Wait a minute, I thought the LTE birthday was DECEMBER 20th.

Or were you talking about your own birthday from earlier in the week?

I feel like Unfrozen Caveman Lawyer.

I think that, if we really put our minds to it, we can throw down 1000 posts on the LTE's birthday. It's the Saturday before Christmas, and since we're all such diligent little elves, I know we'll all be done with our shopping. My friends' annual Christmas bash is at my house the night before, so I fully expect to be royally hung over. That makes me good for a lot of posts (and once I pull through, I suspect that another round of drinking will render my posts progressively more gratuitous and less coherent).
It would take 41.67 posts an hour for the entire day to get 1000. That's a post every 1:26.
Can we do it?

We have had a lot of difficulty but after three tries, we did manage to do an LTE post in every hour for 24 hours. I don't believe we got above twenty posts in any one hour.

Another complication is that 'breen is traveling that day.

Perhaps you could recruit greybeard and Shammrog to take billybreen's place?

Cheers,

Or we could set a more manageable goal, like 250 posts, slightly more than 10 an hour, that I bet we could do.

[Bostondevil]

Wow, we're closing in on 6000, seems like we just passed 5000. Is this thread finally picking up steam?

Their posts are WAYY too long

If we want to set a slightly higher goal - 366. The number of days the LTE has been existence on the anniversary date.

[TillyGalore]

Hopefully I will be done with my Christmas shopping. Perhaps that will be my Christmas craft present day. Nevertheless, will try to do my part to meet whatever goal we set for the day.

It is 12/20. I guess I was caught up in all the excitement of the anniversary. I will be in Charlotte, and shall have a pint or seven in honor of the thread.

Now that's a shameless post pad if I've ever seen one.

And if Sue's around on the boards tonight, YOU may be crossing into the 2,000 zone later today!!

Congrats!!

NOTE: which will mean you'll be hitting Spanarkel level soon as well, which will mean devildeac will post another three posts, you'll comment twice, and so will I.

Thanks. (bows graciously)

On post 5916, I staated three.

It would have been more genius to do it in FIVE threads.
