Who will be the last person to add to this "never ending" thread?

[Mark Metcalfe]

:smilies0262:

I looked for a little devil smilie on this one. B^)

[Jim Chabot]

Shea will be the last one to add to this thread.

[Jim Chabot]

Than again it could be Ben?

[Jim Chabot]

Maybe George?

[Jim Chabot]

No it can't be George. If George posts, then Hans must respond, or perhaps Ben.

[Jim Chabot]

So it is settled, it will possibly be Ben.

[Jim Chabot]

I don't think that it will be me.:tongue::tongue::tongue::tongue::tongue::tongue :

[Diane Likens]

I bet it won't be me. 'Course it could be if other NazNetters read this and decide to prove me wrong!

[Benjamin Burch]

Boom!

[Benjamin Burch]

Boom!

apparently you are not allowed to submit a post in all-caps. Bummer.... I've been stymied. NazNet refuses to allow my dramatic entrance to be as dramatic as it could be...

[Bob Hunter]

Pow!!

[Jim Chabot]

KaPow!

:tongue:

[Shea Zellweger]

not me! I'm not even going to post in this thread!

[Ed DiSante]

Maybe we should add a needle to it

[Marsha Lynn]

not me! I'm not even going to post in this thread!

Me neither. Don't try to make me, 'cause I'm not going to do it.

[Marsha Lynn]

I've killed plenty of threads, but this one may be an exception.

Looks like a few of you have been watching some Batman reruns lately, huh?

Nope, not you either.

A representative from the far North would be a good way to close this thread! In fact I guess I could do that but I won't !

[George Wallace]

I should be studying, why am I even posting!? Maybe I am not and it's all a dream. Maybe I'll wake up and Hans, Dennis and I will all be sitting around the same table enjoying Dr. Peppers and Doritos discussing how much we truly agree!


To dream ... the impossible dream ...
To fight ... the unbeatable foe ...
To bear ... with unbearable sorrow ...
To run ... where the brave dare not go ...
To right ... the unrightable wrong ...
To love ... pure and chaste from afar ...
To try ... when your arms are too weary ...
To reach ... the unreachable star ...

This is my quest, to follow that star ...
No matter how hopeless, no matter how far ...
To fight for the right, without question or pause ...
To be willing to march into Hell, for a Heavenly cause ...

Man what ever happened to Robert Goulet?

Blessings
George

[Jim Chabot]

George, I want you to know that I have been praying for you and Hans over the last couple of days, what I have been reading has truly been heartbreaking. What a joy it would be, not to see you two necessarily agree, but to see that you both recognize His Spirit in each other.


Of course you cannot be the last one to post on this thread, you know the rules.

Curses*! Foiled again.

But wait! It's me again! Whoo-hoo! I'm back on top.

(What moderator worth his or her salt would dare close the thread and reveal their power-hungry, egotistical, selfish, and carnal** nature?)

*Only mild euphemistic curses in keeping with the Nazarene-friendly nature of this site, of course.

**carnal -- a mild curse used by holiness people to label the actions of others as power-hungry, egotistical, and selfish and, thus, intimidate them into less assertive behavior.

[Tinker Boyd]

I predict that it won't be me and I'm never wrong.

[Jim Chabot]

I predict that it won't be me and I'm never wrong.

You are clearly playing with fire with that comment. Surely you must realize that Scott could with his super moderator powers simply close this thread leaving you as the final poster!

Then again that would be a dirty trick, something that Scott would never do, so I guess your safe.

In any case I've got your back.

Unless Scott deletes my post before closing the thread with his super powers.

Nah.

[David Troxler]

At least let me be the first to add to this thread.

Being the mature person I am, I will not stoop to engage in this petty power struggle. So . . . . goodbye.

Hey, I said "Goodbye!"

I'm waiting for you to hang up so I can hang up.

Wait, why should the moderator have the power to close this thread? I'm just as important as he/she is! I declare this thread "CLOSED!"

No, of course this isn't a ploy to be the last poster. I told you I don't play that game.

Goulet? Perhaps Goulet has morphed into a "Ghoulie" [considering the season that just passed]? (I know, I know ... rather flat attempt, huh?)

Lasty, for today, Marsha gets the "funniest post in this thread" honors. Tho' revealing her proud carnality via her attempt at being the funniest yet [see her explanation :smilies1722:], that attempt was so well executed, it worked! :smilies0262:

My prediction? This thread has the potential to become as long as a few of the other "fun forum" threads ... such as the hymn one, or the first-word-that-comes-to-mind one, or ...........

Congratulations, David! You have successfully and correctly answered Mark's question.

(OK, everyone, thanks for playing. Game over. You can quit posting now.)

I just can't believe how immature you all are being. Didn't we stop playing this game when we were children? Enough is enough already. End of discussion.

[Marsha Lynn]

Maybe two people will go off to the Argument Room while everyone else is Nazarene napping and then one of the two won't know his lines and that will kill the thread.

[Jim Chabot]

I was hoping you would say "yes it is" and then we could reenact the argument room skit.... oh well.

And I was hoping that you would try to attach a smiley face, only to be refused because the post maximum is six. I suppose that trick no longer works on you?

There is an old saying in American culture from the beginning of the nation, "Let George do it," but I think they meant that George Washington had done so many outstanding things for the founding of the nation that the expression became popular but I am willing to let George Wallace do it.

Do you think the admonition in Luke 17:30-32* means we can't take just a second to add one final message to NazNet before we go?


* LK 17:30 "It will be just like this on the day the Son of Man is revealed. 31 On that day no one who is on the roof of his house, with his goods inside, should go down to get them. Likewise, no one in the field should go back for anything. 32 Remember Lot's wife!

[G R 'Scott' Cundiff]

Do you think the admonition in Luke 17:30-32* means we can't take just a second to add one final message to NazNet before we go?

Person one: Why were you left behind?
Person two: I think it was because I didn't pay my tithe.
Person three: I think it was because I cheated on my spouse.
Person four: I think it was because I ran back to the computer to be the last person to post to a thread on NazNet.

[George Wallace]

Thinking of last things always makes reminds me of Donna Summer.

Last dance
last dance for love
yes, it's my last change
for romance tonight

I need you, by me,
beside me, to guide me,
to hold me, to scold me,
'cause when I'm bad
I'm so, so bad

So let's dance, the last dance
let's dance, the last dance
let's dance, this last dance tonight...

Sorry about the dancing references. This is a Naz form after all.

Blessings
George

[George Wallace]

Or if your old enough, how about The Drifters...

You can dance-every dance with the guy
Who gives you the eye,let him hold you tight
You can smile-every smile for the man
Who held your hand neath the pale moon light
But don't forget who's takin' you home
And in whose arms you're gonna be
So darlin' save the last dance for me

Oh I know that the musics fine
Like sparklin' wine,go and have your fun
Laugh and sing,but while we're apart
Don't give your heart to anyone
But don't forget who's takin' you home
And in whose arms you're gonna be
So darlin' save the last dance for me...

Sorry about the references to dancing and wine. This is a Naz forum after all.

In any case, according to Jesus in Matthew 20:16 the last person to add to this thread will be Mark Metcalfe. The real question is, "who will be first?"

Oh but I'm a complicated conservative, we are not monolithic you know. I like Monty Python, The Simpsons, Bob Dylan, Pete Seeger, Woody and Arlo Guthrie, Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity and Michael Savage and I listened to a TV preacher named Gene Scott for 20 years. Some on the Left, some on the Right and nobody in the middle, but they are all entertaining!

Well, actually, you're the FIRST ... it shows you're the first one after midnight, according to the clock this forum follows. But then at your end of the country, it wasn't yet midnight ... and it still isn't ... so you're no longer the last one if you go by your time, b/c now here's my post getting in the way of yours being "the last" of the (your time) day. ;)

No twelve hours for you today, buddy! I think I really should go for the next to last position. I'm sure someone else will come by soon, even though we all ought to be busy with other things on a Sunday morning.

(Hey, you person reading this and thinking about posting, isn't there something you need to be doing right now?!)

Actually yes, I need to go out for a nice breakfast, and then from there I'm going to church. Thanks for the gentle reminder.

[Jim Chabot]

And I'm back already!

[Norayr Hajian]

This sounds like a confession to me, Norayr. ;)

If only I had that skill!

[Benjamin Burch]

me...?

[Jim Chabot]

me...?


PERHAPS? :praying:

me...?

JUST CURIOUS, HAVE YOU NOTICED THAT GLENDA HAS CRACKED THE NO POST ENTIRELY IN CAPS RULE?

JUST CURIOUS, HAVE YOU NOTICED THAT GLENDA HAS CRACKED THE NO POST ENTIRELY IN CAPS RULE?

