Are we supposed to be associating off of your first word or the last word in the last comment?
If the former, "bean." If the latter, "marshmallow.";"0

Oh wait. I did.

Jared - I have no intention to supplant Bird's post. This piece of malarky has already garnered 30 comments more than I thought it would.
On the other hand, this one-word stream of blog-consciousness is semi-interesting. Maybe it will, indeed, take over the world. ;-)

I'll just go with the last one:

I can assure you that I have no intention of unseating Bird and will in fact stop comments on this post before I let it take over the top spot. Which I think is impossible anyway - Bird's post currently has 623 comments and is a heck of a lot more insightful and funnier than this one (no offense to those still posting - I just can't believe you find this entertaining)
And it looks like we're back to "beans" again. Bizarre!

Shrode, you may have a point about the recurrent "beans" theme to this thread, which started with the very first word.
But I will be amazed if this thread moves up much higher in the top ten. I can't believe anyone's still commenting on it.
Although I guess I just did :-)
Game on.
174. Shrode
- 08/23/2004 6:20 am CDT
My prediction: the only thing that will stop this thread from reaching #1 will be Bill cutting off comments as he promised to do in comment 153. Think about it, people will click on it because it's in top ten and will be doing so even a year from now. And it's just so easy to just throw in one word. It's irresistable. Plus it gives people an easy way to throw in their two cents, which everyone loves to do. But I don't want to be a party pooper, so as long as I'm here...

(I think it's a signpost that looks like a pointing hand. It's in one of my favourite book titles, An Instance of the Fingerpost by Iain Pears. It's a sort of murder mystery set in 17th century Oxford, I've only read about a quarter of it. one day I'll get round to reading the rest.)

Hey is anyone taking Bill serious in his Comment # 153? I quote:
Shrode
I can assure you that I have no intention of unseating Bird and will in fact stop comments on this post before I let it take over the top spot. Which I think is impossible anyway - Bird's post currently has 623 comments and is a heck of a lot more insightful and funnier than this one (no offense to those still posting - I just can't believe you find this entertaining)
I doubt Bill looks at this post anymore, but within the month, he might have a promise to uphold or break. (Oh yeah, and you have to do some real diggin' to remember what Comment # 153 says. That's a pat to my own back.)

The word is: ore

Wow, Rich, what an amazing memory you have. And great point. I wonder what Jewel is going to do about this?
I await his response (in word and deed) with anticipation.

Y'know, pigwotflies could probably pull a word out that fits both of those, but I'm not that good. I'm playing off "pig" and saying:

What is this heresy?!? Not allow Gatorade to be unseated? Then what have I been doing following this all this time?
I say let it be dethroned. If anything, this conversation amkes more sense. :-)
