Gullibility Personified Started conversation Sep 30, 2001
A little game, albeit a very bad one. I think I'll call it Post 42, for want of anything better.
objective: To be the person who post the 42nd post
rules: 1. You cannot post more than three times in a row.
2. You can't post the same thing every time (otherwise it would be boring.
3. No one is to be excluded unless they break a rule!
So, settle down for some riveting entertainment!

Is there one less to go? surely now it must be at least two less to go? makes a change from pizza to go wouldn't you say?
So, in order to reach this number of posts is there anything in particular we might chose as a subject to discuss? or shall wer just go with the flow as it were?
Ah, i myself must help the continuity of the thread and continue with the hangman thinggy, an E you said? you don't have any speed instead ? 
well here goes; and its a pretty good choice as it happens although i am worried if i got the spelling rite on tis one.
**A*E*A***. 
you can almost guess it

You flatter me, 2legs. Of course I can't. I thought it might be Braveheart, but there just aren't enough Es for that kind of excitement
Any chance of some C, or at least some 
, jwf?
Just as an aside, perhaps we could discuss the likelihood of a race to become the 90,000th registered researcher? only 143 to go.

Did you say C?
**ACE*A***.
How obvious now? ow easy ? its a good gam though? i must depart now for around 1 hour so no sneakily reaching '42 whilst i'm not here, please?

To continue; it's a book. Dare you to guess what it is.

Oh, all right. here's another film.

Arse. I've run out of tobacco. Better nip down the shop... Let's hope there's not a rush on postings, eh? Can I say arse? well I've said it twice now, so I may as well go for the hat trick. Arse.

Keen reader Mr Lennon informs h2g2 that just in case we ever refer to it, there are 4000 holes in Blackburn, Lancashire.

I agree with the 1st post, this is about as entertaining as riveting.