This is a rhetorical question, isn't it? You're hoping that we'll all quietly nod and take note of Glenda's skill without comment, aren't you? Well, no such luck, buddy. You're no longer last!

[Benjamin Burch]

:smilies0275:

It would appear that the addition of a smiley makes it to where the post is not technically "all-caps." Nicely done.

Correct you are! Only took me four or five tries to figure it out. At first I thought that the addition of punctuation did the trick. Nope the smiley is needed.

Hmmm............now I'm guessing that this may also crack the five character rule as well?

[Jim Chabot]

YEP:smilies1404:

[Jim Chabot]

Could it also be the secret back door way around the no cussing rule as well?

Made ya look!

Jim, for a second I thought that a snow storm hit NazNet.

[Gina Stevenson]

So, apparently a period with a bunch of spaces behind it counts as enough characters, too ... you ... you ... you ...

CHARACTERS !! ;)

[Marg Shurtliff]

Managed 45 minutes yesterday but won't even get that today ! Sure will be hard to attain success here with so many others wanting to be last !

[Norayr Hajian]

Managed 45 minutes yesterday but won't even get that today ! Sure will be hard to attain success here with so many others wanting to be last !

It just goes to show how seriously we take our faith - each one wanting to be last.

[Norayr Hajian]

Oh... and by the way... I think I'm last on page 4.

:smilies0262:

[David Graham]

Hmmmm I still think Glenda......... she's lurking in the background ready to pounce! :ihe_cowboy:

[Marg Shurtliff]

Oh... and by the way... I think I'm last on page 4.

:smilies0262:

Sorry Norayr , but it changes , too. At the moment post # 1 sits on page5 , all by itself , Mark .
Page 4 post 2 is Jim and # 41 is Larry . Page 3 starts with Gina at 41 and ends with ME at 81 . Page 2 begins with Benjamin at 82 and finishes with Gina at 121 . Then page 5 starts with Jim at 122 and finishes with David at 161 which wil all change when I hit post !

[Norayr Hajian]

I don't know. On my set up, each page holds 40 posts, so post 40, 80, 120, and 160 are always the last on those pages.

[Marsha Lynn]

Good night, all.

(Don't bother to respond. I know you're all very, very sleepy. Just let the thread drop slowly down the list of posts. Doesn't it look nice dropping? Just let it drop. Don't bother it. You are too sleepy. Very, very sleepy. You need your rest. Move your hands away from the computer and let your eyes close...)

Oh... and by the way... I think I'm last on page 4.

:smilies0262:

Nawww, you're last on my page 8 ... must be you set up your pages to have 40 posts each, while I set it up for 20. ;) [didn't know it was adjustable?]

Hey, I'm late enough -- 1:44am Monday -- that it might last awhile ... unless Hans comes along from over yonder where they're 5-6 hrs ahead, and posts not too long hence.

:smilies0295: {hi, Hans!}

[Jim Chabot]

Mornin All!!!

Good Mornining Jim!

Jim lost a "g". Can anyone help him find it?

Ahhhh-chooooo.

Oh, excuse me, I'm not really participating in this thread. That just slipped out as I was reading it.

[Norayr Hajian]

Bless you.

[G R 'Scott' Cundiff]

Bless you.

Thanks.

[Norayr Hajian]

Any time.

[Glenda Harvey]

ME! :smilies0150:

[G R 'Scott' Cundiff]

Any time.

Don't mention it.

[Norayr Hajian]

I'll be sure not to.

[Tinker Boyd]

I'll be sure not to.

Me either.

[Glenda Harvey]

ME! :smilies0150:

[G R 'Scott' Cundiff]

Glad that is settled - let's not post about it anymore.

[Marsha Lynn]

Glad that is settled - let's not post about it anymore.

Great idea, Scott. Thanks for suggesting it.

[Norayr Hajian]

Great idea, Scott. Thanks for suggesting it.

I'll second that thought.

[G R 'Scott' Cundiff]

Great idea, Scott. Thanks for suggesting it.

Well, it's settled then. I guess this is it. Thanks to everyone for participating.

[Norayr Hajian]

It wouldn't be right not to say "you're welcome".

[G R 'Scott' Cundiff]

It wouldn't be right not to say "you're welcome".

No, really, it goes without saying, please don't trouble yourself.

[Marsha Lynn]

It wouldn't be right not to say "you're welcome".

You're so right. I'm glad you have taken the initiative here.

