Not that we want to compare ourselves to them, there are a lot more knitters than OTB regulars but, does anybody want to know how many posts are in that thread?

As or 5:30pm today - 234,810 posts.
There are 150,000+ members of Ravelry. There are 2625 members of the Completely Pointless and Arbitrary Group.
We might have them beat in posts per member.
I've never posted in that thread.
The button for this group is a picture of David Beckham and Posh Spice. The moderator said that's what she got when she google 'Completely Pointless and Arbitrary'. I do find that amusing.

The anecdote was cute. Much cuter than any of his comics. I'm also not cool with continuing the artist's work after they've moved onto greener pastures. In the case of Family Circle, I don't see any obvious decline in quality.Quote:

The attempt at parody actually intrigues me a bit more. Definitely in the vein of the old style Muppet stuff, etc.Quote:

Watched exactly 5 minutes of the Colbert Christmas special, the part with Jon Stewart, didn't laugh. I would have watched Elvis Costello if I'd stumbled across it at the right time. Can't recommend this Christmas special although I did get a 'folks dropping by Bing's' vibe from it. It wasn't a good enough parody.
Now the Andy Williams Last Gasp Christmas Special should be great this year.
Yes, that's a joke.
It is still early, but we have a ways to go to get to our daily quota.
No we don't.Quote:
