ADVISORY
We keep getting email from people, some of them irate, who want this blog to fix the clock, because apparently this blog is off by an hour. In response, we would like to say that: (1) We don't know how to fix the damn clock, and (2) If you are relying on this blog for the accurate time, or anything else that involves accuracy, then you are on the wrong blog. This blog is about issues. Thank you.
The time at the tone is eleventeen hundred hours centigrade. BEEP.

*looks around at the wreckage and is very grateful to have not been here when whatever is that happened, happened. Picks up the most undamaged chair up, dusts it off and sets a three layer Red Velvet birthday cake on it and lights the candle. The candle begins softly playing the Happy Birthday song. Carefully picks way through the broken glass, etc. and tiptoes out so as not to disturb the proceedings, whatever they may be.*
Happy Birthday Surfbunny!

OK! I wanna piece *hic* :-)
Uhh, who's still got a steady hand?!
Posted by: eadn | April 21, 2004 at 01:44 PM
Oh MY! We're nearing 800! Ain't that the "literary" section of the Dewey Decimal System?! ;-)
An' Lady Punky, I did try to touch your own birthday comment, but got fouled up in the riggings between politeness, lust, and the fact that Your day is the same as was my Dad's ('cept he was born in 1923)
In any case, Dear Lass, I'm sure Lily will be Most Gracious with chocoholics and only a single candle to sweetly light your day by! :-)
Posted by: eadn | April 21, 2004 at 03:39 PM
I'm sure this can hit 800 by midnight, in some timezone. But where is everyone?
Posted by: Susan | April 21, 2004 at 04:21 PM
Present!
Just watching Sex and the City on DVD.
But I'm here.
What number is this ... let's see ... 800!
Posted by: Punky Brewster | April 21, 2004 at 04:57 PM
Susan, may I have this dance?
Posted by: eadn | April 21, 2004 at 05:10 PM
heh heh heh, Punky Dear Lass, I'm beginning to suspect that I'll be chasing Your Bloglit-tail long after the two suns in the sunset are done!
(P.S. don't let MeL know of your skills, else I may just end up chasing my own non-existent tail and turning into just some sortof cheesy butler! ;-)
Posted by: eadn | April 21, 2004 at 05:16 PM
Wow I leave and y'all have a party. Fine.
#801
Posted by: Con | April 21, 2004 at 05:17 PM
Con, THIS is actually #804
Posted by: eadn | April 21, 2004 at 05:22 PM
Con, YOU IS OK!
I guess my LTTG is catching even to guys! Anyways, I WAS LTTG to #666. No matter, The MOAT in The Blog,s AIEEE! doth ("doth" even!) go on. There came the sonic boom!! at #761 which rocked The Blog tower! Now, we have reached the Deweyvangelism of literary shelfnificance! Passed 800 and a long row to hoe to get to the 9s.
Now, in True Bloglit style, I've lost my point! C'est la me.... ;-)
Posted by: eadn | April 21, 2004 at 05:32 PM
Ahh, good to see the tradition is still going. Haven't had much time to visit blogland today, what with the horrible hangover and all. I see lily did a drive-by with her dessert cart.
Mmmmmmmm... Red Velvet!
Posted by: djtonyb | April 21, 2004 at 05:55 PM
Punky,
You may certainly have a cake for your birthday. What kind would you like? And would you like music playing candles or the really nifty re-lighting candles that everyone gets such a charge out of on everyone elses cake but think are a such a huge embarrasment on their own.
And with a heartfelt wish and a desperate effort to tie this into the original topic, surfbunny, may you have many thousands more seconds on your personal Death Clock!
Posted by: Lily | April 21, 2004 at 06:37 PM
Hippy Barthday, surfbunny
Posted by: Graz | April 21, 2004 at 07:02 PM
I think we need some sort of topic to discuss to continue this journey. Perhaps we could chat about the various amenities offered at eadn's condo?
