First to get to exactly 40 wins
No one person is allowed to win more than 3 rounds in a row
Posts ending in '00' = 2 points, e.g. #100, 200, 300, etc.
Post #1000 = 3 points
Posts ending in '11' = 4 points, e.g. #11, 211, 311, etc.

A conspiracy, looks like.

 

Awww, you are counting down until my son's birthday.

 

Yep. That's what it is.

 

My partner's daughter was born on February 29.

Next year will be her fourth birthday, and she's hoping for a new car.

 

I remember a comic book when I was a kid in which a guy told Wonder Woman her rope wouldn't work on him. So she asked him what his birthday was and he said February 30th.

 

Just read this. Did you know that with the time zones Santa actually has 31 hours to deliver all his presents?

 

February 30!

What year did that happen?

Way before my time. And I'm ancient.

50 degrees out. Four !!!!

 

Pssh. It's -7°C (19°F) here.

 

It's unseasonably warm. We are having a very nice spring this winter up to this point.

 

Maybe TrustGzus will do a Super Seeking Special and not score anything until post #111

 

What's the Super Seeking reference about?

 

Somebody, not naming any names, had something of a track record of scoring 2 points when they already had 39 (the Seeking Special), and then topped it by landing a post ending in -11 when they had 38 points (the Super Seeking Special).

I'm still waiting for someone (I have my suspicion who it might end up being) to land 111 when they have 35 or more, or 1111 when they have 33 or more.

No S mention e of e who k this i person n might g be.
