Post/message count

[JustGeorge]

Yes, my post count defines my success in life, so I print every post and stick it to my fridge for the memory and bragging rights.

Unfortunately, I ran out of room after the first 500 posts, so I've bought 10 more fridges since. Totally worth it.

A shame we're not neighbors. I have some stuff I want to store in your fridge...

I've heard that this frubal exists in Iowa:

I have yet to confirm this info, though.

It does, kind of. Ours has a note under it that it's inedible.

Just steer clear of aubergines.

I've done enough international cooking at this point that I rotate between eggplant, aubergine, and brinjal without thinking...

It doesn't matter, because no one knows what the hell I'm saying half the time, anyways...

Does your post/message count matter to you? If so, why?

It doesn't, although I do try not to post too often. I love this forum, mainly because of the community, and I have considered it my virtual home for over 12 years. It's sometimes easy to get into a habit of posting too much if I don't make sure to keep my forum activity in check.

That sounds like the starting line of a horror movie.

Where's the fun in that. My father used to say "too much is plenty". I follow his sage advice here on RF.

Being my neighbor probably is a horror story...

I take pride in having a low post count considering the number of years I’ve been here.

We appreciate it too.

But when or why would someone gift a rat's butt?

My God, you're so hard to shop for.

Does your post/message count matter to you? If so, why?

I ask because I struggle to understand why someone might create a thread of the type ...

• Could God have four thumbs?

or

• Are whooping cranes birds?

In some cases such a thread might be created to not-so-subtly mock a previous effort, but I can't help but wonder if, in other instances, they result from a desire to boost one's message count.

Or it could just be fun.
Anyway, I like my post count dwarfing lesser posters.
But I never post just to increase it. Never.
That would be cheating.

BTW, the issue with God's thumbs isn't their number.
It's whom he puts under them.

It only matters to me in the sense that I like having a low count. I'm a little envious of @Vinidra when it comes to post count in relation to span of years on RF.



Looking at mūrtis or sacred statues of Viṣṇu, who is depicted with four arms, many Hindus would say, 'Yes, God has four thumbs.' Then, there are mūrtis of Sadāśiva, who is depicted with 10 arms. That's 10 thumbs; it might blow some non-Hindus' minds. Lol.



Unlike you, I post exclusively for frubals.

By the way, if the rest of you want to see more of my posts, I need 1,225 (because of Christmas Day) frubals for this particular post. If I don't get them by Boxing Day, I'll only post on the ULC message board.



Yes, even though you're 'as feminine as a Mack truck.'

Don't be envious of me! I just rarely have anything useful to say, lol.