I'm presupposing that you will let me be a guest/resident, eadn; do you have a bit of room for me (if you're awake to answer)?
Posted by: Genevieve | April 21, 2004 at 08:09 PM
If eadn has no room, I have the entire downtown Hades Hilton leased until 2540.
Swimming pool, movie stars.
Posted by: Graz | April 21, 2004 at 08:20 PM
815.
that is all.
*sips margarita and smiles*
Posted by: Punky Brewster | April 21, 2004 at 08:26 PM
You still up Punky? Wow.
*slams back a shot of Ouzo*
Posted by: Graz | April 21, 2004 at 08:28 PM
There must be a sauna in hell.
Posted by: Genevieve | April 21, 2004 at 08:32 PM
Sauna? All ya have to do is splash some water on any rock, and there ya go!
But they do have A/C at the Hilton and at eadn's condo.
Posted by: Graz | April 21, 2004 at 08:40 PM
That was an absolutely brilliant comment I just made. Applause, please.
Posted by: Genevieve | April 21, 2004 at 08:40 PM
Clap, clap, 'woohoo!'
Posted by: Graz | April 21, 2004 at 08:45 PM
But they do have sauna zones in hell.
It's where they have really heavy guys in small towels for ambiance.
Posted by: Graz | April 21, 2004 at 08:52 PM
Hence the brilliance of my comment, Graz.
Posted by: Genevieve | April 21, 2004 at 08:54 PM
To continue that thought, I mean that after making the comment, I realized many of its disturbing possibilities and implications.
Posted by: Genevieve | April 21, 2004 at 08:55 PM
Maybe in a few eons those large guys will be buff and slim?
Posted by: Graz | April 21, 2004 at 08:57 PM
Because they've been sitting around sweating for ages, I'd predict slim but not buff.
Posted by: Genevieve | April 21, 2004 at 09:12 PM
Hey guys ... just getting up to pee ... and it's back to bed I go.
Have fun without me :)
8.2.6.
Posted by: Punky Brewster | April 21, 2004 at 09:23 PM
No need to pee on the blog, Punky!
;)
Posted by: Genevieve | April 21, 2004 at 09:29 PM
Thanks for the info Punky ;-)
Actually, I checked into my email for *skip it* and decided to see how the MOAT was doing.
I'm just off to bed, but Genevieve, Yes! You're Welcome in my condo! More tomorrow when I have a brain by which to think! :-)
Posted by: eadn | April 21, 2004 at 09:30 PM
eadn-I wish I could have stuck around last night-you may certainly have had that dance. Unfortunately, I was at work and had to go pretend to be productive. Maybe a rain check?
I wonder when this will hit 1000. And what will happen then...
Posted by: Susan | April 22, 2004 at 05:11 AM
That is about what I expected.
Posted by: Susan | April 22, 2004 at 06:07 AM
Morning? All,
Lessee air-conditioning...check, saunas...check.
Graz, I gotta check in with Dante and see how the deals are going...maybe give him a little jab with the pitchfork (if I can remember where I left it ;-)
Posted by: eadn | April 22, 2004 at 08:54 AM
Now I can rest easy knowing that I've got a place to go, so thanks, eadn.
I just realized the irony of asking about "amenities" in hell. That word simply doesn't belong in hell, if you catch my implication.
Posted by: Genevieve | April 22, 2004 at 09:32 AM
Well, Genevieve, actually there are "amanytease" in Hell ;-)
Just to keep things stirred up, ya know :-)
Posted by: eadn | April 22, 2004 at 10:57 AM
840! Wo Ho! Just keeping the thread alive.
Posted by: Lee | April 22, 2004 at 02:04 PM
You are right eadn, but I'm afraid the oversize, sweaty men in the sauna aren't among them!
Posted by: Genevieve | April 22, 2004 at 02:33 PM
Genevieve, not to digress, let alone undress, but I've never been over-sized so I don't know.
Perhaps they're buff when slim for so long carrying that weight all over.
