the Lakers Threepeat

I knew there was a reason I wasn't bothering to watch the NBA finals... lack of competition.

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

Oh, yeah, that reminds me... my night light is setting quickly, so I'd best pack it in... g'night all!

Goodnight Bear! Do let me know when you've read Connie Willis's books so we can talk about them!

If the post limit is 65k, will we be able to last in the current Hole until December? If so, howzabout starting a new Hole when TTT premieres?

Even if we keep our posting rate to the current 200/day, it would be 30,000 posts by November, after the Director's Cut DVD of FOTR, when previews of TTT would be starting, which I would think is the logical time to change, if we wait that long. If we double the rate to 400/day, we will be up to 60,000 by that time, way too close for comfort. Anyone have an opinion on the number of posts we will be getting?

If we go this route, WE MAY HAVE TO ELIMINATE RACES FOR THE '00' POST, TO BE SURE WE DON'T GO OVER THE LINE!!! If we break now, or soon, we won't have to do this.

Those numbers are for additional posts, added to the current 9000 - odd. At 400 posts/day we would go over the limit before the FOTR Director's cut DVD is released.

hehehe - Goodnight! Back in from tending the ponies! - Had two fuzzy navels and switched to ice water! - It's hot here!

I just like the idea of a new thread so we can have a new picture on it that works, and 10,000 was a good number.... I don't really mind either way!

Well I got started on a picture tonight, but probably won't have time to finish it and get it on my server until the weekend. Maybe as early as tomorrow night, though. I'll keep you posted. Better get to bed - I have already stayed up much later than I should have.

I was kind of torn between that and "The Road Goes Ever On and On..."

"The Road Goes Ever On and On..." can be in the first post!
I want to start the new thread now!

Thanks for your work on this! - I am going to try to go to bed now. It's late.

How about whoever posts the 10,000th post will get to host(ess) The Hobbit Hole Continues? That may cool off the competition for that post a bit. ;^)

BTW, good morning all!

-Kevin

Good morning you all

Are we actually renaming the thread?

Seems as traumatic exciting as painting the house another color.

Good Morning!

Painting the house? How long did it take you to pick a color?

Check this out, Sis! They are getting rave reviews and only cost $3! I'm thinking of buying a half dozen of them and including them in the care packages I send to the troops!
