[Nelson] Ha Ha! [/Nelson]

We might do better predicting who won’t be the next poster!

I will go for averages and predict **handy**.

Ta-daaaaaa!!! I’ve just wandered in from the Pit, where various sacred cows are still barbecuing.

In honor of the mood over there, I pick…

**Polycarp**!

Huh? Why **Polycarp**? Because someone has to emerge from the muckfest with honor. And besides, someone who has over 10,000 posts is likely to appear _anywhere_.

Did that make any sense? I didn’t think so. Oh, well.

Missed me by a lot, **Horseflesh**. At the time you posted, I wasn’t even on the boards. I think I was trying to get on the Internet using the downstairs computer.

All too easy…if **slainte** is the kind of sexy woman I think **slainte** is, then she will post within 3 posts.

Well, **slainte** has to post next in order for your prediction to be right, **Max**.

Personally, my money’s on either **MeanOldLady** , asking where the heck **jackalope** is, or **Meros** , hanging out on the SDMB for some late night goofing-off time. (He’s had a pretty eventful time of it recently.)