Hmmm, makes me wonder if that 300-pound lady I slid sideways past in the store today, might not actually have a shot at Ms. Olympia given time, diet, and all?!
Is a puzzlement! (Sorry but I love that line from the King and I! :-)
In the mantime, skip them saunatized men. They're just there to make it unbearably humid wit de heat :-)
Posted by: eadn | April 22, 2004 at 03:01 PM
In the meantime, at the tone...
Posted by: eadn | April 22, 2004 at 04:17 PM
The time will be...
Posted by: eadn | April 22, 2004 at 04:18 PM
(given I'm always LTTG ;-)
Posted by: eadn | April 22, 2004 at 04:19 PM
In another post or so..:-)
Posted by: eadn | April 22, 2004 at 04:20 PM
or not...
Posted by: eadn | April 22, 2004 at 04:21 PM
Post #848!
A full-circle spiral to Dave's (himself!) post-time!
Can I get a beer with that?! :-)
Posted by: eadn | April 22, 2004 at 04:25 PM
Good work eadn, although post #848 at 8:48 would have been even more clever.
Not that I would have even thought about the significance of the number prior to your post, mind you:)
Posted by: Genevieve | April 22, 2004 at 05:42 PM
Thanks, Genevieve, but since I'm usually LTTG, I'm gonna keep my crow feather even though I don't wear a cap! :-)
Posted by: eadn | April 22, 2004 at 06:22 PM
Genevieve
Don't sweat the sweaty guys.
Eadn
Do let me know 'bout them deals.
Posted by: Graz | April 22, 2004 at 08:20 PM
Just starting up the thread for the day...the thread that will never die...long live the thread!
Posted by: Blogchik | April 23, 2004 at 04:20 AM
Since the origional topic was time (I think), isn't it hard to believe that the comments section has been around for less than two months? I feel like I've known y'all for much longer than that!
Posted by: evil little pixie | April 23, 2004 at 04:50 AM
Graz, I just checked with the zombies and they said they had the pipeline laid down as far as they could go from Hel. (somewhere in the middle Halliburton got involved, but I got a refund on the overcharges ;-) It's up to the imps to take it the rest of the way to the Hades Hilton. Ya wanna borrow my pitchfork to keep 'em moving? :-)
Posted by: eadn | April 23, 2004 at 07:56 AM
Sorry I missed your sleepover Punky! However, it did seem that you had Graz well in hand ;-)
Posted by: eadn | April 23, 2004 at 09:46 AM
Punky, let me permit you with a standing-order! ;-)
Posted by: eadn | April 23, 2004 at 10:49 AM
Ok, dj:
Retrospectively FIRST!
I did post first, you know. First of all the mighty thread.
All hail the MOAT.
So, Punky, were you commended on your weiner-erecting abilities?
Posted by: Blogchik | April 23, 2004 at 10:49 AM
Hey punky, you posted the link to the test, but not your score! What are you hiding, kinkster? ;-)
Posted by: Lee | April 23, 2004 at 01:05 PM
I do have to give Punky the kudos.
It was the fastest, and longest standing weiner erection that I have ever been party to.
Also, you must all know that the difference between erotic and kinky is...
Posted by: Graz | April 23, 2004 at 01:24 PM
Erotic is where you use a feather.....
Kinky is where you use the whole damn chicken.
Posted by: Graz | April 23, 2004 at 01:26 PM
Slick, Graz, verrry slick! :-)
Posted by: eadn | April 23, 2004 at 01:29 PM
Considering how badly that chicken's been used; we're a pretty kinky bunch! Get thee over to the Carstuckgirls thread and take punky's kinky test! I need to see everyone's score! Very, very badly. ;->
Posted by: Lee | April 23, 2004 at 01:31 PM
867, for anyone still keeping count.
Posted by: Lee | April 23, 2004 at 01:35 PM
Hell, just movin' it along.
Nothing of note here 'cept...
