It's been a ride.

 

[rockaction]

Aw man. Was looking for a “see ya tamorrow” or something.

lol

 

[Leroy Hoard]

Have you figured out how many that is per day?

 

[IvanKaramazov]

90,000 is particularly impressive when you consider that some of those were book-length posts that veer off into eschatology. You'd have cracked seven digits by now if you broke some of those up into smaller units. But I applaud your commitment to not rigging the metric.

Scared. It's been about a decade of volume.

DECADE OF VOLUME

It's nothing noble or upstanding; I just don't want to approach tim. What becomes a semi-hundred thousandaire in the void that is the posting world? Should I wear a tuxedo jacket the day I get there (if I do)? Should I walk away at 99,999?

I'm trying to figure it all out in advance, see, and I hope this thread helps in the process.

100,000 is going to be in the middle of a fight with Philly fans in the Shark Pool. I'm calling it now. Somebody will take umbrage with a dead guy lying in the stands at The Linc and we'll be met with a defensive chorus about how Philly isn't so bad while guys dressed in Grim Reaper outfits run around the field wielding scythes.

Thanks, SWC'er. I have made my one and only true deposit. FDIC limit upcoming.

 

[SWC]

i hope that doesnt imply you would stop posting we need you around here brohan the that to the bank

No, I wouldn't. I don't think I could ever set an arbitrary cut-off to posting and friendships that were made while doing so. Seems unseemly. And thank you for the kind words and they are returned. We've both seen each other make pretty major changes in our lives that are similar ones, and I think that gives us a different perspective on our younger adult selves than we might otherwise have. Glad to have met you, SWC. I know I'm better for it.

Probably the best Aesop Rock tune.

 

[Dr_Zaius]

Sounds like a compiler to me. Did he ever make people's list of Top 3 posters of the year. Not sure if you get HOF just for longevity.

JK rock - I always enjoy your stuff. Onward to 6 digits!

 

[Desert_Power]

Seems low. Does this count posts/threads that you've deleted?

 

[TheAristocrat]

I'm still angry at FDAS for sniping my Tim 100k prediction

 

[JAA]

lol ... Im a 3-digiter and have less than 20k.

FDIc limit is 250,000. Chop, chop!

DECADE OF "LIVING CURFEW" FT billy woods

woods is breathtaking in the second half of this song and just owns this until it's not even an Aesop song anymore. That's something else.

So maybe the best Aesop tune is still off Skelethon. Cycles to Gehenna. ZZZ Top. Gopher Guts. Crows Part 1

I thought this was going to be about the cumulative home attendance for the White Sox this year.

This is funny. I laughed. Have a great day.

And @rockaction - you've got 90000 problems but a post ain't one

There's a sell out joke to made somewhere in there . . .

In a fit of irony, I'm getting my post fixed in my broken tooth today at three P.M.

Saving the tooth with a crown. Lucky. Otherwise I was going to be missing another.

What's this story now?

What's this story now?

Tim was at like 82k posts in 2016 and there was some thread about when he'd hit 100k. Mostly just a joke thread about Tim posting too much. I took it too seriously and figured his average posts per day, increased those numbers around two conventions, elevated them before the election, had a couple other factors that would increase his total count and came up with a day about a year out. FDAS replied maybe 15 minutes later with the day before my prediction.

Tim passed 100k posts on the day before my guess.

 

[Van Dyman]

At my current rate, if my math is correct, I should hit 90,000 posts sometime around May 25th 2129

Rock might have to remind me to start a thread about it, though.

 

[El Floppo]

91,106, slackers.

Oh! Make that 91,107!

eta* I thought you were tweaking me. I was amused. Turns out you've got a spoiler hiding your eta at 90,000. Dude, I hate to break it to you, but I'ma gonna be gone by then. I'll remind you in Purgatory.

91,107!

I used to do these when I hit post milestones back in the heady post-padding days of the mid-aughts. At least some of yours have been insightful ones
