The misbegotten waif thread a/k/a The Fray

[Dragonwriter]

So we've done 22 pages in 28 days, so if we want to exceed a 2300 page thread at the current pace it will take until roughly Christmas 2018--give or take a leap year and an inevitable server outage or two. I strongly suggest we round up some more feckless time-wasting post count whores and try to pick up the pace a bit. Poor DeWar is getting pretty old and I've seen better days myself. Some of us might not make it to 2018. Leif will only make it that long if he gives up driving. I guess we could always rename it the DeWar Memorial thread...

Okay, I just have this mental image of you guys pushing along walkers with WiFi-enabled laptops on the center of them, shouting at the screen, "Gaw-Dammit! Load, you piece of junk! Why, back in my day, I remember when this blasted site ran twenty times faster! You stinkin' kids then went and messed with all that techno-crap-ology and changed things around, and now it doesn't work! And get off my lawn!"

Or better yet, all of you can come up here to, what did Leif call it? Oh yeah Canuckistan, and play hang out with my wife and I. I'm sure she wouldn't mind a bunch of strangers dropping by.

Hmmm, Canuckastani women are much more tolerant than American women. My wife requires at least three days notice and 8 hours of house cleaning from me to have gamers over.

Yeah, that's pretty accurate. Well, maybe not yet, but definately in my future. Getting old doesn't scare me, I figure there will be plenty of time for gaming at the old folks home. And thanks to the memory loss associated with old age, we'll only need one adventure.

Hey glad to see this thread moving along at a decent pace again. It really slowed down over the Labor Day weekend.

This goblin, is goblin, a goblin, good goblin, way goblin, to goblin, keep goblin, an goblin, ENWorlder goblin, busy goblin, for goblin, 20 goblin, seconds goblin!

Now read without the word goblin.

[sblock]Sorry, haven't had enough coffee to post anything profound this morning, but I didn't want to ignore the quest for a thousand posts. [/sblock]

Reminds me of the old joke:

How do you keep a goblin busy?
[sblock=Answer]Put him in a round room and tell him to beat off in the corner![/sblock]

Yeah, she'd probably love to have an expanded table to game with, it's down to the two of us regularly, and a third dropping in from time to time.

They'll be complaining about those damn social networking things, like statuses, Tag's, Mentions, XP levels, etc.... oh wait too late.

Scotley and I already have our reservations in the nursing home, and dibs on several of the card tables and parchesi pawns to use for orc counters. (We're planning to use our bedpans to roll dice in!)

Do you have a link BlackRat? I would love to waste hours and hours of my life

Oh, sure. Be mindfull young padawan, it takes ages to load a page on a thread that long. http://www.enworld.org/forum/media-lounge-off-topic/161627-hive-realy-dead-long-live-hive-mind.html

wow, I go to work and it has gone two pages later. How is this for a useless post, eh Gandalf?
