How to boost your post count

**Paul Warren** · Apr 9th, 2001, 05:44 AM

For all newbies/the naive. Here's how you can boost your post count and really impress your friends :

1. Find a ligit post which you vaguely know something about.

2. Post a reply which is almost completely unrelated to the question but which someone might find interesting

3. Go to 2 until another likely post presents itself

I'm not having a pop at anyone here. I just find it pretty funny where threads end up sometimes, having begun as a reasonable technical discussion and ended discussing the virtues of lager vs alcho-pops. I'm sure some of you ( you know who you are ) do this deliberately to get that count going.

**Paul Warren** · Apr 9th, 2001, 05:53 AM

Yeah ? Weather's miserable here though.

Why is elephant black ?

**Paul Warren** · Apr 9th, 2001, 07:02 AM

Black holes did you say ? Now there's a subject and a half ... Oh, missus.

**chrismitchell** · Apr 9th, 2001, 07:05 AM

I admit to having done that in the beginning (mainly to get more than 0 posts).. Though I have now found that I actually know answers to some of the questions asked.... So I now have 100 posts

...

Half and Half? I like to use flavored creamer in my coffee!

Did you know that a sneeze leaves your mouth at 200 MPH?!!!

**Bonker Gudd** · Apr 9th, 2001, 07:15 AM

Hmmm, I used to actually, but some people seem to find it offensive

I might try again on Saturday.

**chrismitchell** · Apr 9th, 2001, 07:19 AM

Did you know that Tomato Ketchup leaves the bottle at 35 miles per year! (approx)

**Paul Warren** · Apr 9th, 2001, 07:21 AM

He's 17, she's 49. Disgusting.

**Active** · Apr 9th, 2001, 07:22 AM

Can anyone give code examples to show
that your sweaty socks smells bad more than
a rotten egg ? or is it the other way round.

Plese help me...I have to submit the project tomorrow !

The Plums sir, the Plums.

**Paul Warren** · Apr 9th, 2001, 07:31 AM

denniswrenn · Apr 9th, 2001, 07:52 AM

The parrot ate the plums, but it choked on the peach pit inside, and died...

This Parrot Sir is an Ex-Parrot!! It is a deseased parrot!

**Paul Warren** · Apr 9th, 2001, 08:00 AM

No it's not, it's just sleeping.

denniswrenn · Apr 9th, 2001, 08:00 AM

Wow, I did not know parrots can sleep without breathing.

**Paul Warren** · Apr 9th, 2001, 08:16 AM

The Norwegian Blue prefers kippin' on it's back. Beautiful bird. Lovely plumage.

Mmmm, Are your freinds impressed by a high post count???

It could just be an indication that you've asked lots of question??

**Paul Warren** · Apr 9th, 2001, 09:13 AM

Chill. It wasn't meant to be anything heavy

I just find it quite funny where some of these threads end up from a perfectly reasonable technical discussion. Hell, chrismitchell admitted to it and I KNOW I've done it once or twice.

**SurfDemon** · Apr 9th, 2001, 10:41 AM

Don't worry, I was just having a laugh.

I know how you feel though, but I do it myself, there are just times when the conversation meanders.

Like when your talking to your mates about cars and suddenly the topic wanders over to the breast size of the cutie who's just walked into the bar....

okay, maybe that wasn't such a good analogy....

its been NAILED to the perch!

What Kind of cheese do you have?

**Paul Warren** · Apr 9th, 2001, 10:46 AM

... of course it was nailed there. Otherwise it would 'ave muscled up to those bars and voom ...

Sorry, you've lost me with the cheese thing.

**Bonker Gudd** · Apr 9th, 2001, 10:47 AM

Spiced with a pleasent blend of herbs, I like it first thing in the morning.

**Static** · Apr 9th, 2001, 11:06 AM

Paul...the CHeese Shop!! Excellent bit!

go here: http://www.montypython.net/sketchsounds2.php

part way down....

**Paul Warren** · Apr 9th, 2001, 11:16 AM

Thanks geoff_xrx. I'll be quite some time. Oh, and have you notice the combination of Bonker's name and his Avatar. Like something off a carry on movie ( hope I haven't just insulted him ).

right, back to reading that Python stuff ...

cheers again geoff_xrx ( that's an unusual first name by the way ).

**Static** · Apr 9th, 2001, 11:30 AM

What...Geoff is an Unusual first name?

How so!???

Geoff is the ORIGINAL spelling of Jeff (European). Jeff was later adapted as a short version. I think people with the Name Jeff have the Unusual spelling!

**Paul Warren** · Apr 9th, 2001, 11:37 AM

Never mind. My attempt at humour fell flat on it's face

. I meant "Geoff_xrx", that's an unusual name isn't it ? As in, it's all one name. It was a pretty crap attempt caused by getting carried away with the general Monty theme. That's why work in the I.T. industry and am not a comidian.

Well, that just proves that it's time for me to go home. Have a good night and I may see you tomorrow.

**Static** · Apr 9th, 2001, 11:43 AM

No, that's pretty well the way it is. Generally then some lamer will say "I wouldn't kick her out of bed".

Now there used to be an easy way to increase your post count, but......Kedaman ruined it for everyone

Paul, what was your thread in my post then ?

b*llocks, caught in the act. I shall now retire as the Post Police and leave it to those with stronger moral fibre than I possess.

Good night/morning/lunch/afternoon to you

**kedaman** · Apr 11th, 2001, 07:02 AM

what's me gotta do with anything?

**Paul Warren** · Apr 11th, 2001, 07:03 AM

Marshmallows ?

**alex_read** · Apr 11th, 2001, 07:04 AM

Is it FEED ME that kids saying in your pic?

I haven't seen the film thing it was from, & I read your other post about it, still haven't worked out what it's saying, have a couple of thoughts, but slightly, erm rude .

WHAT IS IT ?!?!?

**alex_read** · Apr 11th, 2001, 07:06 AM

with some onions thrown in, delicious !

**Paul Warren** · Apr 11th, 2001, 07:11 AM

I'm going for a lie down now in a dark room. The last ten minutes on this and your thread has left me in a state of confusion.

Wibble, wobble later

**kedaman** · Apr 11th, 2001, 07:12 AM

i don't think so, the sequences were cut 2 or 3 times so there might be no sense what she's trying to say, but i think it's the end of "who i really am"

**alex_read** · Apr 11th, 2001, 07:16 AM

right 1st - SHE ?!?!?!

2nd I was on about your avatar Kedaman.
