:28 PM (#1934669) Subject: RE: BS: Will this thread reach 85 billion posts? From: KB in Iowa Interesting that.

They let me out on approbashion and I hafta do some community work. Geez! I hate work. Man, do I ever flippin' hate it! But I gotta go pick up trash and stuff. What a flippin' drag! The worst flippin' part is that all my buddies are gonna laff at me forever over this. So I thought I had this great idea, eh? There was a thread on Muccat awhile back not too flippin' long ago and it was about a scam where you, like, go aroudn door to door and pretend you are doin' a govenmemnet survey, eh? And if a woman opens the door you say that she has to show you her bazongas for the survey! I read that and I thought..."This could work!" So I went out and tried it. First I tried in Blind River, but too many people know me there already so it wasn't goin' good. I got a lotta rejeckshions and once nearly got punched out. So then I wised up and went to the big city. Sudbury. People are real easy to fool in Sudbury, eh? Cos they, like, get drunk a lot there. So I'm workin' my way down the street from, like, house to flippin' house and tryin' out my act but no one is showin' me her bazongas. Not one! I couldn't hardly believe my bad luck, eh? And then I got arrested. Someone called the flippin' cops on me. There are a lotta people out there who are mean and flippin' spitful and they don't mind at all to mess up the day for someone like me, eh? They are jealous cos I look so good and I'm still young. They chareged me with sexual harassment!!! And bein' a public nuisance. I don't mind bein' charged with bein' a pubic nuisance because I am one and I KNOW that, but sexual harassment???? Holy flip. There was 16 women what came forward and indentified me as a fippin' sexual harrasser! I was flippin' dead dog humiliated! What the flip is a guy like me who is young, strong, and hung like a flippin' moose supposed to do in his spare time, eh? I don't call it hareassment I call it appresiation! I don't believe the flippin' justice system we got nowadays. It is totally flipped up and gone to hell. So I gotta pick up trash for the next 6 weeks. Holy flip. What did I ever do to deserve this? - Shane |

I picked up a lotta flippin' trash today, eh? And the worst flippin' part is this....some of it was MY OWN TRASH!!! From, like, a half a year ago, eh? I dumped a lotta stuff out on the side of the flippin' road from Don's pickup cos it was stuff I did not need, and guess flippin' what? I had to pick it back up today! Jeezus flippin' H Christ! It really flippin' burns me that I had to pick up my own flippin' old stuff that I throwed out so someone else could flippin' deal with it instead of me! There ain't no justice. Rapaire, you are a flippin' son of a bolthole's last flippin' death wish by bad skunky old beer and I hope a flippin' tree falls on yer flippin' head!

Sometimes I think you're all a very lazy bunch. Being Poster of the Year will be an important thing in centuries to come and it will look bad on the founding posters if we didn't even acknowledge it. KB are you still counting or did you give up? Would Jo Offer or Max be able to click a button and find out instantly or what? Does anyone know anything about how to do this? Do historic moments mean nothing to any of you? I'd count the numbers myself but I've been ill you see. |

16 Jan 07 - 11:28 AM (#1938330) Subject: RE: BS: Will this thread reach 85 billion posts? From: IWTATBM Before I congratulate you on being Poster of the Year KB I demand a recount. It's all too easy for the counter of posts to claim to be Poster of the Year. In fact I have just had a bit of a count myself and it would seem that I am, in fact, Poster of the Year 2006. Who are the mathematicians on this thread? Remember this is Poster of the Year 2006 and therefore only posts up to 30 December can be included. This is becoming a saga and it's not over yet. |

Open the whole thread and copy all the posters at the top of thread. 2. Paste this into Word 3. Search for a name, selecting 'highlight all'. 4. Copy this and paste it into a new document and do a word count. Have just done a few names and discovered I am not poster of the Year 2006. Seems as though KB may have been genuine after all - always thought so. More results to follow |

I kinda think Shane might have a problem with those last three, but if he IS reformed and HAS found God, well, who knows? Crispin Fiacre, huh? I don't know about Crispin, but St. Fiacre is the patron saint of hemorrhoid sufferers. I guess it kind of fits. Well, I wish him luck in his new life. |

04 Feb 07 - 08:20 AM (#1957350) Subject: RE: BS: Will this thread reach 85 billion posts? From: IWTATBM Hi all, Sorry I haven't been around lately - I took missing out on the 'Poster of the Year 2006' award real bad. First I couldn't sleep and took to drink (BDiBR would have been proud).This affected my job and I got told to 'sort myself out or don't come back'. I then took to living rough on the streets around Darrington, pondering over what more I could have done to become poster of the year and seeking advice and words of wisdom from all quarters, drunks, hobos, men of the cloth and sages on the 5000 thread. Basically it turns out that I should have posted more. Now enlightened, I'm back to start my new campaign for the 2007 award, proper this time. And what a shock to return and find our spiritual leader BDiBR is now truly spiritual. What next on this thread? |

04 Feb 07 - 10:25 AM (#1957446) Subject: RE: BS: Will this thread reach 85 billion posts? From: GUEST,Br. Crispin Fiacre, OCSO My dear brothers and sisters, I have been ordered by my Superiors to study at Monastera Masina Maria, our monastery in Madagascar. I am going with a joyful heart, filled with the knowledge of the goodness of God and knowing that He would never ask us to do that which is beyond our strength. It will be difficult for me to leave the land of my birth, to leave my family, but is it not written that "when I became a man I put on the things of a man?" I have grown up spiritually, as I had grown up physically, and I am, I feel, much better for it. I know now that my involvement with liquor, drugs, sex and the other traps of the flesh was God's way of testing me. I have found my true home here in the Cistercian Order of the Strict Observance (the Trappists) and hope to spend the rest of my life atoning for both my sins and those of others. It is very possible that I will return to Canada, even to Blind River, in the future. In the meantime, I shall pray for each of you and ask only that you do not listen to that imposter who posts as me as I used to be. Yours in Christ, Brother Crispin Fiacre, OCSO |

Yeah, well, it ain't great poetry, and I never thought anyone would want to steal you-know-who's identity. I mean, why??? fer God's sakes? And then he converted and became a man of God, dedicating himself to the religious life. And not just any religious life, the hardest one around. No talking, not even being able to leave the confines of the Abbey much less look at a pretty girl!

07 Feb 07 - 06:19 PM (#1960476) Subject: RE: BS: Will this thread reach 85 billion posts? From: Little Hawk The German tribes won by adroitly springing a surprise attack on the marching legions deep in the forest. The Romans were ill-prepared, being strung out in a long marching formation instead of a fighting formation, and they were overwhelmed and massacred. The Germanic people had many useful weapons at the time, including metal swords, axes, spears, arrows, and war dogs (large numbers of fierce hounds which could be released upon an enemy) (the Romans also employed war dogs in many battles). The Roman commander appears to have not handled the situation very well, and he paid for it by getting killed. The Romans seldom lost large battles against "barbarians", but they well and truly lost that one. |

Peace be with you, or as we say here, Pax vobiscum. The Abbot has given me a few moments on the Monastery's Internet link, as he does all of those here. We are cloistered and of Strict Observance, but we need to know what happens in the World so that we can pray for the good. I, who was once Shane McBride, bring you greetings from Madagascar! The flight over was long, but I found it a good time to examine my conscience, pray, and think about God and His goodness and how my past life caused Him pain. And yet He gave His Son so that I could be saved. That is Love, unselfish Love. And where Love prevails, there is God. I know that Love prevails among those here, even that one who would pretend to be the "old me." And I forgive him and will pray for his repentance. My time is up and I must go.

Here is the largest list I could find: barrenness; box makers; cab drivers; fistula; florists; gardeners; haemorrhoids; hosiers; pewterers; piles; taxi drivers; sterility; syphilis; tile makers; venereal disease. I'm guessing the venereal disease angle is what really appealed to Shane. |

From: Rapparee ...O! do not wish one more: Rather proclaim it, Westmoreland, through my host, That he which hath no stomach to this fight, Let him depart; his passport shall be made, And crowns for convoy put into his purse: We would not die in that man's company That fears his fellowship to die with us. This day is call'd the feast of Crispian: He that outlives this day, and comes safe home, Will stand a tip-toe when this day is nam'd, And rouse him at the name of Crispian. He that shall live this day, and see old age, Will yearly on the vigil feast his neighbours, And say, 'To-morrow is Saint Crispian:' Then will he strip his sleeve and show his scars, And say, 'These wounds I had on Crispin's day.' |

From: GUEST,Brother Crispin Fiacre, OCSO Dear Friends, My abbot has graciously permitted me time on the Abbey's computer today, the Feast of St. Ludan, because of the Saint's special relationship to our order. So, Rapaire, I hope that your birthday was blessed, happy, and full of joy. Madagascar is far different from Blind River, Ontario. Of course, I spend all of my time in the Abbey where I am copying old manuscripts. This might seem boring but it is done for the greater glory of God. Being the Least of the brethren here I am also responsible for cleaning the pig sties, and I sing hymns to myself while I do it. I pray every moment for each of you and especially for the person posing as Shane McBride. May God bless and keep you all, Br. Crispin Fiacre, OCSO |

