**sperfur** , when did you start counting? The home page of MPSIMS indicates almost 800 posts in this thread. I can’t possibly be in the lead for the whole thing, no matter how much I yammer. I bet **NoClueBoy** must have that honor(???). **Angua** , what’s your attitude toward cats? E-T-F would like to know before inviting you over for milk and kibbles. ---

Yup. You did. And this will be the last post from me tonight, I’m afraid. I’ve been in this office for nigh upon 13 hours, and quite frankly, I’m starving, so its off home for me to cook some risotto… Byee! **Idle Thoughts** next… ---

That was the list of correct guesses, not total number of posts. I started from the very beginning. And if I’d made the guess I’d planned to (but forgot) in my last post, I would now have one correct guess under my belt. ☹ So I’ll make the guess I was going to last time - **EddyTeddyFreddy**. ---

(Gasping from the effort of getting there in time to give **sperfur** a correct guess) Oh, sorry, my error. What, you mean I’ve guessed right the most? How the heck did THAT happen? Geeeeeezzzz… Maybe I’ve been using up all my luck in this thread? Maybe that would explain why, in real life… :eek: Anyway, **sperfur** , have you had time to reply to me yet? (Tapping foot while waiting to post again) Waiting… Waiting… ACK! Can’t wait any longer! Look out, **sperfur** , here I come! ---

Whenever I have a cold and I touch something that someone else will have to touch (a letter or folder or whatever), a line from Stephen King’s The Stand always runs through my head: ‘…left her a dollar bill crawling with death.’ Ah-ah-ah-CHOO!!! _out of **sperfur’s** nose pops **lel** , wearing a full body progonsticator condom_ ---
