I hope you're not planning to foment dissent in the GRRM sub-forum, Springs, while trying to look innocent.



<--- Example of just such an innocent appearance.

Re: Last Post in This Thread Wins!

Not at all, my lesson is well learnt, all I'm saying is I understand how dilligent you are, and I know you're fully up to date with this thread, so maybe you should take the opportunity to ensure all your other threads are equally attended to.

Sometimes called time management. Or prioritisation.

Re: Last Post in This Thread Wins!

But, given it's GRRM, shouldn't you have sent thread bear?

I should have been paying more attention... this thread is racing ahead.

Right, now for the rest of them
Does it help that I've already finished my WIP? Although I am working on another, but its just for fun while my minions do my work for me (proofreading).

Supernatural! (Not season 7 though)

You should try riding in a 1976 Chrysler Dodge Charger RT modified for drag racing, (think Fast and the Furious) and the driver deciding to pull out beside a boy racer and challenge him to a race down a long straight... I think I'm still trying to peel myself off the leather bench seat in the back. Lets just say it took second to get down a street that would normally take a good 5 minutes. - not to mention the fish tailing to a rapid stop.

My uncle restores american classics while doing drag racing and destruction derbys on the side.

Thanks Interference, now I want to go get KFC for lunch... at least you made it easy for me to decide.

Re: Last Post in This Thread Wins!

Oh, this thread just zips along, you have no idea.... So, a man with time on his hands, eh? expect email very soon... I can fill said time (and will do most anything to reduce the numbers occupying this thread).
And I'm feeling pretty good; Timba's no doubt in bun and sticky cake heaven, Ursa's been advised of his duties in other threads, and I'm sure PM has an epic poem to write. As for Inter, who knows....

Re: Last Post in This Thread Wins!

takes a dedicated mind, this thread. Double posting is allowed (we checked) - making up border regulations is, if not encouraged, accepted, bombing the other contestants is rude, puns are prolific, and there can only be one winner. *



*which will be me; the others just play along to keep me from getting complacent.
