    A bit of a frivolous question this, but how difficult would it be to work out the most verbose posters on boards?

    It's one thing to have 50,000 one-liners and rolleyeses but a poster with 5,000 long-winded rants quality posts realistically contributes more so it might interest people to see a League of Windbags ordered by total wordcount.

    and only 4 posts involved.

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.

    I had to google that.

    My boss of course (Religious guy) was talking about the wind blowing in our front door and setting off the chime [that tells us when customers walk in] and he was joking with me: "Just leaving the door open for Elijah"

    This resulted in a lot of confusion while I explained I thought it was a reference to lord of the rings :confused:

    It's said that old Entish sounds like a lot like very slow groaning and creaking.

    Speaking for myself, I say Cnuts the lot of you. Ropedrink may elaborate further. :D

    We can't bust heads like we used to, but we have our ways. One trick is to tell 'em stories that don't go anywhere - like the time I caught the ferry over to Shelbyville. I needed a new heel for my shoe, so, I decided to go to Morganville, which is what they called Shelbyville in those days. So I tied an onion to my belt, which was the style at the time. Now, to take the ferry cost a nickel, and in those days, nickels had pictures of bumblebees on 'em. Give me five bees for a quarter, you'd say.
    Now where were we? Oh yeah: the important thing was I had an onion on my belt, which was the style at the time. They didn't have white onions because of the war. The only thing you could get was those big yellow ones...

    ;)