#868 and still alive :-)
Posted by: eadn | April 23, 2004 at 05:23 PM
Kinky Test Score: 505
Post Number: 869
Posted by: Punky Brewster | April 23, 2004 at 05:47 PM
Just wanted to help this thread stumble one step closer to the ultimate goal... which is... um,... Alex, help me out? Are we shooting for sheer number of posts or an incredible length of time to still be alive???
Posted by: Leetie | April 23, 2004 at 06:11 PM
Leetie Lady :-) I would venture that once Dave's Blog turns to the May calendar, this MOAT will lose interest in the weaving ;-)
However, I do think, as an Honor to us! that it should be banked in the Productivity Enhancers section just to make us all smile! :-)
Posted by: eadn | April 23, 2004 at 06:49 PM
Leetie,
We're trying to make the thread go on forever, hence the monikers:
The Thread That Wouldn't Die
The Eternal Thread
Any other numbers are a trick to keep us motivated. Can we literally bat 1000, here?
Posted by: alex | April 24, 2004 at 03:08 AM
#873. Just to keep count.
Posted by: alex | April 24, 2004 at 03:09 AM
Ok, I'll do my best to help. Perhaps bring an interesting link or 2. I'm surfing worth1000.com this morning... currently quite amused by the postage stamp entries here. I'd kill for the Greg Brady stamp.
Posted by: Leetie | April 24, 2004 at 04:22 AM
ACK! Leetie, I checked into your link and the first thing to hit me in the face was Pee-Wee Herman! Thankfully, Timothy Leary popped up right after with a tab of acid! ;-)
In the meantime, Good Morning All! And I have the coffee on extra-strong today! :-)
#875
Posted by: eadn | April 24, 2004 at 07:19 AM
It's sad to say, but I'm neglecting the rest of the blog in favor of the Eternal Thread.
Long live the thread!
#876 and all's well...
Posted by: Blogchik | April 24, 2004 at 07:46 AM
877.
Slept until 1 PM.
Wondering if I should eat breakfast or lunch now?
Decisions. Decisions.
Posted by: Punky Brewster | April 24, 2004 at 08:57 AM
Yes, all is well. And eerily quiet since I got away from my roommate and into a computer lab. Not like he speaks, but there's no obnoxiously loud rock music playing in the backgroud behind the sound effects of his computer games. Kinda reminds me of the subject of this blog.
877.
Posted by: alex | April 24, 2004 at 09:03 AM
oops. that was 878.
879.
Posted by: alex | April 24, 2004 at 09:03 AM
Punky,
This probably won't work with you, because it doesn't really help someone keep a nice figure ;) but, given my stomach capacity, I just eat breakfast and lunch at the same time. Also time-efficient so I can waste more time here. :)
Posted by: alex | April 24, 2004 at 09:05 AM
And now for something completely different.
I think my computer's a pot-head.
Posted by: alex | April 24, 2004 at 09:07 AM
8 8 2
Here I am at work again.
Why wasn't I born wealthy?
Posted by: Graz | April 24, 2004 at 09:31 AM
What happened to "I hear crickets chirping" on your blog, Alex? I was going to gloat about being a grammar god!!!
Posted by: Leetie | April 24, 2004 at 11:27 AM
Whoops, never mind, they're back again... maybe your computer really is stoned... but now my comment is not being accepted...

"whoops, there it goes!"

515 on punky's kink test
just wanted to help out the MOAT
Posted by: steven | April 24, 2004 at 07:24 PM
Well done, Steven.
Being the competitive person that I am ... I'm certain that I can beat your 515 (its only 10 more points than what I scored!) ... Anyone have some free time on their hands (or knees) and feel like helping me beat Steven's score?
Oh, and #888!
Posted by: Punky Brewster | April 24, 2004 at 07:44 PM
#889
Hey. punky Ive got plenty of time to spend on my hands or knees(but then we will both get the same # of points)..you'll never catch up with me ;)
Posted by: steven | April 24, 2004 at 08:16 PM
Punky, with my 570, I can get you there....."there" being open to your own definition.
