Right now, in MPSIMS, there are 5 threads with 1K plus posts, and 7 in triple digits (2 of which are near 1K)

That’s a spicy meatball!

(shall we check the other forums, too?)

((only for front page threads))

Sorry, but I never had a lemonade stand.

But I know someone who had a stand where, for five cents…

Oh, never mind.

I’m trying to decide - is this your attempt at some sort of thread record, or are you trying to pad your count, **NoClueBoy**?

(and I think you’re next up)

Good morning, **Linus Van Pelt**! Sorry to hear that you did not have a lemonade stand. (Also, I thought I got up early – guess not!)

**Lobsang** , I think you predicted me at 3:15 am. I get up early, but not that early. 🙂

You really think I’m that good at predicting?

I pose science questions, I open debates, I write stories and poems, I opine creatively (yeah, right) in the Pit, I am a rabid Trekker, and which threads of mine turn out to be long, popuplar, never dying? Pirates and this one!

:dubious:

And, I did, too think of you, **Aslan of Narnia**. It was just about 15 pages back. 😛
