The street begins with the local bully, Jimbo Jones. Good thing he’s never posted. #13305 is Jeff Turner; his one post was a thread-starter in CoCC on eating monkey brains. I think he was scared off by **Arnold Winkelried’s** thumping of his posting etiquette. Then me, in #13306, a nice spacious house with a lovely garden and a hottub; .91 posts per day. #13307 is Paksennarion8, with only 15 posts but the most recent was 5/2/03. Glancing at the “interests” section, I guess s/he is busy building a time machine to conquer medieval Europe. #13308 is Iceman4714, only posted once and may have been intimidated by our ability to communicate using punctuation and capitalization. I feel very lonely. ☹ ---

Registered on 3/12/2002, the day after my birthday. 🙂 My neighbor in front of me, **mcribbit** , #19960, has only 3 posts, the last of which was on the Intergration Problem, shortly after signing up. He lives in Scotland. :::waves::: My neighbor behind me, #19961, **aahala** , is much more prolific at 521 posts (1.23 per day) and last seen yesterday on a thread about shy natural gas switches cost so much. Way cool dude! So, all in all, I’m a happy newbie with quiet surroundings on one side and helpful folks on the other. Not bad at all. However, I do hope to enliven my own status for both **mcribbit** and **aahala** ’s benefit. Don’t want them ashamed of me and my pitiful track record. Hang in there guys, I’m trying to catch up to my year plus membership. :::running laps frantically::: ---

My number (11149) brings up 37,000+ hits on Google, mostly crap from the first few pages I looked at. SDMB block neighbors: **Death\_\_Mage** : 0 posts (0.00 ppd) **JCThunder** : 158 posts (0.18 ppd); last posted Nov. '02 **Lady Magdelane** : 37 posts (.04 ppd); last posted July '02 **kiwiboy** : 125 posts (0.14 ppd); last posted March '03 **Boomfly** : 41 posts (0.05 ppd); last posted Jan.

'01 **Danimal** : 866 posts (0.97 posts); last posted April '03 I know I recognize **Danimal’s** name, but the rest haven’t appeared here much (though **kiwiboy** is in triple digits). I wonder who has the most BANNED neighbors on their block? ---

Let’s see. Apparently I’m number 421. My neighbor in ‘lucky number’ 420 is **kjb** , who never made a post. On the other side in 422 I have **Dodger** , who has also never posted. Others on the block: **Dalcorn** , who made the last of his 35 posts in December 1999. **ravenous** , last seen posting May '00. And a bunch of people who only made either one post or none at all. My Og, I realized I’m living in the house from Fight Club. I could get drunk and blast golf balls all over the block. Who’s with me? ---

Hi, **Lurkmeister**! I’m flattered you recognize my name. I recognized yours right off. The rest of my neighbors don’t seem too exciting: **Marguerite** –never posted **hugh smith** –never posted **Maloney** –last seen 7/14/2002 with 15 posts to his name **boudicca13** –last seen 4/24/2002. The website mentioned in her profile says she’s been getting a history degree, so I guess she’s been busy. Hi, **Lurkmeister**! Me **greatone** –never posted **W Panic Snopes** last heard from 9/11/2002 with 114 posts **LilRayOSunshine** gave us 2 posts and disappeared **Bugle** also gave us 2 posts, never to be heard from again. And **christyruebel** made 2 posts and was BANNED. ---

Well, of my immediate neighbors, **Bucky** and I seem to be the only two who’ve lived here into 2003, and even he seems to have moved out now. Hmmm. Is someone trying to tell me something? 😉 My now husband, **Spiny Norman** , moved in just a couple blocks away (in the 3300 block) just 12 days before me. Cool. 🆒 ```auto House # Doper No. of Posts Last Posted 3530 mcdaniel 0 Never 3531 Bucky 522 3/31/03 3532 jdl 153 10/04/02 3533 Qzhicotecmah 2 Never (interesting) 3534 Toft 1 12/08/99 **3535 Shayna 2571 05/08/03** 3536 Cyan 21 03/15/00 3537 Wolf of Were 57 12/08/00 3538 ThisYearsGirl 1384 04/26/02 3539 M.

I walked up and down the street and banged on a few doors. If no one answered, I looked in the windows. Here’s who I found: **Booker99** : One post. **Danjak** : Seven posts. **Dragon Shadow** : 124 posts. Yeah, I’ve seen you around the 'hood. **linearquadratic** : Never posted. Waste of a cool handle. **Shampoop** : BANNED after 10 posts. The lawn is grown over with weeds and some of the windows are broken out. My place. Hmmm, the trim could use painting. **skittles** : 166 posts. I’ve seen **skittles** out and about, too. **bradw** : One post. **nortonj** : Never posted. **Doug77** : Never posted. **Shadez** : 176 posts. You look familiar.

Not that I post often (I’m more of a lurker I guess), but I seem to be the sole survivor of my two neighbors who both signed up on the same day that I did. **Fleck** has a total of 4 posts, all made on the same day and **nifu** only has one post.
