Right, I am appalled at you all. Thread Bridge - the rules.

1) A thread is started with a ridiculous title. If the originator wants to play, they put in brackets the "goal" post that they will post to. I.e if "BS Cooking with heat (27)" appears, the poster will try to be poster no 27

2) Other posters, in subsequent posts, nominate the anticipated number that their subsequent post will appear - minimum 15 from the number of the post announcing the bid. I.e, if things are going nicely at post 37, the next available "goal" post is 52. If more than 1 poster, makes the same bid, the first on the screen is valid, the others have to re-bid.

3) Any poster failing to reach the goal post by more than 1 either way is compelled to bid on any item in the Mudcat auction.

4) Anyone landing bang on their nominated goal post can feel like Marvin Gaye for an hour.

5) No consecutive posts from the same poster are permitted. If the goal post is acheived bang on, by the use of consecutive posts. The poster may not feel like Marvin Gaye for any time at all, and must bid on one item in the auction.

6) Guests may not participate, but only because of the requirement to bid in the auction, not because anonymous guests are all bad.

7) Participants will need to police the implementation of forfeits in the spirit of the forum

I hope that is clear. Serves you all right for posting to a ridiculous thread in the first place

Why Marvin Gaye? He's dead! And although I like the bloke's music, his lifestyle wasn't really all that much... I mean, he was shot by his own father fercrissakes.......

Liz - that would be more like Russian Roulette, where the person who lands on their own predicted number gets shot by their father!
Quack ;+)

Whose the card who got Auction and Bridge into the posting without
getting a contract?

Another case of a post falling down a post-hole and never being seen again....

I posted this message - or something very much like it - last night. It's not here anymore. I don't think I said anything controversial or insulting....well....no more so than usual....so I doubt Joe offed it. Anyway, here we go again....

Oakley! Dammit man! Now you've gone too far! Posidrive screwdrivers and Estonian Mudcatters are one thing! But Bridge is way beyond the limits of what is acceptable! I have given explicit instructions to my friends and family members that if I am ever caught playing Bridge or golf either one, that I will obviously no longer be in possession of my senses and should be immediately euthanized by whatever means is closest at hand. Even if it is "Thread Bridge", it's still Bridge and, as such, falls under the category of things that washed-up half-dead old farts wearing Depends do on Tuesday afternoons.

Shame on you!

On the other hand, if you can come up with a thread version of Extreme Croquet it'd be really cool.

John9 not have much to say did he?

Extreme croquet.... Just like regular croquet, only instead of being played on a nice level lawn you try to make the playing field as similar to a U.S. Marine Corps obstacle course as possible. The best naturally occurring playing fields seem to be the "front lawns" of mobile homes in trailer parks. Also, you get extra points for banking shots off of your opponents' shinbones. Full-protection headgear is highly recommended. Commonly played by "teams" of which at least one member is actually an infiltrator from the other side who will, upon his turn, attempt to knock the ball exactly where you don't want it to go.

Yeeeehaaaawwww!!!!

Waste of bandwidth, Oakley old sot. How about searching for real life?
