theft? I have a few questions. 1; How do you know you didn't get it?

2: Why do you care?

3: Who got it?

I had a feeling I'd miss it. Spent all day decorating the house for Christmas.

^ What he said. :biggrin:

Yay, 1 million posts!
"People without hope not only don't write novels, but what is more to the point, they don't read them.
They don't take long looks at anything, because they lack the courage.
The way to despair is to refuse to have any kind of experience, and the novel, of course, is a way to have experience."
-Flannery O'Connor

"In spite of much that militates against quietness there are people who still read books. They are the people who keep me going."

I almost deleted one of my own posts to get a clean one-million shot, but hey, that'd just hurt us on our quest for two million.The last historical screenshot in the album (900K) was taken over 3 1/2 years ago. Good work, everyone. I'm not sure who got the magic post but maybe we can come up with two prizes? I know it wasn't me; I went to take a shower when we were 30 short and came back to one over. (Stupid hygiene.)

Anyway, you all rock and I hope to see everyone still here at 2 million.

I only saw me, Sorus and Wayfriend on line; but I could have missed a 4th party if they came in, 'sniped', and got out. Of course, how would the 4th party know when to post if he's not logged in?

I will say that it would be wrong to imply that Sorus or I were the sniper; we were there posting even before WF, and he was there for at least an hour. Anyway, my goal was to help get to 1,000,000,000, and I had fun doing it with Sorus.

Post count is still on pace for a pretty good month though we may not match October.

Fine. If we're one over after we hit two million, I'll delete one then.

Not really something we can put up in lights or anything though. :D

A squandered opportunity, I say. I mean, at least a banana!

I was watching it myself. When I looked, it said 999992. When I looked again, it said 1000001. So I failed as well. I had mistimed it because of some sudden posts by another poster when I had been all alone up until then.

Another alternative is to photoshop the sucker and then tell no one. :twisted:

Do I need to go make 200 posts in Mallory's to block you?

I know. It would be futile for that very reason. I guess I should direct my efforts toward the much more exciting goal of 1.25 million posts.

:yeehaa:

I was thinking I should just go to bed early since WoW is down and I'm being audited tomorrow (work thing, not IRS), but maybe I should put in some quality time here first.
