I HIT 10,000 POSTS!

Now, to clear things up, that includes Games posts. They may not count towards Pilot, but I have hit the Post button 10,000 times. Well, technically more times than that with the time limits attacking and when others have posted right before me, but we won't get into that. LET'S JUST PARTAY!!!!!!!!!

Woohoo! So sorry I wasn't here for the 10,000th post. Congrats! 'Tis truely an awesome feat.

You may have been. I was actually 19 over when I checked... oopsie....

I can't believe you were so negligent.

The boards are slow tonight.

yes, they are. im kinda busy chatting with friends though, which is good

Other friends, huh? ::) Fine.

It's okay, WS. I'm here. We can talk about the difference between "will" and "shall."

(Did you see my proper usage of quotation marks?)

*claps for theG*

Umm . . . I've got a better one--the other day I looked up the difference between continuously and continually. :o Yeah. I wish I could explain it to you, but I didn't really get it myself.

Continual is chiefly restricted to what is intermittent or repeated at intervals: The continual banging of the shutter in the wind gave me a headache. Continuous implies lack of interruption: The horizon is a continuous line.

I sort of "get" it.

Oh, I see. Did you find the site with the guy (really specific, yeah) who writes articles about these things? That one was good.

No.

I got that information from dictionary.com :-\

This guy. He's really cool.

http://www.word-detective.com/

He. Is. Amazing.

My favorite word is "palaver."* No one else seems to love it as much as I do.

my my... im friends with English freaks....

I don't know that word. :( Neither does Google apparently. Please enlighten me.

English and cleaning! You sure you're still my friend, V?

Yea.... you still like Lost, don't you?

I spelled it incorrectly. *I shouldn't be posting on the 'Lage while I'm half-asleep.

Yeaup! You know what, V? I need to make it to Business Class before you move out!

So, what was the word, G?

The word was "palaver." I've gone back to edit my post.

Sure, now you'll just confuse everyone. ;)

I hope I do confuse everyone. I lurve it when that happens.

I'd never heard that word before. I'm not sure if I can even pronounce it.

well, I would go to that thing tomorrow to protest the 2nd anniversary of the war, but id rather post on here and get farther ahead of you... or sleep...

that word sounds like a french verb

Puh-la (Long "a" sound)-vuhr

That's the best I got *:-\

It hasn't been used in centuries, and that's why you haven't heard it.

I never took French.

Get ahead of me in posts that count or total posts?

i dont know..... i should try to catch up to your Games posts

But then you'll be like 2000 ahead of me in total posts.

maybe. you could catch up to me w/ posts that count though

I'm trying, but you have quite a head start on me.

true.... and then that would leave O and G ready to catch up... i kinda like the number one spot, ive made a grove in the cushion

I WAS NUMBER ONE ONCE!

You're number one is spirit, WS.

I know, so was Ophelia. and I really don't mind #2. but the crown was made for me. and I get scared that the grove may swallow you guys, which wouldnt be good

I'm not number one material. I've no problems with being in the top ten.

an ocasional break is nice. though i haven't stepped into controversy much, it could be on the verge... ready to strike... and the posters will need a fair leader other than Karri

I'm surprised I haven't gotten into too much trouble yet. I'm always bossing people around.

I'm surprised too. ::)

One of these days it's going to come back to bite me in the buttocks...

I bet you would jump a mile high!

I bet I'll be able to see your house from all the way up there.

My house is underground...doubt it!

I have X-ray vision. :chris:

It's got a giant magnaetic blanket over it.....

DON'T TELL ME WHAT I CAN'T DO!!!

I bet you can't use TWO exclamation points!!

;)

I bet you can't end a sentence with a preposition even though it sounds preposterous to say "To whom are you speaking?" as opposed to "Who are you speaking to?".

You know what kills me? People who say, "Want to come with?" "Us" is just one more word! Or they can just say, "Want to come?" and say one fewer word!

Everyone in Pennsylvania does that!

