Place Your Bets: Guess the Subject of FR's One Millionth Thread! Win Nothing!

October 11, 2003

[Timesink]

When this post goes up, it will have a number somewhere in the 9995xx range, maybe 9996xx if I get distracted while typing this. We're only a few hundred threads away from rolling over the odometer.

I have no idea at what point JohnRob started his numbering scheme, so I don't know if thread 1000000 will truly be the one millionth thread posted on FR, or even anywhere close. But then, this post has no point other than fun anyway, so who cares?

Make your guess! What will be the subject of thread 1000000? The winner gets to claim the title of Ofishul FR Psychic!

Now I feel really sheepish.

Good thing you don't live in the mountains down south......

...was that baaaaaaad or what?

I'm glad Marcus Alonzo Hanna has the 1,000,000th thread.

His topic is perfectly fitting!

"Politics" is kinda' vague? Man, it's totally vague! FWIW, I meant for my "guess" to be bogus.

I know. I figured as much. And it was pretty funny. But I was trying to find a winner, and yours was about the closest. Besides, not all threads here are about politics.

"Whatever it is, it will be moved to Chat."

LOL! What, are you saying the millionth FR thread won't be breaking news?

;) :)

"We're only a few hundred threads away from rolling over the odometer.

Computer odometers typically "roll over" at power of two numbers such as:

2^7 (signed byte) = 128
2^15 (signed short integer) = 32768
2^31 (signed long integer) = 2147483648"

*eyes glaze over and says to hubby*

"Honey, wake me up on the millionth thread, 'kay? ;)"

The 1,000,000th thread will be somebody's OPUS!!
Because--
After 1 million threads we still will have not found out who hired Craig Livingstone!!! (But we have strong suspicions)

<:|-)~~

[weegee]

Well this breaking thread BROKE. It's now in Extended News

[weegee]

This opus almost got 1000 posts (and the poster never retired)...

What the hell does it take to get an answer around here?

[JoeSixPack1]

Yep! But the good ol' days had Ash and A+bert seeing who could "Opate" more! :-)

Only because my silly 999,999 thead got pulled -- but yours was legit thread, so I am not about to quibble.

Its a good thread, too! Congrads

[freedumb2003]

Since several runner up threads have already be ZOTted, I'll give you your consolation prize here:

Thanks and they were. Wonder what would have happened if I was the 1M thread with the Cheesy/tacky subject! :)

BTTT

There's no need to ask "what if". Elect Kooky Clark president and you'll have someone who will work to solve the nation's time travel problem...

Candidate Wesley Clark sees time travel as possible (follow-up)

Don't ask "what if I was the 1 millionth thread poster" when you can "be" the 1 millionth thread poster STILL.

Ann Coulter will be mentioned. The obligatory photos will be a major part of it.

(OK all you crazy Ann fans who are smart enough to know how to post the pics, start posting them here!)
