Does the counter count by two's?  I had 21, posted the one below and then all of a sudden I'm at 24 - not complaining you understand, just wondering.

We're going to stall on 99,998 aren't we ?
No-one's going to want to pop up the 99,999th and leave the door open. ;)

Wait :-\.....Leon will would certainly post no. 99,999..he won't mind....Which means a greater likelihood of the actual time being late evening/early morning. :-\ :-\ :-\ :-\
(Just thinking out loud ! :P  ;))

Gentlemen!

As Brothers of Pendraken, I think it behooves us to just continue to post as naturally as we are able to. Surely each one of us would rejoice in the good fortune of the other who secures this not inconsiderable prize. Surely we (the sultanas in the Pendraken Christmas pudding) would not stoop to gamesmanship in order to win? Just as I believe that the Top Totty section is purely for the purposes of comparative anatomy in an area little modelled in 10mm, and that despite Mr Kitty's admonitions we would not support any kind of humour derived from overt decrying of specific creeds (though I still vote that the French are fair game), I think that we (the plastic rings in the Pendraken carckers) would turn our faces from tactics such as posting 99,997, 99,998, 99,999 and 100,000 in order to secure the prze as being below the standards expected of a Pendraken Forum member in good standing.

So would constantly refreshing the screen whilst watching the counter, posting to cadets so that their replies pad out the numbers and creating a contentious thread in order to get a spurt of replies just before your estimated time. 

May I also enjoin the 100,000th postee to make it something a little more memorable than "Yippee. I'm the 100,000th! LOL." 

Finally, the victory would be all the sweeter if mayhap it could involve some kind of formal presentation with photographs and a tour around the Dark Caverns of Middles-Borough? Perhaps the lucky winner could be receive their boon from the skeletal hand of the Dark Lord himself?

I make no pretence to speaking any Mesoamerican lingo. Indeed, I'm losing hope of ever commanding one of their armies, at that.  Anyway, hope you all enjoy 5th December, which is our King's birthday and a time of some partying over here.

I have to say that I find your metaphors both insane and brilliant.  Many times I've sat in front of the computer and attempted to devise some of my own, but they always pale into insignificance.

Why the sale of centurions would go through the roof!

People would buy they just to shut him up  ;D ;D ;D

Ooo No. FSN keeps the Centurions. FSN likes the Centurions. Pendraken not send Centurions anywhere else. FSN wants all the pretty shiny Centurions. Wants them all. Wants them all to keep and to count and to line them up in all their prettiness ....

Time for one of the marmalade pills that smells of unachieved desires and tastes of of an LS Lowry painting.

Good night everyone, good night.

Not heard that one before....But heard that it's a daft idea to drink/suck beer, etc through a straw...Never tried it....Don't know if there's any truth in it either.

We used to get loads of people coming up to the bar asking for straws because it 'gets you drunk quicker' but as far as I know it makes no difference whatsoever, aside from any possible placebo affect maybe?

I have seen it done. Apparently, by using a tea spoon you take in large quantities of air with the beer, which gets the alcohol into the bloodstream that much quicker.  Of course, it also depends on what type of beer you're drinking too. The guy who did it was pretty wrecked afterwards and he was someone who could hold his beer.