It's spreading. 'Tis a real shame.

I agree--I don't get it!

I know so many people who are taking Honors English next year, but they still don't know the correct usage of the words "well" and "good."

My little sister used to know them, because I taught her when she was little. Then she went to school and got all deprogrammed and stuff. :mad:

My mother married a man who had very little knowledge of proper grammar and word usage. She started to speak in the same manner. She even started calling me "girl" instead of my name. That was the only time I really wanted to scoop her eyeballs out, figuratively speaking of course.

I misuse good and well, not because I think it is right, it just sounds better.

Congratulations Varda! :)

Are you the first person to do this?

I misuse good and well, not because I think it is right, it just sounds better.

It doesn't sound better to me. >:(

yea, im #1

it doesnt sound better all the time, but a good amount of the time it just has a better ring

Varda you should put "I'm #1" in your sig :)

Naw, partying is enough. Though since we kind of think that Pilot was at 10,000 you could say me being Pilot of my Paper Airplane is a bit of meaning I am pilot with Games.

I want to know what the thing is for Pilot, if its stars or something different, too bad we couldnt find out with you :(

Yeah, and I can join the party in less than 1000 posts!

Oh and Varda, you can be the Pilot of Air Force One...you know since I'm President and all *:lol2: *The VP is flying the plane!

YEA! I'll be doing my vice-presidential duties, flying the plane, and playing the bagpipes at the same time! it will be amazing! Weseh will always be my right hand man though.

and well, I still could find out, though it will take a while.

Yeah, you're still in line to be the first Pilot, V. That is, as long as there are no more setbacks. ;)

If they decided every post has to be Lost-related I'm totally screwed. I'm just not used to staying on topic. there is always someone else who says what I want to say, and with the site how it is now it doesn't seem joke theories are really welcome.

Yea if the posts were only coutned as lost related I'd be screwed as well. I post in a lot of LOST topics, but the majority is in chit chat/group ships

Yeah, and if you don't watch the episode the night it airs and if you don't read spoilers, there really isn't much to say anyway. I mean, I read lots of stuff, but I never had anything to add if I didn't get there right away, and I hate posting superfluous threads.

Yea people post while the episode is airing....and I don't like that cause I don't have much to add afterwards either

Sometimes Chit Chat stuff is LOST-related *has said this on numerous occasions, but enjoys being superfluous*.

Ms. Bossypants is always superfluous. :P

I would be really screwed if they had everything not count that isn't LOST related. I've only posted twice in the episodes section and many more times in the Charlie section but that's about it! *sigh*

Too bad there wasn't a "Grudge" section, we'd own that

ha! you could make a scary movies thread...

Overall, I'd say I would be screwed but not as screwed as you guys.

Peanut, make a scary movies thread

I don't really care anymore if I'm pilot first, though I guess it really looks that way since I post in Chit Chat now that Games doesn't count. Just, Games has changed. Still fun to go and post in, but still not the same.

Yeah, except for the Help-or-Hurt game, the people that post in games now are different. They really only post in games . . .

*runs to go make a scary movies thread*

yea, there is somebody who has a goal never to increase their post count. which is actually pretty cool.

How do they avoid getting a post count

That.is.insane! By posting in the game section all of the time and lurking the other sections.

Ah okay....that sucks though then they cant post in other sections

well, they could if they want to. they just don't want to

I also feel like we kinda got yelled at for posting in games so much, so I don't like to go there anymore.

hopefully they won't yell too much about Chit Chat...

Well it's here....what are we supposed to do, not post here?

I wouldn't count on it . . . oh, well. I'm not going to be spending much more time here, once my project at work starts for real, so I'm just enjoying it while I'm still here.

I'm just a bit edgy about it.

They can't take my time online away from me! :whistling2:

ha! they can't take away how long I've been here

And it's fun to see how many times I can make it to Business Class. ;)

that is fun...

Are you all feeling edgy about it too?
