Wow. That's over 6,000 pots! And both Silke's and Deb's totals have at leat 100 bonus points in there. I know many others in the top 20 have quite a few bonus points as well.


I think I'll go ahead and say that the secret prize for this contest will come from the Top 20. And I'll even let you know my secret method for picking someone at random-- I ask Stagg to pick a number between 1 & 20.

The list of who got bonus points is very long. If you are interested in the complete list, let me know and I will post it here. But I will say that I awarded 580 bonus points for threads over 25 posts long. That is quite alot of posts!


Oh, and its in my signature and somewhere else, but I want to mention it here, too: In addition to there being a prize for November's top poster, there will be an additional prize for a random "place" (ie 17th place) but probably not 17th place, but you never know.

[Barb]

I wouldn't mind seeing the list. :shuffle:

[Bev]

:woa: That's a lot of posts!

I'm with Barb. :heee:

[sheila]

updated! And I've added the Top 20 posters list, too. :ok:

[Mandi]

Dayum, Deb is chatty. :lol: WTG, Deb!

[Jayne]

That is so cool! We are having so much fun with this! It was a great idea for a great game Sheila (I think it was you who thought of it :dunno: )

[Barb]

Dayum, Deb is chatty. :lol: WTG, Deb!

And everyone else is asleep when she's on, so who is she chatting with? :lol:

[Bridget]

Hey I made the list but I'm not near the top... so no one can hold my BS against me! :heee:

[schwanda]

Wow we talk alot about nothing! :lol: Go us!!!

Amanda

[Bridget]

Wow we talk alot about nothing! :lol: Go us!!!

Amanda

:silly:

Oops I forgot I had to post text to submit this. DITTO AMANDA. :lol:

[Jayne]

But the Nothing talk has really gotten interesting at times :lol:

[sheila]

I've certainly learned some new things.

[Barb]

Seinfeld was a whole show about nothing. Nothing can be funny and informative. :nod:

[TtownAnne]

Ooooh, I just barely broke into the Top 20!

[schwanda]

Seinfeld was a whole show about nothing. Nothing can be funny and informative. :nod:

Yup! I agree. That's why I've been an active participant in talking about nothing! :lol:

Amanda

[Bev]

Ooooh, I just barely broke into the Top 20!
This is quite an acheivement considering you were away for a week. I think it should read Dayum! Anne is chatty! :lol:

Deb's talking to herself because no one else will listen! :lol:

[MrsPeacefrog]

Deb's talking to herself because no one else will listen! :lol:

:flippy:


:giggle:


And I will say that now daylight savings is over for you guys and has started for me, it gives me an extra 2 hours with people ACTUALLY online with me! :lol: So you all should be thankful that it's only 6 months out of the year you have to put up with my babbling crap :heee:

Anyway you all don't know what you are missing, there is nothing like a conversation with yourself :lol:

Ok, now I am going to go hide these scores from Tony, it's a wonder I get the kids fed and bathed :blush:

[Jayne]

:lol: I know that feeling Deb. If Dan realized how much I post here he would wonder how the heck I take care of my own children let alone the fact that I am a Nanny :lol:

[Barb]

You guys are the only ones who know how much time I spend here. :shuffle:

[Darcy]

You guys are all cracking me up. :lol:

The last few games have been very entertaining. I'm just bummed that all this stuff didn't happen while I was employed 7 months ago. I would feel a little less guilty ignoring work than I do ignoring the kids now. :shuffle:

[Clare]

I'm shocked that I'm in the top 10 :faint:

Subliminal message to Stagg - number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9

:lol:

[Barb]

Nice Beatles reference. :)

[Clare]

:lol: Barb, I was wondering if anyone else would get it :)

[Barb]

I may be the only one. I say that in real life and get the weirdest looks.

[Jayne]

I am lost..I don't get it..but then again..I am often in left field :lol:

[Nichole]

I got it! :aok: But only because they used to use it on a local radio station's countdown. :lol:

[Barb]

Jayne - It's from the White Album. It's a cut called "Revolution #9", I believe. It's one of the Beatles, John I think, saying "number nine, number nine" over and over and over. It's very trippy.

