LONG LIVE THE MEGA-POST!
You should be able to view it again, but Masako had to shut off the comments at…
3821.
She had to delete one spam comment to get it viewable again (link).
Please, let’s hear a big round of applause for all of you who posted in the Mega-Post and kept it alive for a year and four months. Please use this comment thread to post your fondest memories of the post with the most…
the Mega-Post.
Dang. Missed the 6Kth post. And the party full of those little umbrellas.
Striving towards 7K…
Blimey! I’ve caused a page jump too.
These things used to be reliable on even numbers.
I believe all posters would say “you are the most even contributor, Steve.”
BTW:-Did your wife bring back any large stone souvenirs? Some are missing from the Wiltshire sites.
Amen, Nxxx.
‘Even’ is definitely the word.
Yes siree.
Friends, I don’t know if I can make it to 7000, unless I have a bottle of something to fortify me. Or a case. Or cases, depending on how long it will take.
“Are we there yet?”
Nxxx – I figured I was “odd,” if anything. Then again, “odd” around here is close to “normal” depending on the day.
I didn’t notice any large stones. How large are they? I can look around the house (not many hiding places).
Please explain “normal,” in universal terms. In my house, “normal” means nothing is currently on fire, or it may refer specifically to those things not on fire if something is burning out of control.
Rip,
We could have done with you on this side of the pons, this Winter/Spring.
Rip,
According to a sign in my stylist’s shop, “normal is just a setting on the hair dryer.”
That should suffice for our purposes.
There is no “Normal” setting on an iFlame, however. Starts at Char, then “goes to eleven.”
Yes but at setting eleven, you can turn all the bread within 100 yards into toast.
‘Normal’ is what we do here, clearly.
Sniffing around the disintegrating bowels in the decaying carcass of a website in the hope that out of strength might come forth sweetness (or ‘pie’, as our American cousins might put it).
Oh, and I presume we all type this stuff naked?
And lubed.
Presume away, but I’m wearing a bunny suit.
So I can see.
. . .
Er . . . did I say that out loud?
Sorry, didn’t catch that–did you say something?
Anyway, to clarify on the bunny suit: it’s one of those clean-room suits that people wear when manufacturing circuit boards, but I wear it at all times to protect those around me. so far, so good.
Very disappointed Ace.
Thought it was a Playboy Bunny suit.
No, it’s more of a “boy in the bubble” type thing. I’m allergic to reality, or reality is allergic to me.
Only another nine hundred and ninety-eight to go, if the saintly Moltz will allow it.
998 what? I didn’t think my math skills had deteriorated that badly.
Tho’ it could be the whisky talking. Technology! Whisky! Sexy!
Nxxx may have meant 978, which would have had real meaning at the time, but we’ve moved on and the magic number is now 975.
I might not survive the trek.
Wot wiz it Shakespoke had Enry Five say, “Stiffen the nostrils and on this charge cry, God for Moltz and the Mega-Post.”
I feel better now.
Just checking in. Yep, just as I thought…
Hang on, I’ve just realised I haven’t said anything crass or dumb for a while.
I do apologise.
It’s not just that I’ve let you all down. The worst thing is that I’ve let myself down.
Oh, hang on.
I’m back, baby!
I thought the new magic number was 616, according to the newly discovered Oxyrhynchus fragment.
Johann D’ Moltzi
931 (after this one) and counting.
OK, it’s a cheap stunt, but what do you expect around here?
I note our absent leader has been busy . . .

But what we want to know is . . . where’s our shout out, eh? Keeping things bubbling away back here while he’s off galavanting.
You know sometimes I don’t think he realises we’re as important to his success as we all know we are.
Does galavanting hurt?
I have one of those galvanized buckets, and could do some cranial damage with it. Were I inclined to do so (for the moment, I’m fairly upright).
Hey! I got anonymised!
How rude!
An acute observation, Steve, by the way. I don’t want to be accused of a knee-jerk reflex, but the last thing we need around here is any more obtuse tomfoolery.
What does “obtuse tomfoolery” mean, please?
For example, a cream pie to the face, delivered by a person to the side or behind the recipient.
So it it alright from in front?
This is harder than Fowler’s.
From the front it is called “acute tomfoolery.”
Nxxx, on this side of the pond, us lawyer types tend to follow Bryan Garner, who based his work on Fowler. Though I don’t think Moltz would spring for his speaking fee to help clarify this for us.
Your attempts to improve my education is appreciated ladies.
Speaking of ladies…where have they all gone?
Ace,
Are you Pete Seeger?
He asked “Where have all the flowers gone?”
Isn’t he dead?
Last time I checked, I wasn’t dead. Completely, that is.
Is it possible to arrange a poll?
Must we answer every question with a question?
Why not?
Are we playing “Questions Only” like from Whose Line?
Have you got a better idea?
Good training for a politician.
Have you heard that a new edition of Whose Line will be airing in the US in July?
Will it have Ryan Stiles?
Maybe we could export Clive Anderson?
Ace, would you watch if it did?
Would you watch if it had Colin Mochrie?
Would you believe that this is the link?
BroMu, could you send Tony Slattery instead?
Must be getting really old, only name I recognised was Clive Anderson.
Probably would not watch or even be aware I was watching.
Life is good.
I will definitely watch it if Jonathan Winters is one of the crew!
You can have him piece by piece, Steve.
Freight.
BroMu,
Forget it then. I’m sure adding in the VAT would kill the transaction.
But . . . he has no value to tax?
Surely HMG should be paying you you take him off our hands?