[G R 'Scott' Cundiff]

You're so right. I'm glad you have taken the initiative here.

Please, please, you're embarrassing me. Let's not hear another word about it.

[Glenda Harvey]

I think Glenda should get the title based off persistance!!

If Glenda were the only persistent one we wouldn't have to vote on it, would we?

[Norayr Hajian]

Please, please, you're embarrassing me. Let's not hear another word about it.

Sorry. I should be considerate and not embarrass you. I withdraw my "you're welcome". :smile:

You are a scholar and a gentleman.

[Tinker Boyd]

Well I'd play but I have to go do my homework.

[G R 'Scott' Cundiff]

Well I'd play but I have to go do my homework.

I'd play, but it's beneath my dignity so I'll continue to ignore it.

[Norayr Hajian]

You are a scholar and a gentleman.

Thank you very much!

[Tinker Boyd]

I have a hunch that I know what Glenda is going to say the next time she posts.

[Marsha Lynn]

I'd play, but it's beneath my dignity so I'll continue to ignore it.

Yea, I never play these silly games. I have much more productive ways to spend my time.

[G R 'Scott' Cundiff]

I agree. I'm rather disappointed with several who have participated in this thread. It seems as though they could make better use of their time. I suggest everyone show good sense and abandon this thread immediately.

[Charlotte 'Mercer' Burton]

I agree. I'm rather disappointed with several who have participated in this thread. It seems as though they could make better use of their time. I suggest everyone show good sense and abandon this thread immediately.

I second the motion!

[Tinker Boyd]

Okay, I'll give of myself and I'll be the last one out. You guys go on and I'll just stay behind and make sure no one gets left. Go ahead. I'll be okay. You guys can leave now.

[Charlotte 'Mercer' Burton]

Okay, I'll give of myself and I'll be the last one out. You guys go on and I'll just stay behind and make sure no one gets left. Go ahead. I'll be okay. You guys can leave now.

Now what kind of Christians would we be if we left you here alone?

[Marg Shurtliff]

I don't know. On my set up, each page holds 40 posts, so post 40, 80, 120, and 160 are always the last on those pages.

I have mine on 40 as well but as people post , the others get pushed around. Maybe you have the oldest posts show up first and scroll to the end and latest ones .I have the latest post at the top and I go back till when I read it before . Guess your numbering could remain the same then . Today was a great day for this thread .41 posts so far and the day isn't over . Mark is no longer alone on the first page but Jim 's there as well and we are into 6 pages ! And we even had a visit from our esteemed Scott . Now if Dave and Hans popped in we'd have it made .

[Norayr Hajian]

Could I be third?

[Norayr Hajian]

Yes, that's it. I have the oldest ones first. The oldest will be first and the newest will be last. Sounds fairly biblical.

[Charlotte 'Mercer' Burton]

Hey now! Why are the young'uns last? "Let the little children come unto me?"

[G R 'Scott' Cundiff]

Hey now! Why are the young'uns last? "Let the little children come unto me?"

Yeah, I vote for you Charlotte.

[Charlotte 'Mercer' Burton]

Yeah, I vote for you Charlotte.

I appreciate the support.

[Norayr Hajian]

Like I said, I quit. No more. All done.

[G R 'Scott' Cundiff]

Tell you what, everyone state their best case as to why they should be allowed to have the final post in the thread. I will read your posts and then judge who has earned the right to be last. Everyone will agree that my decision will be final.

I'll then post the decision and that will be it.

Quite reasonable I'd say.

Although, technically, as a moderator, you could just post your decision and close the thread regardless whether we agree to this. How can we trust you?

[Norayr Hajian]

I think I need to go to an NA meeting (Naznet Anonymous).

[Gina Stevenson]

It just goes to show how seriously we take our faith - each one wanting to be last.

But, of course! We're all good little Pharisees around here! ;)


I think Glenda should get the title based off persistance!!

Oh, Tinker! But, she's so, so, soooooooo redundant:

ME! :smilies0150:

See what I mean? ;)


I think I need to go to an NA meeting (Naznet Anonymous).

Yeah, this has been a problem for many years now ... some addictions just will not quit! ;)

[Pauline Chambers]

It's meeeeeee!!!!

[Marsha Lynn]

I think I need to go to an NA meeting (Naznet Anonymous).

The idea of starting a NA chapter has been discussed multiple times over the years, but it hasn't happened. Maybe you can get it off the ground, Norayr. Just let us all know how many dozen times a day we need to check in to keep up with it.