[Jayne]

:lol: I took a History of the Beatles class and I really didn't get it, I am so very sad :lol:

[Barb]

I did some googling. I was kind of wrong. It's the longest Beatles song ever (8 minutes) and there are actually some lyrics:

[Bottle of Claret for you if I had realized…

Well, do it next time.

I forgot about it, George, I'm sorry.
Will you forgive me?

Yes.]

Number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9, number

Then there's this Welsh Rarebit wearing some brown underpants
About the shortage of grain in Hertfordshire
Everyone of them knew that as time went by
They'd get a little bit older and a litter slower but
It's all the same thing, in this case manufactured by someone who's always
Umpteen your father's giving it diddly-i-dee
District was leaving, intended to pay for

Number 9, number 9

Who's to know?
Who was to know?

Number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9

I sustained nothing worse than
Also for example
Whatever you're doing
A business deal falls through
I informed him on the third night
When fortune gives

Number 9, number 9, number 9

People ride, people ride
Ride, ride, ride, ride, ride
Ride! Ride!

9, number 9, number 9, number 9

I've missed all of that
It makes me a few days late
Compared with, like, wow!
And weird stuff like that
Taking our sides sometimes
Floral bark
Rouge doctors have brought this specimen

I have nobody's short-cuts, aha…

9, number 9

With the situation

They are standing still

The plan, the telegram

Ooh ooh

Number 9, number

Ooh

A man without terrors from beard to false
As the headmaster reported to me
My son he really can try as they do to find function
Tell what he was saying, and his voice was low and his hive high
And his eyes were low

Alright!

Number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9

So the wife called me and we'd better go to see a surgeon
Or whatever to price it… yellow underclothes
So, any road, we went to see the dentist instead
Who gave her a pair of teeth which wasn't any good at all
So I said I'd marry, join the fucking navy and went to sea

In my broken chair, my wings are broken and so is my hair
I'm not in the mood for whirling

Um da
Aaah

How?
Dogs for dogging, hands for clapping
Birds for birding and fish for fishing
Them for themming and when for whimming

Only to find the night-watchman
Unaware of his presence in the building

Onion soup

Number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9

Industrial output
Financial imbalance

Thrusting it between his shoulder blades

The Watusi
The twist

Eldorado

Take this brother, may it serve you well

Maybe it's nothing
Aaah
Maybe it's nothing
What? What? Oh

Maybe even then
Impervious in London
Could be difficult thing
It's quick like rush for peace is
Because it's so much
It was like being naked

If you became naked

[MrsPeacefrog]

I get it, but only because of the episode of the Simpsons when Barnie is with Yoko Ono and they are being "artists" and he says

"burp, Number 9. burp, Number 9. burp, Number 9"

:lol: don't hit me!

[Nichole]

Nah, they didn't do any drugs. :scan: :lol:

That's hilarious, Deb! :lol:

[Clare]

Nope, no drugs :lol:

[sheila]

Yeah, no drugs at all.

I got the reference, I'm a little curious to see if Stagg will get it when I show it to him.

[Bridget]

:lol: Barb, I was wondering if anyone else would get it :)

I didn't get it either. :bawl:


:lol:

[schwanda]

Supposedly if you played Revolution #9 backwards (the record - remember those???) it said, "Paul is dead." There was this whole rumor that Paul had died and the Rolling Stones were going to take over as the #1 band.... I don't remember the whole deal but it was something like that. I think the cover of the Sgt Pepper's album was supposed to have references to Paul being dead, too.

Amanda

[Darcy]

Wow Clare. You created quite the discussion here. :)

It's the Abbey Road album. Paul is barefoot and John is supposedly dressed as an undertaker.

Maybe we need to start a Beatles discussion thread :lol:

[Sandy]

You guys are deep. I just thought it was funny. :lol:
