OK, kid, with this many comments, you can get the CD Changer, the air rifle, or the RC Car.
Seriously, that's amazing.

I'd like to see more FPPs from jonmc, personally. He's got a ton of useless music trivia rattling around in there that he should be sharing.

14102.00 jonmcUnfortunately the first two values are so much higher than all the others because the index doesn't know how to count number of days of membership for those who signed up 'sometime in 1999' (user numbers less than 279). Dividing jonmc's and Matt's total posts+comments (14102 and 10998) by their six-plus years of membership (~2200 days) still yields some pretty respectable indices (top 25 or thereabouts). So, in truth, amberglow is TEH WINNAR but we still loves us our jonmc (jury's still out on this mathowie character).
10998.00 mathowie
12.98 amberglow

So... you see, it's like this.
Me and my gal were driving back from a night of debauchery. We played like we were kids, pretended we were nineteen and a fantabulous time with a jam band ( The Casual Fiasco is a damn good band, watch them, they will go far) with a bunch of steenkin' hippies. It was great.
Then the mean policeman stopped us on the way home... some silly stuff about 78 in a 55. But the mean policeman turned out to be a pretty decent guy, considering that he overlooked that unfortunate .09 BAC and just wrote a speeding ticket while he sat behind us for nearly an hour, watching us shove every illicit substance in the vehicle into our pockets, while we all waited for a fresh driver.
Fascinating stuff, ain't it?
We should talk more about our personal issues and keep better track of who contributes. Because, you know, it's so very important.

Congratulating? Hell's biscuits! 332 more comments in the blue and I get an espresso machine and two months of coffee. Which I will consume in less then 8 hours. 56 more posts and I get a recumbent bicycle. It's got a shiny flag on it and a bell. 558 more answers and I get a couple of rocks and a night at the local brothel, but I'm not too sure about all that. I think I might get the Virtual Boy instead.
Jon? Jon's got the pool table. It's got flames on it, came with cues and a light and everything. I hear he's saving up for the Harley.
