Thirteenth! - DPChallenge Forums

12/22/2008 02:28:41 AM · #1

Can anyone beat six 13th place finishes? I think I had seven of 'em at one time - somewhere along the line there must have been a DQ. The reason I ask is I decided to collect 13th place finishes. Everyone needs a hobby. So I have six of 'em now. Sadly, I just racked up two 14th place finishes. Bummer. I'd start collecting those, but I only have three so far. And three 12ths. I suppose I could branch out. I may try for 22nds next year.

My best finish placement wise for 13th is 13 out of 432 (darned impressive, yes?) and I have a 13th with a score of 6.8127, which would win a few challenges these days...

So, can anyone beat six 13th place finishes?

I'm hoping someone in the Stars challenge in 1-12 wants to self-DQ....

Well maybe if one of their villages burned, they would be unable to provide the original and...

You never know what could happen in this crazy mixed up world full of mixed up crazy people. :)

I'm right there with ya Deb - my highest ever is a 13th place too.

You're just better at it than me :P

I think I shall consider 13th the new 1st. Which means my last two challenges came in 2nd! Woot! AND I'll consider 31st the new 3rd. Everything in between will essentially be 2nd. Girl's gotta have goals!

(And I currently have eleven challenge entries with 13 comments. Getting there...)

I live 15 minutes from Hershey and like dark chocolate......Try again.....8>)

Oh my dear misguided man.... Hershey's is good, but it is nothing like good German, Swiss, or Belgian chocolate. I'd offer "L" glass, but you're a Nikon guy and I've already apparently sent it to IreneM's husband to prevent Slippy from getting his hands on it. So I guess I'm stuck with 14th, huh? That's cool. I can start collecting those, too.

My highest so far is 19th.

My goal is a top ten finish for 2009.

And I am SOOOOOOOO a dark chocolate lover!

BTW, we get Hershey's products here you'll never see, and sometimes even isn't listed anywhere.

Don't forget, there are Hershey factory workers here!.......8>)

I have in my fridge at the moment a single long bar of 85% cacao chocolate. Dark chocolate abounds here. And the milk chocolate (at least from Milka) has me eating milk chocolate again, which I swore off after discovering the dark side. Amazing stuff, chocolate. Mmmm..... might just have to go break off a piece before I get back to house cleaning....

I think 13 is a fine number. Never did consider it unlucky. And yeah, 13th out of 616 is pretty darned impressive!
