There is a competition amongst other people that use the same message board program as we do here at S-B. It started a couple days ago and for Grins & Giggles, I figured we could jump in too. Now there is no prize and I won't get a gold star on my forehead if we join in but I figured - Why Not?


Below are the rules that were put together by the guy who started this competition.

So do we have a chance of winning? Hell no! Some of these sites have more users than we do posts but I think we can be a little respectable

A bit of fun, Longest Thread Competition (post #1)

I was thinking that we would have a bit of fun on out forums, and start a "Longest Thread Competition"

The idea is that you start a thread on your site called "The Longest Thread in History" like I have done here, and then try and make it longer than anyone else’s forums longest thread (if you know what I mean).

The topic of the thread is open to what anyone wants to talk about, for example we have played word games, asked random questions, discussed the weather, and just had a really good time.

I guess that because this is not going to be anything more than a bit of fun, we only need a few rules, but here they are:

1, The longest thread must be a new thread started when you enter the competition.
2, The thread must be named "The Longest Thread in History".
3, once you have started your thread, you must post a link to it here.
4, the competition starts as soon as you post your link.
5, You can talk about whatever you want but dont post short messages only like smilies or "k".
6, the competition ends in one month - 4th March 2002, (so you had better enter quick)

Now I fully admit that I've got a bit of a head start on you guys, but my forum is so small that it would be EASY for you guys to catch up with me, and just think of the appraisal when you over take the guy that started this competition.

Now after all, this is nothing more than a bit of fun, so there will be no prizes other than an announcement on my forum stated that you have won (I personally will not be entering the competition because I’ll be moderating it)

And remember, as they used to say on The Big Breakfast, "Don't phone in, it's just for fun".

On your marks, Get set, GO!!

[JohnR]

That's the idea Bloo

[JohnR]

OK - jokes, that'll burn some ones & zeros...

OK - second oldest joke in the world - 90% of the world has heard it:

What's the last thing to go thru a nugs mind when he hits yer windshield???

[JohnR]

His A$$...

[JohnR]

When was the Projo article? I'd like to check it out...


Maybe you could visit the TWO Ocean going Russian ships over by the Jamestown Bridge....

Just think, two dilipidated & rusty ships, probably built by the same vodka swillin' docks that built the Nuclear powered Kirov class missile cruiser, swaying at anchor just a couple miles from the Naval War College... I wonder how many Lt. Commanders over in Newport have wondered about lobbing a harpoon or two across Jamestown....

Apparently, they are after the searun herring. They get ground up and Flash Frozen and "supposedly" carried to an even bigger ship offshore to get back to Mother Russia... They also have a lot of people tweaked by the noise (they are very loud) and by their less than efficient engines billowing smoke...

[JohnR]

As far as the, err, quality of the jokes in this thread - how about nothing that would make you blush if yer kid overheard it and asked for clarification - if you don't have a kid, pretend....

[JohnR]

Uh oh!!! They're comming!!!

[JohnR]

GIRL POWER!

According to the Alaska Department of Fish and Game,
while both male and female reindeer grow antlers in the
summer each year, male reindeer drop their antlers at the
beginning of winter, usually late November to mid-December.

Female reindeer retain their antlers till after they give birth in the
spring. Therefore, according to every historical rendition depicting
Santa's reindeer, every single one of them, from Rudolph to Blitzen- had to
be a girl.

We should've known. Only women would be able to drag a fat-ass man in
a red velvet suit all around the world in one night and not get lost.

How the heck can I answer that question properly ??

Here are some Rally Pics from Tuesday:

[JohnR]

Uhh, what's wrong with your avatar? I see it just fine...

Is "The Longest String" a suitable replacement for "The Longest Yard"? Probably not, but "The Longest Day" was an incredible movie - whaddya think??

[JohnR]

Don't eat yellow snow...

Hi Jenn

[JohnR]

For all of the people that think we've gone simply bonkers on this thread, I just wanted to repost why we're doing this

There is a competition amongst other people that use the same message board program as we do here at S-B. It started a couple days ago and for Grins & Giggles, I figured we could jump in too. Now there is no prize and I won't get a gold star on my forehead if we join in but I figured - Why Not?

BM is on a cyber vacation at the moment... Let's let him recharge his batts for a while...

Woo Hoo!!! 200 replies (122 from Bloo )

ok Company policy:

Start with a cage containing five monkeys. Inside the cage, hang
a banana on a string and place a set of stairs under it. Before long, a
monkey will go to the stairs and start to climb towards the banana. As soon as
he touches the stairs, spray all of the other monkeys with cold water.

After a while, another monkey makes an attempt with the same
result all the other monkeys are sprayed with cold water. Pretty soon, when
another monkey tries to climb the stairs, the other monkeys will try to prevent
it.

Now, put away the cold water. Remove one monkey from the cage
and replace it with a new one. The new monkey sees the banana and wants to
climb the stairs. To his surprise and horror, all of the other monkeys
attack him.

After another attempt and attack, he knows that if he tries to
climb the stairs, he will be assaulted.

Next, remove another of the original five monkeys and replace it
with a new one. The newcomer goes to the stairs and is attacked. The
previous newcomer takes part in the punishment with enthusiasm!

Likewise, replace a third original monkey with a new one, then a
fourth, then the fifth. Every time the newest monkey takes to the
stairs, he is attacked. Most of the monkeys that are beating him have no idea
why they were not permitted to climb the stairs or why they are
participating in the beating of the newest monkey.

After replacing all the original monkeys, none of the remaining
monkeys have ever been sprayed with cold water. Nevertheless, no monkey ever
again approaches the stairs to try for the banana. Why not? Because as
far as they know that's the way it's always been done around here.

...And that's how company policy begins

[JohnR]

Nahhhh Bloo - yer doing fine & yes I saw a lot of what you posted it's just that it's impacting how much work I can get done at work, ya know? 3 hours of readin means that I only have 6-7 hours a day to do 24 hrs of work



nice hula girl

Yo Chaos, you only have 10 x our members - Good luck but tell any of yer fishermen/women to come over here for the good stuff

[JohnR]

Nope - I wasn't conducting any secret tests for secret sauce Great work Bloo - you should try to put your talents into a magazine. You can be our exclusive toonist until your big break and then whatever maggie gives you millions, you'll still need to share you talents with us... M.O.F. - I'm gonna give you your own gallery if you want it ...

TheBetterHalf, Son#1, and I were down in SW CT for some babysitting and hanging with the relatives. Had a great time other than the all-nighter Liam decided to pull Saturday night. He decided to stay up almost all night so I had a miserable sleep and my wife had nearly none - he of course was fine yesterday ....

So my wife & I are the walking wounded. To top if off, last night I couldn't get to sleep until 2am even though I hit the rack at 9. I wound up getting sick and no sleep and am now hurting ....

Man - did that wind blow strong last night - sounded more than 50mph...

BTW - great work on the longest thread

[JohnR]

Heck no!!! It ain't dead!!! We still have 3 weeks to go!!!

[JohnR]

Hehehe... Good work GB

[JohnR]
