Next Stop 999 on 999

Carotio · 08-10-09, 07:55 PM

Having just celebrated my 888th post count

, I wondered if not I could post a bit more than usual (I normally think twice before posting and I very rarely post just a smiley) to reach my next goal:

My 999th post on exactly September 9th 2009 aka 9-9-(200)9

That is just 30 days away, and 101 posts away, making it 3.3666666667 posts per day. I could start counting puppies and naming them....
but I guess that would probably be a bit too much of nothing.... :rotfl:

Also to consider: all those 101 posts wouldn't be made inside this thread anyway. So I may see if I find something interesting to post along the way.
For starters, I will be out of town August 17th till 29th, making it a bit more challenging. Though I will have internet access at my hotel, so I may post a few photos from my trip to Lyon, France, and maybe from the mountain in the Alps, which I plan to "conquer".....

So let the quest commence....

yeah, yeah, yeah, you bragging post whores...

Well, this is just a thought I throw out. As said, I will be out of town from next week, so I have tried to check up on travel insurances in case I fall down a mountain and needs a hospital plane home or something. We used to get that covered by our health care program for travels within the EU - yes, we did

- but not since 2008, like in because we got a right wing government.

I know the mountain is only around 1550 meters high, but still - accidents happen. Just last week a Danish boy of 17 lost his life after his father had his picture taken at the edge of a rock. First the father stood on the rock, and right after the boy stood there to get his photo, when the rock suddenly got loose and the boy slipped backwards and dropped 50 meters or more to the ground. Sadly he died.

Myself, I have also got my picture taken like that before, everybody does, so what are the odds?

So I was about to get an annual insurance, when I discovered how expensive that really is. You need it like max 5 weeks out of 52, and they demand a fortune, those greedy bastards, and in most cases you - thank god - don't really need them, so it's easy money for them. So I was wondering if travel insurances to the entire world are expensive in your countries as well?

Well, I have been busy these last few days. But soon I go on vacation, with very little time to go online, so what now?

OMG, OMG, OMG, OMG.....

Can I reach the final 53 posts in 24 days?

Hmm... maybe... the average has dropped to 2,2 posts per day now...

Did I mention that I will be climbing a mountain? And maybe never come back again? What a loss that would be, right?

Or I could be so fortunate to descend safely with a lot of great photos to post. One can never know...
Anyway, 28 hours, till my plane leaves...

PS: Just spamming, you know....

I wish you luck on your endeavor!

That aside, if you can get to 2000 posts after 9-9-09 before I meet you in person on the Euro-trip, I'll buy you a drink, pending if you survive your mountain climb

Carotio · 08-16-09, 05:03 AM

That would just be a weeks time to post 1002 messages, like 143 posts per day, and with an average online time of maybe 4 hours per day, that's 36 posts per hour, like in roughly 2 minutes per post, non-stop...

Let me ask you:
Are you mad?

Chad · 08-16-09, 12:08 PM

More or less a challenge

bookworm_020 · 08-16-09, 08:57 PM

Wait untill that seems like a small number!

Chad · 08-16-09, 11:27 PM

1000 posts are far away for me. I've gotta have the lowest-active member post per day ratio ever!

NealT · 08-17-09, 07:33 AM

Come on Carotio...I know you can do it...!

Carotio · 08-17-09, 02:50 PM

Just imagine, if a post containing nothing but smileys, how small a post count some other users would have otherwise....

Anyway, arrived in Lyon, France today, and I have walked around making a few photos, may upload one or two now and then....
Just enough to get my post count closer to 999 for the 999...

Carotio · 08-17-09, 04:37 PM

Now this is spam...

My takeoff from Copenhagen airport early today...

Raptor1 · 08-17-09, 05:13 PM
