**NoClueBoy** , on the last page you asked why this post (and others) was so popular. I suggest that perhaps these people could help answer that question. These are the top posters to this post:

User ---- Posts  
NoClueBoy — 454  
EddyTeddyFreddy — 426  
AbbySthrnAccent — 314  
Angua — 307  
Flamsterette\_X — 197  
lel — 180  
Happy Lendervedder — 146  
sperfur — 119  
fizzygoodmakefeelnice — 118  
Idle Thoughts — 93  
Super Gnat — 68  
BigDaiv — 68  
Lobsang — 66  
gum — 56  
green\_bladder — 51

If you sum those posts and subtract that number from the over 3000 now involved, I suspect the answer is in there somewhere.

Oh, BTW, I predict **fizzygoodmakefeelnice**

I refuse to discuss what the heck I’m doing here. In fact, I invoke my Fifth Amendment rights.

Even when faced with **Glowing Dragon Flame** ™ and even though a staggering 23 percent of my post total has been frittered away in here. No, I’ll never confess!

Not even when faced with the next poster:

A hefferlump sat

By the critical cat

And started to whine and to cry.

"I had a keen plan

For getting some flan

Then I found out it’s just custard pie."

The cat said, "You freak.

"I’ve heard this all week

I wish you would just let it die."

"I did not know

I annoyed you so,"

The hefferlump said with a sigh.

"If I wasn’t your friend

"You’d have no more limbs

“Now shut up or I’ll stab out your eye!”

I want **Quasimodem**!

But I’ll settle for **Angua**.

No, wait – let me rephrase that. I would be delighted to see **Angua** putter in, mug of coffee in hand.

Well, since I don’t have Fifth Amendment rights… I guess I’ll have to just shut my mouth and refuse to say anything about what **I** ’m doing in here.

At 11:58 AM, I was helping with the toddlers in Sunday School. Little Ian was good today in that he didn’t continually cry for him mom when she went to the nursery to take care of his baby brother Sean. 🙂

I’ve determined that about 4.3% of my total posts have been to this thread.

I’ll also have to buy a new calculator tomorrow… I’m tired of forgetting my pencil case on Saturdays.

Of course, I meant “ **his** mom” in the previous post.

And since I forgot to make a prediction in my previous post, I shall do so now: **Wintermute**
