Well, since Peace didn't make "The 85 Billion Thread Poster of the Year" I suggest we declare him "The 85 Billion Thread Poster Child"!

Just think of it! A photo of Peace dressed in rags panhandling on a street corner, with a caption that reads, "I posted to the 85 Billion Thread, and look where it got me! Don't make the same mistake!"

I'd like to thank the academy, the producer, my parents, and all the little people who helped make this award possible.

I think we all deserve something. Maybe a t-shirt with something like "85 Billion Thread - 2006 Virtual Getaway"

I looked for a link with a picture of somebody wearing ragged clothes but couldn't find one I liked. Where is Emma B. when you need her? She would have posted one already. I want to dedicate the award to her.

Now the race is on for Poster of the Year, 2007! Good luck to all but be assured, I will not relinquish my crown without a tussle.

Could it become more, say, 1967? Or maybe 1588? Or maybe 2009? Perhaps with a little effort it could become, I dunno, more September or something.

You don't need to go to Seattle to see the sun not shine. You can come to Floribama. We've had Seattle weather for a week, but without any of the things that make Seattle bearable in spite of the weather.

Would you say "Gee, it's all about making a billion dollars (US), not about having the billion"? Would you say, "It's all about repairing the roof, not about the roof not leaking"?

Nope. It's the destination.

          NEWS HEADLINES Daily Rag February 2007

'SHOCK HORROR!!!, 85 Billion thread Poster of Year 2006 has doubts about achieving thread aims. Is the thread all washed up?..... More on page 2'

KB this could be a newspaper's headline. Do you not realise how what you might say in jest could be used by the media? Does the position and responsibility of Poster of the Year mean nothing to you? Frankly I am shocked. While the journey is naturally a massive part of this thread (which is fortunate) to suggest we might never make 85 billion could put off potential posters. It seems I have not returned from my holiday a day too soon.

I had a very nice holiday by the way, except that Slag thinks I'm a girl.

I was attempting to light a fire and get the post count rolling again. We seem to have slowed lately. It didn't occur to me that others could use my comments for ill. I regret not thinking it through properly.

I noticed that slag thinks you are a girl. Maybe you should try tying in a lower register. Sad to say but it may just be due to the fact that you were so respectful while on the 5,000 thread.
