For me, it was a rainy day in P.E. in my middle school, so **Yes, I definitely have seen the Thriller video in its entirety**. ---

**I have also seen the “Thriller” video in its entirety.** I almost looked it up again on YouTube after Jacko died, but so far have resisted temptation. ---

\*\*I have never seen the Thriller video in his entirety. \*\* I was never was much into watching music. I always thought music was for the ears rather than the eyes. ---

I guess it wouldn’t do any good to mention that I was 3 months and 10 days old when the album was released… ---

Is this game going to take 45 days to complete? One statement a day \* 15 people times \* 3 statements/person. Please make it go faster. Pretty please. ---

> [@notfrommensa](#): > > Is this game going to take 45 days to complete? One statement a day \* 15 people times \* 3 statements/person. > > Please make it go faster. Pretty please. Yeah, I’d be perfectly fine with 12-hour cycles (8am/8pm) for each new statement. It might mean some people have multiple responses in their posts, but as long as everyone is complying with the **Bold Colors** , it shouldn’t make scoring any more difficult. ---

If we wanted it to go \*really \*fast, what about releasing a whole round’s worth of statements at once? As long as they were numbered, it shouldn’t be too hard for everyone to just answer them all in one post. ---

I’ll echo what the above have said, heh…I though the game was going to go a biiiit faster than this. Like two or three statements per day. 😛 ---

I’m giving it all that I’ve got… but ok, I’ll release two statements every time I release one. But the main reason for running on 24 hour cycles is the simple fact that I usually only have online access in the afternoon (CET), when I sit in my lovely café. And it’s just your fault that you’re not all online in those three hours. 🙂 But ok, here are the TWO next ones… **Mahaloth** says: **Never have I ever attended, in any way, a public school.** And \*\*notfrommensa \*\*says: **Never Have I Ever eaten sushi** **And two grand yeses from me on both (I’ve only attended public schools (the US version of it) and I’ve tried sushi, but didn’t really care for it.** The rest of you, I want seperate answers on both accounts on 😛 eta: The [Wormsheet](http://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=rWo_ffORWHoaA91Q1A2oLtg&single=true&gid=0&output=html), and it’s a complete bitch for me to work through a million posts at once - which is why I won’t give more than two at a time (unless someone bribes me :D) ---

**I have attended public schools** for 16 years in fact. 1-12 and 4 years at a public university. Best as I can recollect I have attended 3 different grammar schools, 2 different Jr highs, and 1 Senior high school, and two different public university. And One private University for my Masters degree. And I have never eaten Sushi, but you all know that by now. So I didn’t colorize it. ---

Is that never-in-either-US-or-UK-senses-of-public? Because by my understanding of the terms, unless you skipped school entirely, you went to one or the other. \*\*Anyways, I’ve been to US public school. And I’ve eaten Sushi.\*\* ---

I was in private school for first and half of second grade, but from there on out though high school **I attended public schools**. If we’d been playing this game two years earlier I’d have denied **notfrommensa** , but not now. **I have eaten sushi**. And pickled ginger. Mmm, pickled ginger… ---
