I don't remember any of these threads and most seem off topic. Whatever
happened to discussions of Robotron and Beer?

Well I think Ankman is practising (like me) to be an alcoholic by xmas.
So we're usually too drunk to post. Dungeon Dave is in rehab, PRoToCoL
is on the run, K.os is following his dream of being the first person to
create a scale replica of the Empire State Building from Lego and Lob
has been institutionalised. As for Rutger, he is trying to find out if
the answer really *is* 42. Sinner is still sinning ;)

I take it G2 is google groups as I know of no newsreader called that.
Slrn is gaining in popularity.

The secret is to put a wireless keyboard on the floor by the toilet,
then you can post no what what condition you are in.

Not a problem. I type with two hands.

Just heard the word, Cenosillicaphobia today. It is made up, but
represents the fear of having an empty glass of beer. Now if I can just
get my employer and insurance company to accept my disability, I'll be
all set.

That illness we can all live with, but what about the debilitating
myroundaphobia. An illness a few of my friends have caught. :)

I've just noticed an issue with these statistics. I was sceptical because I
knew this thread had more than 1 post - it has 8 in fact. However, it would
seem that because the thread subject was changed ("[OT]" was removed) then
the subsequent replies are not counted.

Just wondering how many other articles fall under this category.

How/from where are these statistics gathered?

Regards,

Had 8 on YOUR sever, only had 4 on mine. This script runs against a local
spool so if there are killed postings etc, they would not show up in ANK's
stats.

Sort of...

Twin Galaxies; Donkey Kong; World Record attempt; More beer; Better sit
down on the stool; No I'm better standing up; More beer; F***, dead
again; More beer; Sleep. Try again tomorrow.

Then, I thought, maybe something is wrong with the mame cab, so I pulled
it out from the wall a tad and crawled 'round in the back. Found myself
in Mamnia, and ending up having a coffee with the Witch. - She's actually
seemed like quite a nice old bird at first. She told me not to worry
about what others say or write about me, what's important is what's in
your heart. Then she started taking of all her clothes and throwing
herself (completely naked at this stage) at me. Jesus, she must have been
over 100 years old. F***, what the hell did she put in my coff