Posted by: Graz | April 24, 2004 at 08:35 PM
WOW Graz, 570 I'm impressed!!!
Posted by: steven | April 24, 2004 at 08:40 PM
I also got a 90 out of 100 on the test that Lee posted on the stuckcargirls thread.
Maybe I should shoot for 100.....it'd give me a goal in life.
Posted by: Graz | April 24, 2004 at 08:48 PM
I only got an 80.. and I thought I had tried or was willing to try anything.
Graz, you're my hero!
Posted by: steven | April 24, 2004 at 08:52 PM
Just to help the MOAT along, I'll post the same entry as on another thread. My score on the kinky test was 216, altough it would have been higer had "sex" been replaced with "heavy making out that's almost as satisfying and won't get you pregnant."
#894
Posted by: evil little pixie | April 25, 2004 at 06:36 AM
I scored an 85 on the other kinky test.
Damn Mile High Club!
Posted by: Punky Brewster | April 25, 2004 at 07:03 AM
Punky, that was my achilles heel on that test also.
Posted by: Graz | April 25, 2004 at 07:47 AM
#898
And late to the gate.
That's my fate.
Good Morning, Everyone :-)
Posted by: eadn | April 25, 2004 at 08:27 AM
Actually, I haven't been to Fiji since 1985. Might be worth investigating.
Whatever you need me to do to help out, Punky;-{)
Posted by: Graz | April 25, 2004 at 12:10 PM
Obligatory daily post to the big, giant thread!
900!!!!
Posted by: Lee (490 and counting ;-) | April 25, 2004 at 12:26 PM
Lee, WaytaGo!
It's been bugging me since this morning, but I couldn't come up with a 900 reference that would do.
But I think you capped it for me since I usually do check the MOAT first when I first check into The Blog in the morning! :-)
(P.S. All, feel free to shoot me for one of the worst sentence structures I've ever used ;-)
Posted by: eadn | April 25, 2004 at 01:02 PM
Thanks, eadn. Just doin' my part to get us over 1000. I wonder if the blog will implode...
Posted by: Lee (490 and counting ;-) | April 25, 2004 at 01:10 PM
Ok, you asked for a 900 reference. I give you The 900 Club. Warning: this site might be harmful to your eyes and/or appetite.
Posted by: Lee (490 and counting ;-) | April 25, 2004 at 01:16 PM
And another! The 900 Miler Club.
Key quote: "Have you ever thrown a rock at a bear? Why? What did the bear do? Has anyone seen a Panther? Have you been chased or threatened by a Wild Boar?"
Posted by: Lee (490 and counting ;-) | April 25, 2004 at 01:21 PM
Lee, Nope! Nope! Nope! The first time I tried the link, it didn't load right, so all I got was a half a dozen paragraphs and no pics.
When I tried a second time and REALIZED what I was doing, well, let's just say I'm fast on the "back" button!
By the way, What is (490 and counting ;-)? or should I remain clueless a while longer?
Posted by: eadn | April 25, 2004 at 01:27 PM
heh heh Lee, the 900 miler link was safe, but I think Punky and Graz are looking more vertically ;-)
Posted by: eadn | April 25, 2004 at 01:32 PM
That's my latest score on punky's kinky test, but I'm sure I can do better...
Posted by: Lee (490 and counting ;-) | April 25, 2004 at 02:41 PM
Ah, Lee, well I scored kinda middlin', but that's OK by me, I'm like born-&-bred security-conscious and still move at my own risk assessment (OK, my Dad was in primarily fire insurance, it rubs off ;-)
"Wild" is negotiable, but not flagrantly and some things the test asked just don't float my boat!
Posted by: eadn | April 25, 2004 at 03:16 PM
There's a few things on there that certain don't float my boat either, so I'll never get that perfect score. Har! ;-]
Posted by: Lee (490 and counting ;-) | April 25, 2004 at 05:44 PM
