Technology doesn't work that way - SamuelA's Pit Thread

I beg your pardon, since I must amend a clarifying statement to an earlier post . . .

[sub]bolding is what I originally meant to add. . .[/sub]

Well, craps does have the “Don’t Come” line, which is essentially a bet that the Player will crap out, and the House will win. I don’t know how anyone wins if he becomes a mod, but hey, it’s your bet.

You can place a wager on 8/14 to win a bag of Cheetos, but you had better put odds behind that line. I like scotch.

Tripler
Is there a term for “mass mutiny on a message board?”

Hmmm…I like 89% odds.
Do you like Baby Duck? (a more recent Canadian version of the older US Cold Duck)

What’s the over/under?

Thanks for getting those links. I don’t think they quite cross the line into giving instructions on how to break the law. “Fly to Kiev, there’s a brothel there, somewhere,” is a bit too abstract to really serve as blueprint for anyone looking to do crimes, much the same way that an earlier poster joking about “visiting your dispensary” to find weed isn’t being moderated.

Fair enough, no argument from me.

I can’t say I’ve ever had duck in the US. I had some smoked duck in Korea though, and it was delicious.

No over/under. If a banning happens on a date hat isn’t chosen, then the winner closest (by simple math—not by nanobot or A.I. calculation, nor binomial statistical spread or chi-squared regression). Just pick a day, and whomever is closest gets a nuclear-originatin’ bag of nacho-flavored noshables.

Tripler
Keeping it simple here, folks. No cable-cars to the Moon.

Not too sure if that works:

Day 1: Tripler’s guess
Day 2: SamA banned
Day 3: JohnT’s guess

Who wins? You or me?

(Imho, you should win the above using time-honored Price Is Right rules (closest without going over).)

Can I say Day 1 and one dollar? Or does that not work?

JohnT, did I get your date wrong? Last I had was:
Tripler (8/18); JohnT (7/29); Oredigger77 (8/13); SunnyDaze (8/10 or 11 dependent on privilege restoration); Guest Starring: Id! (8/14).

SunnyDaze, for clarification, did you mean banning the same day as lifting of the suspension, or the day after?

Here’s my offer; if there’s a tie, then I shall buy two bags of Cheetos!! Each tied winner gets a bag. [sub]Two! Ah ah ahhh![/sub]

SamuelA I know you’re reading this. Your existence on these message boards just got an increase–the termination of your account is now worth two bags of Cheetos. That’s a serious upgrade from the previous valuation of your ‘knowledge’ as an equivalent to “a warm glass of human spit.”[/sub]

Tripler
In the near future, I’ll post pictures to tie the prize to my location: aka “Proof of Snack Life.”

Oh, I wanted to point out something too. Even though he’s been suspended at this present time, SamuelA still has more posts in this thread (248) than the top two other posters combined (wolfpup at 100, and myself at 96).

I fully expect a tirade and flood of activity when his suspension is lifted. That rate of posts would be worth some statistical analysis.

Tripler
Just some food for thought.

I mean he gets banned the first day he can post. I think that means the day suspension lifts?

Proof of prize life is golden. snerk

Don’t you mean “some snack food for thought”?

Proof of Snack Life.

First Prize: Your choice of Cheetos, either Crunchy or Flamin’ Hot Lime.
Second Prize: The other bag.
Third Prize: A hearty handshake and “Honorable Mention.”

JohnT, you chose 7/29 before the suspension. You can change your date, since the suspension kind of limits you to after the 10th or 11th. What’s your guess?

Tripler
This shit just got serious.

Let’s go with August 21st, 27th if the 21st is already claimed.

Got it. The new list (in chronological order) is:

SunnyDaze (8/10 or 11 dependent on privilege restoration);
Oredigger77 (8/13);
Guest Starring: Id! (8/14);
Tripler (8/18);
JohnT (8/21);

Trip

I think he’ll start slow and take a few weeks to ramp up, so I’ll go with Aug 30.

Gotcha, TroutMan.

I guess in one way I’m surprised at how early most of the starting guesses are–there’s probably some statistical significance to guessing so close to the suspension’s end date. Hrm. . .

Tripler
Hell, we could go for months without a winner! May have to plan for a “Round 2.”

I was thinking the same thing… “shoulda picked October 10th”…

Not interested in joining the bet, because I always have lousy luck when it comes to gambling, but just out of curiosity, are these regular-sized bags of cheetos, or snack-sized bags?

This isn’t gambling, because it’s a sure thing. . . it’s just a matter of when.

These are “regular sized” (8.5 oz) bags of Cheetos.

SunnyDaze (8/10 or 11 dependent on privilege restoration);
Oredigger77 (8/13);
Guest Starring: Id! (8/14);
Tripler (8/18);
JohnT (8/21);
TroutMan (8/30).

TWO bags! [sub]Ah ah ahhhhhh![/sub]
