Subject: BS: Slowest....thread............ever....... From: Little Hawk Date: 05 Aug 05 - 04:09 PM Okay... Here we go.... This is to be the slowest thread ever. To be slow, it must receive very, very, very few posts. Preferably only one a day. But it must continue, day after day, week after week, month after month, year after year. Please post to this thread very sporadically and very occasionally, just enough to keep it from vanishing completely. Try to say boring things that interest no one. That should do it. Let's see if we can master this latest concept and make it fly...like...a...lead.........balloon. Do it for Bill (Shatner). Go. But go slowly. |

Subject: RE: BS: Slowest....thread............ever....... From: Bill D Date: 06 Aug 05 - 11:58 AM THE DUMMY LINE Across the prairie on a streak of rust There's something moving in a cloud of dust It crawls into the valley with a wheeze and whine It's the two o'clock flyer on the Dummy Line Riding on the Dummy, on the Dummy Line Rain or shine, I'll pay my fine Rain or shine I'll pay my fine Riding on the Dummy, on the Dummy Line I saw a snail go whizzing past A guy said, my, this train is going fast Said I, Old man, that may be true But the question is, What's it fastened to? I said to the brakeman, can't you speed up a bit? Said he, You can walk, if you don't like it Said I, Old man, I'd take your dare But the folks don't expect me till the train gets there |

Subject: RE: BS: Slowest....thread............ever....... From: Rustic Rebel Date: 07 Aug 05 - 05:03 PM Broom closets. I keep a broom in my broom closet. I also have a dustpan in my broom closet. If I didn't have a broom closet I would have to keep my broom in a corner somewhere. I'm very lucky to have a broom closet don't you think? I really like my broom closet. It stays fairly cool and dark. I respect the builder of my home when he built a broom closet. He was a thoughtful person. My broom closet is small but not smaller than my broom and it also fits a dustpan....... |

Subject: RE: BS: Slowest....thread............ever....... From: Bunnahabhain Date: 08 Aug 05 - 11:15 AM Don't ask me how it's done, but the snails are moving at sensible speeds. Using the bottom one as a reference, the others are moving at 2x,3x,4x and 5x faster than it. The lowest common multiple of these is 60, so once every 60 crossings of the lowest snail, all the snails will be in a perfect staight line. I tink it it's a variant on marquee, but don't quote me... Bunnahabhain. PS, this post will not exist until tomorrow. |

Subject: RE: BS: Slowest....thread............ever....... From: Bee-dubya-ell Date: 08 Aug 05 - 07:27 PM Okay, here's how JennyO made the snails move at different speeds. Instead of just using the [marquee]* HTML tag she used [marquee scrollamount="5"] as the fastest, [marquee scrollamount="4"] next slowest, etc. *(Change the square brackets to angle brackets, but you know that.)
