ST has gone awesome. Truly. To celebrate this I have a new procedure. I count to 50 before pushing the button.

I count to 24.
24 hours that is.
And I can't begin to count the number of things I haven't posted once a good night's sleep has intervened.

Before pushing which button,John? I usually wait before pushing the "post this reply" button, but it usually takes less than a second of reading my post before I reflexively push the "edit" button.

Edit: Sure enough, I caught a typo in the second word of this post. Thanks to anyone who read it and was kind enough not to rub my face in it.

If I counted to 50 I would be left sitting in front of the computer wondering why I was there in the first place.
Dangerous procedure for us truly old guys, John!

jgill, if every poster used you as an example there would be no need for mods.

There has been tremendous interest in finding the evolutionary changes that made it possible for homo sapiens to survive. Without a sense of humor we would not have survived. Someone needs to look at the cave drawings in France to find evidence for a sense of humor. Maybe this is what killed the Neanderthal?
Apache rock art in Texas features huge penises. Clearly the Apache had a sense of humor, though no one attributes to them this trait.

For real?
Whilst there are many here whose word I would never accept, I will take the man at his.
The more posts the merrier. Post often and don't worry about the content. Nobody really cares. The larger the total number of posts the more effort that is required to find the good ones.
Industriousness is it's own reward.
As if to prove zBrown's point, here (with some industrial strength research) is a moving picture version.

Seriously? I'm not wasting my resources on this foolishly exhaustive computational model in order to alter my behavior. I'm summoning my most awesomest human heuristic - 1 2 skip a few 50! Oh wait did I get the right answer? :-)

I just count to 10, one for each type of person in this world.
You know, there are just 10 types of people.
Those who understand binary, and those who don't.

For some reason (probably because it's good), your humor has been hitting bull's eyes with me today, k-man.

Polonius said it best: "Give every man thy ear but few thy voice."

A Danish lord, Polonius is the father of Laertes and Ophelia. And he's exactly the kind of dad who's so embarrassing that you don't even want to bring friends to meet him: he's self-absorbed, long-winded, and dull.
When one of the players delivers a heart-wrenching speech about Priam's death, Polonius interrupts to say (and we are not making this up), "This is too long."--Schmoop
Please note that Mr. Polonius is placed in the cast to be comic relief, but only when played by the right actor, in which case he's likely to be hilarious.
"To be Polonius or not to be."--Spamlet, Act 50, Scene 50.
Spamlet is not famous, as it is one of the longest works for the stage EVER! It is a comedy of such hilarity that no one has lived through the entire play. Everyone who's ever tried to see the whole play has died laughing so far. It is banned in all fifty U.S. states and in most of the rest of the world because of this.
