Subject: BS: Yee-Haaaa!!! I finally did it!!!! From: Little Hawk Date: 14 Feb 05 - 02:44 PM Yes! I finally did it. At 12:43 on February 13th I launched a BS thread intended to be so infernally boring and unappealing that NO ONE would post to it, and it would fall off the board unresponded to. It has done so. AWRIGHHHTTT! It took stealth and cunning to pull off this coup. I launched the thread under a fictional psuedonym, so as not to attract my many fans, comrades, and opponents. I made sure that the subject was something no one could possibly have any interest in. At last! I launched a thread that died at birth. I have achieved the almost impossible dream. My belief in God, Shatner, and ripe mangos has been vindicated. I have attained the glory sought by many, but experienced by very, very few. I have achieved....SHATNERIZATION! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! (laughing maniacally....) |

Subject: RE: BS: Yee-Haaaa!!! I finally did it!!!! From: Little Hawk Date: 14 Feb 05 - 02:50 PM Yeah? Tough. Believe it, man. I did it. I bet you can't equal this amazing feat. |

Subject: RE: BS: Yee-Haaaa!!! I finally did it!!!! From: Little Hawk Date: 14 Feb 05 - 02:53 PM Odd...I know people who can talk and walk at the same time. What conclusion do we draw from that? |

Subject: RE: BS: Yee-Haaaa!!! I finally did it!!!! From: Amos Date: 14 Feb 05 - 02:58 PM Actually, I did a little inspection, Little Hawk. I don't know which thread of no interest was yours, but in the last week Shanghaiceltic, Charley Noble and I have ALL accomplished the same feat without even thinking about it! Ha!!! Ha!!!! Howdja like THEM apples? A |

Subject: RE: BS: Yee-Haaaa!!! I finally did it!!!! From: Little Hawk Date: 14 Feb 05 - 03:01 PM Oh! Well done, BPL. You have joined an elite and august company of souls with that thread. You too have achieved Shatnerization, and I suspect you did it in all innocence, which counts for a special award. You will shortly recieve a small gilded statue of William Shatner holding a phaser and looking very determined. |

Subject: RE: BS: Yee-Haaaa!!! I finally did it!!!! From: Don(Wyziwyg)T Date: 14 Feb 05 - 03:01 PM I gotta hand it to you little hawk, "The Belgian Tiddly bowl", it had to be a winner. Where do you buy your inspiration, and what is the brand. I want to see if I can get some on my next visit to Harrods. DT |

Subject: RE: BS: Yee-Haaaa!!! I finally did it!!!! From: Little Hawk Date: 14 Feb 05 - 03:03 PM Okay, fine, Amos. But it ain't easy. Trust me on this. It's like mounting a button on a wall saying, "Don't push me" and having everyone just walk by for 24 hours. It takes talent to do that. We should have a Hall of Fame for 1 post threads. |

Subject: RE: BS: Yee-Haaaa!!! I finally did it!!!! From: Little Hawk Date: 14 Feb 05 - 03:08 PM I had to think about it some, Don. First off, Belgium seems to hold the crown for "most uninteresting country possible". Why that is, I do not know, but it was a start. Then there's tiddlywinks. Talk about a boring game! Only the English could invent such stupidity and call it a game. I figured, combine the two...and see what happens. Absolutely nothing happened. Bingo! We have no liftoff! Objective achieved. |

Subject: RE: BS: Yee-Haaaa!!! I finally did it!!!! From: Little Hawk Date: 14 Feb 05 - 03:39 PM Well, it would be interesting to see Hull...and I long to have a good look at Twillingsgate and track down the Rutledge mansion and maybe get a couple of candid pictures of Penelope out riding or something like that. Actually, Amos, I should have pointed out that the special glory attached to getting a thread ignored in the BS section is what really counts. 1 post threads in the music section are fairly common and humdrum. But to slip something past the busy, yet idle minds in the BS department is not easy... |

Subject: RE: BS: Yee-Haaaa!!! I finally did it!!!! From: Bill D Date: 14 Feb 05 - 03:46 PM *grin*...you barely got away with it. I saw it, but was busy.... now, next trick...do it on a weekday! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Yee-Haaaa!!! I finally did it!!!! From: Bill D Date: 14 Feb 05 - 03:48 PM fuuny thing is: I was just about to say here that Lichenstein is FAR duller than Belgium.....Belgium has beer! |

