Thats not necessarily true, Joe Torrie's no. 6 isn't retired although its not currently being used.quote>

He's still involved in baseball, though, so of course his number isn't retired. But it probably will be.

Considering they called him J-Fraud and all it'd be a tough sell.

Yep and there will be a huge celebration for Frank Thomas in Chicago, on the 17th i think.  I'm sure your glad he finally gets the recognition he deserves right? You probably already know about it.

I should probably be finishing my math assignment now.

EDIT: Dropped thousand? What dropped thousand? You saw nothing...

[Duke87 1,070]

Ah ah, we're not going to start dropping thousands now.

7236: why not make this thread last a bit longer, duke?

We must make forward progress!

It's The 10,000 Post Thread, not the 11,000 Post Thread!

[astronelson 339]

7239.

And the chances of it ever becoming the 20,000 post thread are slim. Imagine the loading time on that!

[Larks2242 251]

7240.

Well we are getting there, perhaps we continue on the next thead.

IE 10,001 + on the new one and call that the 20,000 post thread ect. maybe even hit 1 million one day

[Muck308 55]

7241

I'm not committing to any 1,000,000 Post Threads!

[Duke87 1,070]

(7242)

No commitment is necessary! Ask any of the 55 people that have posted in this thread exactly once.

[citiesxlfan42 27]

7243. Being the creator, I think this thread could go a wee bit longer than 10,000. We'll see when we get there and wherther there is demand for such an expansion. as of now, I don't think so. But maybe after this, a 1,000 post speed thread? I don't know. But the legacy MUST LIVE ON!

Anyway, a 1,000,000 post thread. Loading time=5 hours...and 21 minutes.

A 1,000,000 post thread...that'd be crazy long!! I wonder if it's fall apart before we got to that..

[Vahr 341]

7245

Well remember the more the places, the amount of work needed rises exponentially. So yeah, lets stick with 10,000

[Duke87 1,070]

Lag is already becoming a problem here. No thread has ever gotten past 9,000, so going for 10,000 is ambitious as it is. Trying to push beyond that simply isn't going to work.

Fortunately, the end of this thread won't be the end of the game. Many forum games (and other threads) have already gone into second, third, and even fourth incarnations. I don't see why this one would be any different.

We're having a celebration for some guy? Didn't know that...

[Vahr 341]

7248

We celebrate a lot of days for some guy or group of people

[Larks2242 251]

* Facepalm* Chptrk i give up if you don't know "The Big Hurt" then who do you know?

[Muck308 55]

7250

That boy could hit.

[Duke87 1,070]

(7251)

Yeah, "some guy".

Random fact: his rookie card (1990 Topps #414) is valued at $3.00 US. Hmm, that's kinda underwhelming...

[Chptrk 86]

7252.

Sorry! It's just that I don't follow sports often, much less players.

Now, maybe if it was Michael Jordan, I'd know more...but that's about it.

[tjh876 31]

7253 Well, Ill just say what I have to, I am a fan of teams based in Philadelphia, because I was born there, my family is from that area, and I live in the area. So yeah, I support Vick, and I believe in second chances, as well as I support the Phillies, as they are something special to this town, a well as I love watching the flyers fly, hockey has become very interesting to me this year. But basketball and the sixers, well, that's a different story.

[astronelson 339]

7254.

The bookstore is holding a copy of Good Omens for me. I'll probably go pick it up in a little while.

[citiesxlfan42 27]

Oooops. 7255.

I'm busy with reading Red Storm Rising by Tom Clancey. It's really good. The Soviets are trying to take over Europe and the NATO. It's like a gloatified game of Risk.

And it's party time in the 10,000 post thread because...

It's the 1 year anniversary of me being on ST! 

     

It really isn't that big of a deal, but I just thought it was cool. See ya!

[Duke87 1,070]

(7256)

You forgot the number.

[astronelson 339]

7257.

I got my copy of Good Omens. I also bought Terry Pratchett's Pyramids.

What are we talking about? Practice!

[Ocram's Razr 964]

7259

Now that I have read Good Omens, what Terry Pratchett book should I read next?

[tjh876 31]

7260 Risk, I love that game. Its so much fun, although I always seem to get taken down my attempts to invade, as well as when I get surrounded.

[Skimbo 304]

7261

oops, I nearly forgot to post here

[Duke87 1,070]

(7262)

I've actually never played Risk. None of my friends or family ever owned a copy of it.

The game I really loved as a young kid was Chutes and Ladders. Well, that and Battleship.
