If he writes as slowly as he reads, we'll be waiting at least another 2000 days for the first chapter.

MM said biography, not autobiography..

I love that days counter thing! How sad is that?

I have just learnt that I have been alive for just over a billion seconds Happy billionth birthsecond to me, happy billionth birthsecond to me, happy billionth.......

<ali resists the urge to click the days counter link>

As usual with most momentous things on the Watch...I missed it. Happy 2000 days to all of us, anyhow.

MM, *excellent* post. The only thing I would add would be the Legend of the Long-Ago Time on EZBoard, which no one will willingly speak of (because no one wants it back). But thanks again to Vain for rescuing us from that dark (wait! we must pause now for a pop-up ad!), dark (damn! ANOTHER pop-up ad!) time.

Thus speaks Member #5, Aliantha......

Well, I'm #5 *here* because I couldn't WAIT to flee from EZ Board. I'm much lower on the food chain in the overall Kevinswatch history.

But still, you're welcome.

Happy 2007 days to the Watch!
Haven't been around in a while - I really like MM's post - kind of a 'WHGB' concerning KevinsWatch - that's awesome!
Earthy

Nice to see you around Earthblood. Visit more the Hangar more often too.

[Edit: Hey, re-reading MM's post made me notice he forgot the Terry Brooks Hack Team... ]

Actually the Watch was created in December of '69, a couple of hours after danlo woke up from a drug-induced coma in the empty field where Woodstock had happened a mere three months earlier. His first thought was, 'Man, Jimi ROCKS!". Then, the dream came back to him. See, during danlo's drug-induced coma (did I mention his coma was drug-induced?), he drempt of the illustrative characters we have come to know and grudgingly accept as High Lord Jay, Alynna, Vain, Sevothtarte and the like. And of a special place where they all lived; a place filled with all sorts of cool people dedicated to truth, justice, and repelling the evil forces of the Terry Brooks Hack Team. Oh, and he drempt of the THOOLAH idiots, too. That's what you get for dropping acid, danlo.

Anyway, back to my riveting story. Lying in the field next to him was a young Bill Gates, and when he awoke, danlo described his dream to him. Intrigued, Bill agreed to create and market small, 'Personal Computors' for people to own and use, so that danlo would have a venue to house his concept of a 'Kevin's Watch', and get filthy rich.

Albert Gore happened to be wandering nearby when he overheard this fascinating discourse, and agreed to help danlo and Bill by inventing an 'Internet' by which danlo could share his wonderful ideas with the rest of the world (and help Bill get richer).

Together, they decided to contact a professional writer to write several books that would be the basis of the whole 'Kevin's Watch' concept; the writer they chose is known to us all as the inmitible Stephen R. Donaldson (Stephen King, their first choice, threw them out of his house, shouting "O, Discordia!"). The reason the Watch appears to be only 2000 days old is because A) these ideas take time to complete, and B) danlo crashed his VW bus into the arch of time, bending it somewhat.

And thus, so born was the Watch.

I think the watch is really only 20 days old, but Jay makes it appear is if it's 2000 days old. To trick people into believing in forum evolution.

I find your scoffery and lack of faith....disturbing. Jay is NOT the author of confusion. The Watch was created, not evolved. I fear your immortal soul is in danger of immolation in the flames of heck.

For those of you heathen scoffers, those of you doubters that say to your pathetic little selves "Cute story, but I don't believe that 1969 stuff", click on this link and see for yourself. If you don't see it at first, focus thine unbelieving eyes on the "Number of threads per month" and "Number of posts per month" parts.


Look, and be humbled.

Then repent!

I am legitimately in the Top 20 of Fastest Posters on the Watch??? Without resorting to Mallorys or the 'tank (much)?

the end of the watch coincides with the end of the Mayan Great year, sometime in 2012.

Yes, but EmotionalLeper has eclipsed everyone by far. He makes even sgt.null seem sloooowwwwww.....

dAN...

Congrats, Menolly! But we all know the "fastest users" stats are a little misleading.

Av, I did say I might forget some things...and anyway, I was describing the Turkish Hack team, which was far more sinister.

Oh Crap ! We were supposed to MAKE money with this?

Great posts dAN.

Oh I know, MM. The dreaded Terry Brooks Hack Team does have its own place in the Chornicles though I think. If only for the time and effort that went into it.

Cool thread!
