Re: Longest Running Thread EVER

It depends on the day. Today I woke up a 5. Yesterday was an 8. Haven't been a 10 yet and a bit scared what a day as a 10 would be like.

Re: A Thread for Random Musings

We need more "Water is not evil" posters if that thread is to stay alive and as amuzing as it has been.

Re: Longest Running Thread EVER

And here I was hoping to wake up to Kara's head on a grumpy bear.

Ummmm' date=' aren't squirrels owl food? [/quote']

You mean like this?

Re: Longest Running Thread EVER

Use this one:

Re: Longest Running Thread EVER

Ok' date=' I'm open for requests. Where to you want to see Kara's head next?[/quote']*measures his poll* Nope... only 10 ft. I'm not touching that one.

Re: Longest Running Thread EVER

Get me some Kara source pics and I'll do some photoshops.

Re: Longest Running Thread EVER

Least they could do is put me on better bodies.

Be careful what you wish for.

Re: Longest Running Thread EVER

And how would it be different from what Kara already is?

In that case we need Kara gone wilder.

I dunno. Is that the past tense of "go-go?"

 

-AA

No, that would be gone-gone.

Re: Longest Running Thread EVER

You know, AA. I bet if we could turn this into "Rachel or Kara gone wild", we could get those ratios going without the actual addition of pictures. But, this begs the questions:

1: What to we mean by gone wild?

2: How to we get them to go gone?

Re: A Thread for Random Musings

I need a quick vent... but this day has sucked big time. There, vented.

Re: Longest Running Thread EVER

Oh my ever loving... my friend has apparently created an account as as we speak is replying in Burning Times. I expect to see a totally chaotic outburst in that thread soon.

Re: Military Facility Maps

I have a map of a phony small RAF airbase if that would help.

Unfortunately, a airbase won't help but I appreciate the offer.

Re: Military Facility Maps

The Missile Silo isn't what I'm looking for directly, but does work. I can use this instead of one of the facilities I had in mind. But I at least need some sort of bunker map.

Re: Longest Running Thread EVER

I think we should factor in the WGAC Index. That stands for "Who Gives A Crap?" It uses the number of views a thread has to modify its number of replies. Based on my entirely unscientific observation, the average thread has roughly ten time the number of views as it does replies. So the WGAC Index is calculated by (views / replies * 10).

 

Here are the WGAC Indices for the threads with the most replies:

 

WAG1 .334

WAG2 .304

A&Q .657

Q&A .589

random about random .792

WAG1.5 .286

random 1.028

catsuit 2.239

opposites game .375

 

You can see that the game threads suck for WGAC, and sex definitely sells. So if we multiply the total replies by the WGAC Index, here are the current thread champs with their modified size:

 

WAG1 4834

catsuit 2976

WAG2 2400

random about random 2260

A&Q 2177

Q&A 1736

random 1524

WAG1.5 530

opposites game 440

 

WAG1 still wins by virtue of sheer volume, but one Catsuit reply is worth almost seven WAG1 replies. Now we have a more realistic goal to which this thread can aspire, a possible methodology to calculate how well we're doing, and scientific proof that I've got way too much time on my hands this morning.

Hell' date=' I can't keep up. lol[/quote']

I'm tired. I am very tired. I can't believe how I read that post initially...

Re: Longest Running Thread EVER

WAG 4 won't work, we still have to go for WAG 1 (on these boards).

 

Each post counts.

Re: Longest Running Thread EVER

Well, I'm off to bed. Gotta get some sleep and Rachel isn't posting it would seem so my power is draining.

Re: Longest Running Thread EVER

If the Word Association Game was the longers thread ever than this thread has to beat #14476 posts. Can we do it?

Let's tackle Catsuit first, then worry about the WAG threads. Maybe, as a pre-emptive strike... someone should create WAG 4.

Re: Longest Running Thread EVER

thanks. go back for the sequel

They made a sequal to GHOST!

Uh-huh. I commend to your attention this article:

Now that was a good movie.

The one major government report that was done on DDT' date=' back before it was outlawed, a many-hundred-page thing, said [i']conclusively[/i] there was no evidence for any harmful environmental effects, but the guy in charge of the agency at the time went ahead and put it on the "ban" list because he'd made a lot of political deals based on this upcoming report, and had promised various people the research would find DDT harmful.

 

As for the oil thing...there's been a growing number of scientists over the last decade who don't believe oil's going to run out (not completely) because they are coming to believe the term "fossil fuels" is a misnomer in the case of oil. More evidence is accumulating that oil is being produced now through the actions of deep-crustal bacteria called "extremeophiles" who die in the too-cold temps and low pressures of the surface. Another point of questioning is this:

 

"Many other bodies in the solar system have the exact same petrochemical signatures as our so-called 'fossil fuels'. Does anyone seriously believe there was ever a thriving dinosaur-and-fern-forests biosphere on Titan, or some of the other moons in the outer solar system?"

 

I'm not saying which way I'm leaning on this (oil) one; even if it's true that oil isn't going to run out completely, I'd dearly love to see some real/b], funded work on alternatives, like worthwhile fuel cells and ways to efficiently store hydrogen for them. In that, at least, I have no doubt the environment would be better off if we stopped mass combustion of 'fossil fuels', regardless of those fuels' true origins.

I don't care about Oil. Hybrids are dirt cheap and use little gasoline. My roommates have one and average 47 miles a gallon. It is only time before 47 miles a gallon goes to 80+ miles a gallon or gone altogether. I'm not sure what percentage of oil usage that is, but it has to be pretty significant.

What did you think of Kubrick's The Shining vs. Stephen King's The Shining?

 

I thought going mad with an axe was a tad scarier than going mad with croquet mallet.

Axe = Cliche