Me, I can quit any time. In fact I'm quitting for sure as soon as this silly contest is finally resolved.

[Marsha Lynn]

I agree. I'm rather disappointed with several who have participated in this thread. It seems as though they could make better use of their time. I suggest everyone show good sense and abandon this thread immediately.

You know, Scott, I have a nagging suspicion that there's something wrong with this suggestion that on the surface looks so sensible ... but I can't quite put my finger on it. How can we be sure you won't simply pick yourself as the winner?

[Joanne Vergin]

I agree with Marsha. But only so's she won't be last for too long. :p

[G R 'Scott' Cundiff]

Okay, I've been thinking about this and I have a solution. If everyone else will do a post promising not to post anymore to this thread I will respond by posting the same promise.

Can anything be more fair and reasonable?

[Marsha Lynn]

You know, Scott, I have a nagging suspicion that there's something wrong with this suggestion that on the surface looks so sensible ... but I can't quite put my finger on it. How can we be sure you won't simply pick yourself as the winner?

BTW, this was supposed to be a response to Scott's suggestion that he pick the winner based on proposals as to why we deserve the honor. I think I got off on the wrong track somewhere.

If I'm at the end of a particular branch of the thread (in the branched view) do I get partial credit?

[Tinker Boyd]

I think it is an excellent idea. I just ask, for the sake of courtesy, that you leave the thread open so we can all congratulate the winner afterwards.

[Susan Unger]

wow...that was a short 15 minutes of fame.

[Norayr Hajian]

Glenda is starting to lose it. She has added "(persistence)" to her comment. I think that means she is on the verge of giving up but wants to remind herself that she needs to carry on - as hopeless as it is.

[Gina Stevenson]

I think it is an excellent idea. I just ask, for the sake of courtesy, that you leave the thread open so we can all congratulate the winner afterwards.

Can't quite figure out, Tinker, how this will work ... after the "last" has been congratulated, unless there's another "congratulatory thread" the last "congratulator" will be the newest "last." But, of course, the previous "last" being congratulated can always return to thank all the congratulators and, thus, once again be "last."


ME! :smilies0150:

(persistence)

Persistence? Redundancy! [why, oh why, do we have to click again beyond "reply" and wait for "go advanced" to give us that dancing banana, et al?] ;) Oh, phooey! That smiley's not enough, so we'll "go advanced ........." and wait ........................ [& wiggle while we wait :smilies0275:]

Makes sense to me. If you want, I'll offer to do the last one to make sure we all have closure.

[G R 'Scott' Cundiff]

Makes sense to me. If you want, I'll offer to do the last one to make sure we all have closure.

Wow, I'm glad that's over. I was getting concerned that my real responsibilities were suffering because of this thread. Now we can all let it go and get on with life.

Ah, the sense of relief.

I guess this is it. Let's all take our hands off the keyboard and savor this moment of serenity.

Aaaah!

[Tinker Boyd]

Good idea Scott! Take that well deserved rest, you have truly earned it!

In case this thread turns out to be lengthy, I just want to say that I don't have to be last. So............Should the rapture happen, I just wanted to let you folks know that it won't bother me a bit if you keep posting on this thread. I thought that it would be considerate for me to let you know this in advance so that you wouldn't worry.

I'm glad I've maintained a dignified position above it all and didn't lower myself into the fray.

[Marg Shurtliff]

All kidding aside , this thread is a delight to read and brings a smile and joy to me every day . The responses are so real to life and some are quite inventive . I think it'd be a shame to close this thread and miss that entertainment value . Thanks to Mark for starting this thread . I do believe he knew how it would evolve . Did I mention I had a friend's father in Northern Ireland that called me "Mark"? Good name there , for sure .

[Tinker Boyd]

Thanks to Mark for starting this thread .

I was just wondering who started this mess. I'm praying for you Mark.

And ... I'm with Marg ... how could we ever close this thread and shut down all this fun? :smilies1722:

(but if it slows down, we might just have to close it -- if only for a few minutes -- to get the worry quotient up a bit ... but it can always be reopened ;))

Oh! Now that you mention it ... I'd been trying to not get into it, b/c I didn't want to look too prolific ... or as if I wasted too much time posting on-line ... so, it seems yours is (to some of us) a veiled attempt at intimidating us from posting, so you can finally be the last, Kevin! ;)
