Jibber Jabber - Q1 - 29

But it's the 10 hour repeat version!

More like eleven. It spends the first hour loading.

Oh Tina!!! I'm so proud of you, of us.. you know... GOLDEN Q1-29 . Just so excited. You are so deserving.

But, oh..... You won't go away now, will you? I mean, you won and all, but you'll still be here... won't you?

Please stay? Please?

I've taken to bothering her on Facebook... just in case.

Big Big Congrats to Tina!

I will NOT click on that link, Stewart. The song is already in my head.

But it's the 10 hour repeat version!

This is the thread that never ends!
It just goes on and on my friends!
Somebody started posting here not knowing what it was,
And they'll continue posting here forever just because

Wicked, wicked Evil Martin.
Why isn't this thread dead yet?
Chomp. Chomp.
I might have to go get Spider, she'll sort you all out.

Ooh, yikes, not madam hairy legs. She's not allowed out in public as she scares the tourists.

70 years from now, as the contest prepares for its epic 100th anniversary edition, historians shall mine this thread as a living archive of the Torgersen era of the contest.

And when they do, we'll all post about it here on the thread!

This thread is a national treasure
This thread can travel time and space
This thread can bend reality
This thread inspired Scrivener to become sentient

We must keep this thread alive. Magic happens here.

The Thread goes ever on and on
Out from the post where it began
Now far in space the Thread has gone
Let others follow it who can
Let them a quarter new begin
But I at last with sharp clawed feet
Will turn towards the steamy swamp
My evening-meal and chomp to meet...

Hmm. I'm not sure the original went quite like that.

Chuck Norris tried to delete this thread, but the Internet rose up in protest and defaced his Twitter account.

This thread has counted to infinity. Twice.

Hey, subbing Chuck Norris jokes for this thread is pretty fun!!

The universe is big. But not as big as this thread.

It's the most interesting thread in the world.

"Stay crafty, my friends!"

(I don't really have anything clever to say about this thread, I just wanted to join in...)

Clever! (Other than the dreaded smiley...)

Let's be honest here. Most of us are just trying to keep our 'total percentage of posts in this thread' score high.

Hey! Hey! Ya know, some of us are not the LEAST bit obsessed about number of posts, post ratios, what was our 3,000th post...

What was your 3K post?? I was watching your counter waiting and waiting for it and now I see it's already gone by....WHAT WAS IT!! Did it happen while I was in LA?

I think you were a little busy at the time. In LA. On a stage. Something to do with a trophy. A really BIG trophy...

Ohhhhh. I see. *I'd insert a smilie if I used those things*

"Holy CRAP! I walk away and the thread explodes." She smiles as she winds the loose threads on the floor into her tightly wound ball. "I savz 'em. My precious."

Exploding threads? Sounds like my typical work day!

(If you're not a programmer, that's probably not even close to funny...)

I giggled a little. My sub-conscience brain found it funny even though I don't think I intellectually get the joke.

Tyler would get it. When we want to do a task in a program without waiting around for an answer, we launch what is called a "thread" to run that task while we keep doing what we're doing. Seemingly inevitably, this causes problems, as the different threads collide with each other, trying to change the same data at the same time or one thread undoing changes that the other relies on.

Imagine the old sitcom bits where different waiters try to come in and out the same door bearing trays of food and dirty dishes, and the inevitable collision that results. Metaphorically, that was my day yesterday, and it will be my day today.

Glad you clarified. Here I thought you were moonlighting with Thunder Down Under. Spoiled my evening plans.

I fear that would spoil your dinner!

I realize I have been remiss in assisting with this thread's unnatural inflation.

So to appease the thread gods, I would like to offer this link to a link to an analysis of Tina's gold-winning story (which was submitted during, and discussed in) this quarter thread's original run, as it were.

&c.
