Yeah, like taking passages out of his book for months and quoting them back to him.

That was actually pretty creative. I have to give him a lot of credit for that.

46 more, Tim.

We Can Do It!!!

Say you take about a minute a post average.  That's fair, right?  Some will be 20 seconds...others like the Bookstore and WW2 posts were likely 15 to 20 minutes per...

100,000 minutes equals around 70 twenty-four hour days of straight typing/posting.

That's not too bad.

That's not so true.  An old friend of mine from college is like Tim.  He was that guy that didn't drink or anything else except on rare occasion (maybe three times) freshman year of college, went on the 6 hours awake 2 hours sleep routine, and read through 500 books outside of the curriculum.  Continued reading most everything I can think of to this day and can draw on the knowledge with great specificity.  Absurdly intelligent and can speak intelligently on a great many things.  I love listening to him talk on end about LOTS of things for hours.  Just not all the time and not about any and everything.  He's kind of a bust in life due to how well and deeply he thinks about things but how he also tries to put a wall of words up on absolutely absurd reasoning without batting an eye.  I accept the both and have to to be his friend.

Not saying we all need a Tim in our life but there's a ton of other Tims that we do like out there and those Tims represent how different we in this short time on Earth attempt to communicate with others.

He's our Tim.

sounds tedious

One of my favorites. 

But you couldn't be more wrong, dude. I am at every event my daughters are part of. They're both involved in a lot of dance and musical theater. I don't miss a thing. And we do stuff together every chance we get.

the time thread is really good IMO FWIW. Learned a lot about stuff in there.

I'm a pretty successful guy Walking Boot. I don't brag about it, but let's just say I do all right. 

Thanks Dad!

You've been here about a third as long as I have right? You're catching up.

Sure but half my posts are in response to you. Heck like I said FBGs owes you something for all the traffic.Hope you're not feeling bad about this, you shouldn't be concerned, not a mark of shame at all, you're a writer so you write.

 

[Uruk-Hai]

Didn't Zippy hit 100k in like 3 days? He'd just post emojis, but his post count was super important to him

 

[AAABatteries]

Not to tell you what to do but you should get to 99,999 and then save your 100k post for election night when Hillary wins.  Seeing you can't go back in time and let her pop your cherry this seems only fair.

[squistion]

Oh, oh...I think the powers that be are making a recount. Either that or some posts have been deleted.

I swear that Timmy was less than 20 away a few hours ago, but now he is back to 38 to go for the big 100K.

But, anyway, it looks like he will cross the finish line tomorrow for sure, kids, barring a posting frenzy in remaining hours today..

 

[fantasycurse42]

Tim, really slowing the pace. What gives buddy?

 

[cstu]

Holy ####. This is happening today, isn't it?

I'm blessed to be able to tell my grandchildren that I was there for the two great events of the early 21st century - Obama's election and Tim hitting 100k. 

 

[John Bender]

This is gonna be ####### awesome. 

Love that he's sandbagging it a bit too.  Well played tim

 

[Encumbrance]

He got suspended again somehow, didn't he?

He's likely writing a novel to post for #100,000.

 

[John Bender]

It's happening.

I have it on good authority there will be a deadspin article about it next week. 

 

[IvanKaramazov]

This is like if Neil Armstrong had personally knocked down the Berlin Wall.  

 

[SaintsInDome2006]

If this was Rod Carew going for his 3000th we can expect a prototypical seeing eye single between SS & 3rd into left field with little fanfare.

 

[Sinn Fein]

Assuming he breaks through today:

100,000 posts, 3225 days - 31 posts per day for nearly 9 years

 

[timschochet]

This is like if Neil Armstrong had personally knocked down the Berlin Wall.  

Yeah I can see my future- signing autographs in some Las Vegas hotel, just like Pete Rose.

 

[Thorn]

@timschochet you could always delete a few old posts and string this along 

 

[Sinn Fein]

You figure 16 waking hours per day, and that is nearly 2 posts every hour he has been awake.

That, my friends, is a dedication unrivaled anywhere in the world.

Rod, like myself, is a good Jewish boy. And I am a Halos fan so thanks for the reference. 

 

[AAABatteries]

13 to go!

Would be great schtick if Memphis modified the board code so every time Tim posts it would delete his oldest post so he sits on 99,999 for a while.

Can my guy at deadspin email you some questions or send them through me? 

 

[AAABatteries]

Can my guy at deadspin email you some questions or send them through me? 

First off, how are you?

 

[Yankee23Fan]

I would start a new thread at 99,999 and then just keep posting in the first post and edit same for awhile just to drive everyone crazy.

 

[Sinn Fein]

Although, if you want to go down as one of the absolute greatest of all time - you hit 99,999 - and walk away.

 

[timschochet]

First off, how are you?

Things are good. I started with a personal trainer last week. Need to lose a lot of weight and get in shape.

Might I suggest less computer time?

Most of his posts are via phone iirc.

If Bernie refuses to walk away why should I? 

 

[Yankee23Fan]

If Bwrnie refuses to walk away why should I? 

Why you have to bring politics into it?

Why not?

99,999 and then...