You brought this on yourself by impersonating Shane McBride. Madagascar is 8,940 miles or 14,388 km. from Toronto, okay? That's very far away. It's on the other side of Africa. Which you probably knew before you started this impersonation, this identity theft. You probably thought, "Hey, that dude is gonna be way far away and I'll never get caught!" Well, as Brother Crispin Fiacre, who used to be the REAL Shane McBride, would probably say, "Your sins have found you out." Now assume your REAL identity. What was it? Percival Bolthole? Abner Tetemerde? C'mon, buck up and be whatever sort of man you can be, even if it's not much of one. |

All twenty-three Shanes of hers come on the run! This makes things quite difficult at the McCains' As you can imagine, with so many Shanes. And often she wishes that, when they were born, She had named one of them Bodkin Van Horn. And one of them Hoos-Foos. And one of them Snimm. And one of them Hot-Shot. And one Sunny Jim.

I was just adding to the absurdity of recent weeks. Poor old Shane's had it rough lately and I for one don't want to see him leave (for fear the ship might sink so to speak). A thread without its leader is no thread at all. Stay Shane and lead us into an uncertain future. Fellow posters, join me in the newly formed 'Stay Two Shanes' campaign. Step forward and put your case for saving our leader. |

19 Feb 07 - 04:23 PM (#1972853) Subject: RE: BS: Will this thread reach 85 billion posts? From: Little Hawk You want to see three guys who are a lot like Shane? The main difference is, these three guys have actually more or less mastered playing their respective musical instruments and being in a rock band. In their hairstyles, lifestyles, and general attitudes, however, they are really a lot like Shane. Their relations with women, for example, are very reminiscent of Shane. Their day to day personal challenges and problems are similar to his too... What Shane would do if he could get past playing "air guitar".... |

22 Feb 07 - 04:00 PM (#1976307) Subject: RE: BS: Will this thread reach 85 billion posts? From: IWTATBM Seems things have finally quietened down on the Shane front. I think that the Amsterdam Shane is a mystery that will never be solved. Perhaps he was genuine, a Shane in a parallel universe that connected with ours for a brief period of time. They might be near the 85 billon mark already - if only Amsterdam Shane had looked at the number of posts he would have realised that in our dimension we still have a way to go. I wonder if KB was the first Poster of the Year on that thread? I wonder if I did in fact finally quit the 85 billion thread forever? Perhaps we'll never know. We must ask him should there ever be another temporal shift, if that's the right term. Sigh. |

22 Feb 07 - 04:50 PM (#1976340) Subject: RE: BS: Will this thread reach 85 billion posts? From: Rapparee Of course Shane fights dirty. Shane also eats, sleeps, drinks, cooks, and in general lives dirty because the only time Shane has anything remotely like a bath or shower is if he falls into a running gutter or standing mud puddle or gets caught out in the rain (or both). I'm not worried. Anyone in this picture could best Shane McBride with both arms tied behind them. |

Lots of people are still without power. I drove past several downed lines on my way to work this morning (I drive about 20 miles or 33 kilometers). Many tree limbs on the ground as well. One entire tree toppled onto a house I drive by, can't tell how much damage was done. My town got off easy, power out for about three hours Saturday night. The ice was almost half an inch (1.25 centimeters) thick Saturday evening. It was really pretty on the tree branches. It warmed up a bit over night and the ice had melted off the branches by Sunday morning. |

01 Mar 07 - 09:00 AM (#1982679) Subject: RE: BS: Will this thread reach 85 billion posts? From: Rapparee Shane, even YOU could become a member of the Idaho Legion and share in the free booze and smokes (of all sorts). You'd have to pass The Test, but it's not very hard. Being Canadian and hence not a "true-blue All-American citizen of the United States of America" you wouldn't have voting privileges, but the last vote was taken in 1953 and nobody was sober enough to vote so the issue was tabled and never brought up again (the issue was "Should we forgive the Canadians for Molsons or not?"). You would be personally responsible for protecting Canada, or at least Blind River, from attack. Usually the attacks come either from the Martians or the Canadians. You also have to be ready at all time to rescue beautiful women from Fates Worse Than Death and/or ride to the rescue of other Legionaires (there aren't any in Canada at the moment) or Bee-Dubya-Ell, whichever comes first. The dues are subsidised, so it wouldn't cost you anything. Let me know if you want to apply for membership and take The Membership Test. |
