Subject: RE: BS: Will this thread reach 85 billion posts? From: GUEST,KB Date: 13 Nov 06 - 04:52 PM I think The Shambles might really be the hornets nest we shouldn't poke. 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. |

Subject: RE: BS: Will this thread reach 85 billion posts? From: GUEST,KB Date: 13 Nov 06 - 04:57 PM I have been driving past a possum twice a day for the last week so catching one shouldn't be a problem. |
Subject: RE: BS: Will this thread reach 85 billion posts? From: IWTATBM Date: 13 Nov 06 - 05:17 PM You impossumable, that's what you are.... |
Subject: RE: BS: Will this thread reach 85 billion posts? From: GUEST,KB Date: 13 Nov 06 - 05:21 PM Then again, maybe I have driving past an Opossum. Do I detect another controversy? |
Subject: RE: BS: Will this thread reach 85 billion posts? From: Rapparee Date: 13 Nov 06 - 05:22 PM And they're pre-tenderized! I do think that if you cannot define the controversial threads your education is lacking in scope, depth, and width, and I will not presume to correct it by demonstrating what is obvious to any semi-educated person. |
Subject: RE: BS: Will this thread reach 85 billion posts? From: GUEST,KB Date: 13 Nov 06 - 05:23 PM Huh? I don't get it. |
Subject: RE: BS: Will this thread reach 85 billion posts? From: IWTATBM Date: 13 Nov 06 - 05:37 PM Me neither, but i think he's got a point. |
Subject: RE: BS: Will this thread reach 85 billion posts? From: GUEST,KB Date: 13 Nov 06 - 05:41 PM Yeah, but when he wears a hat nobody can tell. |
Subject: RE: BS: Will this thread reach 85 billion posts? From: Emma B Date: 13 Nov 06 - 05:48 PM I see what you mean |

Subject: RE: BS: Will this thread reach 85 billion posts? From: IWTATBM Date: 16 Nov 06 - 02:26 PM What happened yesterday? No Mudcat at all, not even a note saying it was offline for a bit. 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. |
Subject: RE: BS: Will this thread reach 85 billion posts? From: GUEST,KB Date: 17 Nov 06 - 01:31 PM It was eerie. I would hit my bookmark, the little blue line would slowly grow, and then, nothing. No 404 error, no 'forbidden' message, nothing. Oh, well. |
Subject: RE: BS: Will this thread reach 85 billion posts? From: Emma B Date: 17 Nov 06 - 04:44 PM Believe it! |
Subject: RE: BS: Will this thread reach 85 billion posts? From: IWTATBM Date: 18 Nov 06 - 04:04 PM Loved the video Emma B. Yes it does seem that the cat will always come back - though this one is more welcome! |
Subject: RE: BS: Will this thread reach 85 billion posts? From: IWTATBM Date: 20 Nov 06 - 03:18 PM Wake up 85 billioners!! |
Subject: RE: BS: Will this thread reach 85 billion posts? From: Peace Date: 20 Nov 06 - 03:19 PM "Wake up 85 billioners!!" It's everything I can do to wake myself up. |
Subject: RE: BS: Will this thread reach 85 billion posts? From: IWTATBM Date: 20 Nov 06 - 03:23 PM Maybe I was a little over optimistic. OK wake up 5 people. |
Subject: RE: BS: Will this thread reach 85 billion posts? From: GUEST,what, what, what ? Date: 20 Nov 06 - 03:26 PM OK I've just woken up five people. NOW what the hell do I do ? |
Subject: RE: BS: Will this thread reach 85 billion posts? From: IWTATBM Date: 20 Nov 06 - 03:30 PM 3 more people and I've achieved my 5 (by wake I meant post myself). I have doubts whether you really have woken up 5 people what, what what? Have you really really woken up 5 people genuinely? |
Subject: RE: BS: Will this thread reach 85 billion posts? From: IWTATBM Date: 20 Nov 06 - 03:53 PM I've had a think and realised that i shouldn't have doubted the fact that you've woken up 5 people what, what, what? Of course you have or you wouldn't have said it. I don't know what you do next though, I didn't think that far. I guess some of them are pretty annoyed. Could you blame me? |
Subject: RE: BS: Will this thread reach 85 billion posts? From: Emma B Date: 20 Nov 06 - 04:19 PM did someone call? |
Subject: RE: BS: Will this thread reach 85 billion posts? From: GUEST,KB Date: 20 Nov 06 - 04:58 PM I just had the strangest dream... |
Subject: RE: BS: Will this thread reach 85 billion posts? From: IWTATBM Date: 20 Nov 06 - 05:00 PM Yes, yes, yes, and? |
Subject: RE: BS: Will this thread reach 85 billion posts? From: GUEST,KB Date: 20 Nov 06 - 05:03 PM I'm awake now. Don't really remember much about the dream. I've always been that way. I'll wake up with these vivid images bouncing around in my head and within a couple of minutes I'm hard pressed to recall any of it. |
Subject: RE: BS: Will this thread reach 85 billion posts? From: IWTATBM Date: 20 Nov 06 - 05:06 PM You've built all our hopes up about the dream and now you say you've forgotten it? Is there nothing you remember at all? |
Subject: RE: BS: Will this thread reach 85 billion posts? From: GUEST,KB Date: 20 Nov 06 - 05:15 PM About what? |
Subject: RE: BS: Will this thread reach 85 billion posts? From: IWTATBM Date: 20 Nov 06 - 05:18 PM Dreamgate of course. Goodnight and sweet ..... |
Subject: RE: BS: Will this thread reach 85 billion posts? From: Peace Date: 20 Nov 06 - 05:34 PM "To sleep? Perchance to dream! Ay there's the kitten! For in that sleep of house cats what dreams may come when we have shuffled off this mortal feline, must give us paws..." OK, it needs a little editing, but I might be onto something here. |

