| Was just thinking how unwinnable this actually is. Even if the thread died for a while (right) as soon as someone noticed they would post declaring they were the winner. But then, since the thread was resurrected, people will just post to it again...and again...rinse and repeat for as long as the site is up. So it is not winnable until Langdon decides to shut it down and then we would never know who actually posted last. So it is a losing thread no matter how you look at it. |

Oh, I haven't forgotten about the numbers...haven't got it to work automatically yet. Manual scans are extremely slow. Anyway, just thought I'd throw out one little tidbit: On April 20, 2010 at 6:21:28 Art Roflmao made his first post to this thread and it was the 44th post to the thread.
Through the first 2000 posts displayed at 200 posts per page, Art averaged 62.2 posts per page for a total of 622 posts - 31.1%

| Well, you're almost right ... any SC could post and lock the thread (as was posted probably around page 3) and "win" as long as other SC members are willing to go along. |

That would be as bad as electing Trump for president. Oh yeah, we did that.

I did that once for kicks 'n giggles not long after you guys goofed wised up and brought me on board. I think I shut 'er down for half an hour or something. Declared myself the winner and all. But it was an exceedingly hollow and short-lived victory :-) |

Well, I remember when I was seventeen,
My father told me, "Pick your dreams."
He said life ain't easy as it seems.
When you get older you'll see what I mean. |

But now I live my life from day to day
I wouldn't have it any other way
Whether I'm twelve or whether I'm sixty-four
I spend my time like there ain't gonna be no more |

Next, Please Philip Larkin
Always too eager for the future, we
Pick up bad habits of expectancy.
Something is always approaching; every day
Till then we say,
Watching from a bluff the tiny, clear,
Sparking armada of promises draw near.
How slow they are! And how much time they waste,
Refusing to make haste!
Yet still they leave us holding wretched stalks
Of disappointment, for, though nothing balks
Each big approach, leaning with brasswork prinked,
Each rope distinct,
Flagged, and the figurehead with golden tits
Arching our way, it never anchors; it's
No sooner present than it turns to past.
Right to the last
We think each one will heave to and unload
All good into our lives, all we are owed
For waiting so devoutly and so long.
But we are wrong:
Only one ship is seeking us, a black-
Sailed unfamiliar, towing at her back
A huge and birdless silence. In her wake
No waters breed or break. |
