I've been thinking of getting a life.

Getting a life is a good idea, Bill. They do take a lot of training though. The good thing is that they don't outlive you.

You won't find it here.

(Do you think Bill misses Gary?)

. . . 135 to go. Yay for numbers that are multiples of 5.


<sigh> . . . then why do I keep looking here? Perhaps I was Diogenes the Cynic in a previous life - back when I had one. He would have loved this thread.

I always get Diogenes mixed up with the guy with the dangling sword. Ya know? ... for all the times Diogenes comes up in casual conversation.

Don't tell him , but I miss Gary.

Gary is from California.

Quite.

how do you play this game?

So am I, is that a problem ?

Game ? This is not a game , we are dead serious.

It's lovely.

Glad you've joined us.

Long ago and far away, a thread started lamenting those times one is the last poster in a thread. That's the depth of the background.

Subsequently, it became a challenge to allow BillBlueEyes to post the 500th post in this series of threads. The idea was to boost his ego, male that he is. All users post - anything they want - up to post number 499. Then he swoops in and "wins." Everyone is happy. You may note that BillBlueEyes occasionally speaks in the third person.

To help the masses stay in line, the executive committee asked BillBlueEyes to formulate rules for posting. These appear, piecewise throughout the thread. We all love these rules and abide by them. They help to maintain order in what could appear to be a collection of pointless posts.

So jump right in. To test you, SOME people will post "opinions" that contradict what I've said. It's part of the game for you to ignore them. If you're really a normal, sane individual, you've probably wandered into the wrong corner of 3FC, but posting here can solve that.

Shut up, Bill!!!