Subject: RE: BS: Yee-Haaaa!!! I finally did it!!!! From: skipy Date: 14 Feb 05 - 03:50 PM I take the challenge! Skipy |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Yee-Haaaa!!! I finally did it!!!! From: Little Hawk Date: 14 Feb 05 - 03:52 PM Okay, Skipy, here is my advice. Wait a few days or until next week. People will have forgotten. Then do like Bill says, and try it on a weekday. Best of luck! |

Subject: RE: BS: Yee-Haaaa!!! I finally did it!!!! From: John Hardly Date: 14 Feb 05 - 03:52 PM big deal. I did it a few times without a pseudonym. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Yee-Haaaa!!! I finally did it!!!! From: Little Hawk Date: 14 Feb 05 - 03:54 PM What? In the BS section? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Yee-Haaaa!!! I finally did it!!!! From: Rustic Rebel Date: 14 Feb 05 - 04:05 PM I thought I was working on that claim to fame with the Love Radio, but I was successfully called a pervert on the second post! I will take that as an honor! So what was the thread called? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Yee-Haaaa!!! I finally did it!!!! From: Little Hawk Date: 14 Feb 05 - 04:38 PM It was called "Tiddly Bowl coming up in Belgium". Brucie has now refreshed it. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Yee-Haaaa!!! I finally did it!!!! From: 42 Date: 14 Feb 05 - 05:00 PM I thought it had something to do with toilets so I didn't bother since I hate cleaning toilets. j |

Subject: RE: BS: Yee-Haaaa!!! I finally did it!!!! From: Little Hawk Date: 14 Feb 05 - 05:18 PM Yes, I must admit it was an inspired title. My hope was that practically no one would even bother to open it. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Yee-Haaaa!!! I finally did it!!!! From: John O'L Date: 14 Feb 05 - 06:12 PM You only just squeaked it in, Little Hawk. I had a reply typed in and the curser was actually hovering over the "submit" button when I thought "Nah, this is just bullshit", deleted it, and moved on. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Yee-Haaaa!!! I finally did it!!!! From: John O'L Date: 14 Feb 05 - 06:22 PM The irony is that at that time of my almost-post, the thread had been there about 20 hours and my reply was something along the lines of "Damn! I've wasted nearly a whole day." |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Yee-Haaaa!!! I finally did it!!!! From: Bee-dubya-ell Date: 14 Feb 05 - 06:29 PM I too almost posted to it. But my glasses were dirty and I thought the thread title said "Lame-Assed Post By Broke-Dick Mamalucca" so I changed my mind. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Yee-Haaaa!!! I finally did it!!!! From: Little Hawk Date: 14 Feb 05 - 06:35 PM I think you need to check that prescription, Bee-Dub. Next thing you know, you'll be making passes at fence posts and wooden Indians, instead of driving the local wimmenz crazy... |

Subject: RE: BS: Yee-Haaaa!!! I finally did it!!!! From: DougR Date: 15 Feb 05 - 01:44 PM And that's why you launched another one, L.H., touting the glories of Canada? DougR |

Subject: RE: BS: Yee-Haaaa!!! I finally did it!!!! From: EagleWing Date: 15 Feb 05 - 03:45 PM "Then there's tiddlywinks. Talk about a boring game! Only the English could invent such stupidity and call it a game." Hey Hawk! Don't you malign my favourite sport. I'm pushing for it to be admitted as an Olympic contest and you go making rude remarks about it. If I'd realised the thread was about tiddlywinks I'd have filled up the thread with posts from anonymous GUESTs like a shot!! GUEST (Anonymous) |

Subject: RE: BS: Yee-Haaaa!!! I finally did it!!!! From: Don(Wyziwyg)T Date: 15 Feb 05 - 05:25 PM I have a hazy memory of learning that Tiddlywinks did not originate in England. Anyone know? If no one else claims it, then it is a sporting delight of skill and dexterity, which is understood only by us Brits, and much too heady an experience for you ex colonials. If, however, it is foreign, then it IS indeed a boring game of mind numbing stupidity. I do SO want it to be French.(grin) Don T. |

Subject: RE: BS: Yee-Haaaa!!! I finally did it!!!! From: Little Hawk Date: 15 Feb 05 - 05:40 PM Heh! I understand your perspective on that perfectly, Don. Tiddlywinks is a game almost anyone would want to pin on the French. Doug, what are you on about now? Or to put it another way...what are you on, period? :-) |

Subject: RE: BS: Yee-Haaaa!!! I finally did it!!!! From: skipy Date: 15 Feb 05 - 06:46 PM Longer Little Hawk, I'm going to wait at least 2 million years! Skipy |