Subject: RE: BS: Will this thread reach 85 billion posts? From: GUEST,KB Date: 21 Nov 06 - 09:27 AM Last night I had a crazy dream About a chick in a black bikini Oh she looked so good she couldn't be real So she must be a magic genie But then she disappeared around a corner All I saw were three doors and the top of her bikini I made it through the first door there was a party going on I asked about the chick but what they said was this REFRAIN Chick-a-boom chick-a-boom don't ya jes' love it Chick-a-boom chick-a-boom don't ya jes' love it Chick-a-boom chick-a-boom don't ya jes' love it Chick-a-boom chick-a-boom-boom-boom I found the bottom half By the second door Which took me to Africa I presume This really far out cat was screaming half crazy "Bomp bom a loo bom a lomp bam boo" I said hey man cut that jive And tell me where the chick went But he looked at me as crazed as could be And said these words but I wonder what he meant REFRAIN Ah don't ya jes' love it Ooh don't ya jes' love it Don't ya love it don't ya love it Oh yeah don't ya love jes' it Don't ya jes' love it now I opened the third door and there she was And She just looked so sexy and oh ooh I tried to do the same and impress her with my style But why I said this I'll never know REFRAIN |
Subject: RE: BS: Will this thread reach 85 billion posts? From: IWTATBM Date: 21 Nov 06 - 11:30 AM That was a very weird dream indeed KB. And here's you saying earlier you couldn't remember them. |
Subject: RE: BS: Will this thread reach 85 billion posts? From: GUEST,KB Date: 21 Nov 06 - 12:28 PM This one was a bit more memorable than most. |
Subject: RE: BS: Will this thread reach 85 billion posts? From: IWTATBM Date: 21 Nov 06 - 04:25 PM I've decided not to post here tonight. Anybody else not posting either? |
Subject: RE: BS: Will this thread reach 85 billion posts? From: Emma B Date: 21 Nov 06 - 04:34 PM possibly......... |
Subject: RE: BS: Will this thread reach 85 billion posts? From: GUEST,KB Date: 21 Nov 06 - 04:52 PM Not posting to a thread... I think it's been done. |
Subject: RE: BS: Will this thread reach 85 billion posts? From: GUEST,KB Date: 21 Nov 06 - 04:57 PM BTW, our cat died (see posts from 14 Sept if you wonder). She had a growth in her cheek. It got to the point where she couldn't eat and could hardly take a drink. A couple of times she started bleeding from the mouth. 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. |
Subject: RE: BS: Will this thread reach 85 billion posts? From: Emma B Date: 21 Nov 06 - 05:03 PM sorry KB Housemate, I can think you still Bounding to the window-sill, Over which I vaguely see Your small mound beneath the tree, Showing in the autumn shade That you moulder where you played. Thomas Hardy my housemate lies under snowdrops where she sunned herself in happier days |
Subject: RE: BS: Will this thread reach 85 billion posts? From: GUEST,KB Date: 21 Nov 06 - 05:10 PM Thanks, Emma B. It took a few days before I stopped checking for her when I got into bed so I wouldn't squish her. At least the birds can eat in peace now. |

Subject: RE: BS: Will this thread reach 85 billion posts? From: IWTATBM Date: 24 Nov 06 - 11:42 AM Surely someone wants to claim the 800th post? 800, that's not far off a 1000 is it? 1000 posts eh, we should have a virtual party on that day. Anyone good at maths know when this might be, based on the posting levels so far? That might be a good time for me to quit this thread forever, finally, and once and for all. Hmmm.... |
