    No he's not, but he's wasting his time.........blank posts don't count according to Poorguy.

    Well, he posted that after people started posting blank posts. He probably should've went back and edited the first post though, to make it clear.

    Here are some thoughts:


    1. Everyone has a photographic memory. Some don't have film.

    2. He who laughs last, thinks slowest.

    3. A day without sunshine is like, well, night.

    4. On the other hand, you have different fingers.

    5. Change is inevitable, except from a vending machine.

    6. Back up my hard drive? How do I put it in reverse?

    7. I just got lost in thought. It was unfamiliar territory.

    8. When the chips are down, the buffalo is empty.

    9. Seen it all, done it all, can't remember most of it.

    10. Those who live by the sword get shot by those who don't.

    11. I feel like I'm diagonally parked in a parallel universe.

    12. He's not dead. He's electroencephalographically challenged.

    13. She's always late. Her ancestors arrived on the Juneflower.

    14. You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say will be misquoted then used against you.

    15. I wonder how much deeper the ocean would be without sponges.

    16. Honk if you love peace and quiet.

    17. Pardon my driving. I'm reloading.

    18. Despite the cost of living, have you noticed how it remains so popular?

    19. Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool.

    20. It is hard to understand how a cemetery raised its burial costs and blamed it on the high cost of living.

    21. Just remember... if the world didn't suck, we'd all fall off.

    22. The 50-50-90 rule: Anytime you have a 50-50 chance of getting something right, there's a 90% probability you'll get it wrong.

    23. It is said that if you line up all the cars in the world end to end, someone would be stupid enough to try and pass them.

    24. You can't have everything, where would you put it?

    25. Latest survey shows that 3 out of 4 people make up 75% of the world's population.

    26. If the shoe fits, get another one just like it.

    27. The things that come to those that wait may be the things left by those who got there first.

    28. Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach a man to fish and he will sit in a boat all day drinking beer.

    29. Flashlight: A case for holding dead batteries.

    30. Shin: A device for finding furniture.

    31. As long as there are tests, there will be prayer in public schools.

    32. A fine is a tax for doing wrong. A tax is a fine for doing well.

    33. It was recently discovered that research causes cancer in rats.

    34. Everybody lies, but it doesn't matter since nobody listens.

    35. I wished the buck stopped here, as I could use a few.

    36. I started out with nothing, and I still have most of it.

    37. When you go into court you are putting yourself in the hands of 12 people that weren't smart enough to get out of jury duty.

    38. Light travels faster than sound. This is why some people appear bright until you hear them speak.

    OK, I finished my last final.

    RYK, It's just a fun thread. No need to get Tissed. And by adding that comment, you've just contributed to what you are complaining about.

    It's 5:30 over here in Lake Charles, LA. An hour and a half left to go. I won't be here at 7:00 PM so I will count the posts to the closest time I can get back to the computer close to 7:00 P.M. It'll be really close to 7:00 PM though. I will then count the thread posts tomorrow while I am at work. I will have the results posted tomorrow at 10:00 A.M and a nice summary of everyone that entered.

    If this thread gets booted and I loose all the results, Tough noogies. It was a shot in the dark anyways.

    The count is freakin ridiculous. Might hit 2,000.

    My entry for the most brilliant thought:

    What were you thinking man?!!! You are going to spend days trying
    to tally all of these posts!

    I had 106 entries into my recent 1,000th post giveaway and it took
    me an hour to cut & paste all the posters into a table, alphabetize
    it to make sure there were no double-dippers, and cut the entries
    into equal size pieces of paper so that each entrant would have an
    equal chance at winning.

    THIS IS INSANE!!! image

    If you're gonna count them tomorrow at work, how are you gonna post the results at 10:00 A.M. Do you count fast or what?

Quite honestly, I don't expect to win this, so i'm not exactally trying. I'm just in it for the ride and the fun of watching others make fools of theirselves, right along with myself.
