D3 Championship Belt

[Ralph Turner]

I think that the thread was locked.  I remember the "hourglass" almost converging.

[Gregory Sager]

I think that the thread was locked.  I remember the "hourglass" almost converging.

... which means that, once Pat finds out that we've unlocked his locked thread, we're all going to be put on double secret probation.

[smedindy]

I don't think there's a problem with copying a locked thread. It also looks like it's been truncated from what I recall. Or that may just be the Blue Cheer record I just listened ('sittin' over hear on the parchman farm', Mose Allison turned to volume level 15).

Luckily Pat hates the belt thread so much he refuses to acknowledge it exists.

[Ryan Scott (Hoops Fan)]

You know, someone is now going to have to quote the quote pyramid so everyone else knows what we're talking about.

Has the quote pyramid been deleted?

I don't even remember what thread it was on.

Is this what you speak of? Its so shiny, I cant take my eyes off of it...

Everyone's a smart aleck today. Too much time spent in front of the computer, boys! Go out and get some fresh air!

Wheaton beats North Central 77-66 behind Kent Raymonds 36 pts.

#4 Wheaton takes on #20 Elmhurst tomorrow night for the CCIW championship.

No ... Wheaton takes on Elmhurst tomorrow night for the CCIW tournament championship.

Wheaton is already the 2008-09 CCIW champion.

I knew soon as I posted that statement that someone would call me on it. Just wanted to see who it would be.

Aw, c'mon - if you've been paying attention at all, you knew it would be Greg!

Sager's my name, nitpicking is my game.

Mr. Y,
You're right of course. Greg was high on the list. But you were a close 2nd!!

Greg did recently call me Sancho Panza (for a slam on the "It's tough to beat a team three times" cliche'); I rebuff the role unless I can replace the donkey with a real horse.

If he called you Sancho Panza then  he's going to call me the donkey because I used that cliche tonight (actually 12:44 AM this morning) over on the SUNYAC board. I should be granted some leeway though as I was responding to a poster who used it in his post.

The donkey is a noble and intelligent animal that gets a lot of bad press, but where would civilization be without him? He's the distributing point guard of the family Equidae.

Greg, How did you know that I was a point guard? It was over 40 years ago.

I have nothing to say here, I just wanted to get in on what might be a record multi-quote.

I don't think this is near the record

Not yet, but I sense promise.

This is just starting by LLPP standards!   

Ok Ralph, you got me. Pardon my lack of knowledge but what is LLPP. My best guess would be LIberty League Poster's Poll, but that doesn't exist.

LLPP = Liberty League Post Patterns,  the football message board for the Liberty League. You must 18 years of age to go there.   

... and absolutely no one will be seated during the shocking final five minutes of whatever video they've linked to last in there.

P.S. Thanks, Darryl, for all of the fine work you've done by picking up the reins from DC and charting the Top 25 this season! It's been greatly appreciated.

Since I'm a one sport poster, I don't count the football boards.

This makes 18 quotes

Now you're just being silly.

Just now?   I somehow don't feel alone.

It's like an overhead shot of a Babylonian ziggurat.

You know full well they were never this tall.

OK, then ... an Assyrian ziggurat.

While the jagged steps don't fit, the dimensions strike me more as North American 'Mound Builders'.

Perhaps you are all just "Building a Mystery"...Sarah McLachlan, 1997

Mound Builders? Nah. Mayan pyramid, maybe.

Would that mean that magicman would be our human sacrifice, way up at the very top level?

Greg, please, This is my 5th reincarnation. I was already sacrificed when Cortez came over in the 16th century. It didn't work then and won't work now.  

So that is your problem.  If you had done it "right", you would have ended up as a CCIW fan in this incarnation! 

I could handle that. But I was the stabbee not the stabber. Not my fault Montezuma II got it wrong.

Don't sweat it. In his next reincarnation I'm sure that Montezuma II came back as someone who drank the local water and got violently ill.

Now we're gonna have to continue this.  I want to test the theory that if the vertical bars ever meet, the internet will suffer a clot and stroke out.

And speaking of problems--How does a post in this grouping completely disappear? When Ralph explained what the LLPP was I responded, "2 1/2 out of 4 ain't bad" on page 306 reply #4576. It's nowhere to be found in the quotes. I notice Greg responded right after I did. I think he used his "special powers" to delete it  just to mess with my mind.   

PointSpecial, I just discovered that fact. When I posted my last post it didn't show a couple of replies so I deleted it and reposted, but you had already replied with your explanation. So now your explanation is before my question. Whew! If you can follow that.   

That makes my head hurt even more than looking at the ziggurat does.

That was my goal! After all it was your self professed nitpicking that started all this in response to 1 teensy tiny error(uh check that, deliberate error) on my part. And you did leave off a quote that did mess with my mind.

If we keep this up we can just call it Egyptian.

... hey, I think I got skipped!  Oh well.

I'm going to dare to go back on topic... (sorry...) but is there another top 25 before the end of the tournament, or is there just one more, after the NCAA tournament is over?

PointSpecial, it's my fault you got skipped. You ended up in the aether
And since my post started all this. I'm going to be the one to end it. Sure did make long pages though.

End what?

Sorry, I couldn't let it stop at 39 quotes, this makes 40.

Do you have something against numbers divisible by 13?

Yeah, I'm petty sure saying you're going to end it will only ensure it's continued life.

Hey, we've come this far - we have GOT to find out what happens when the vertical lines meet in the center!  Can they actually cross?  Will the internet implode?

Enquiring minds want to know!

Great find!

I can't recall why I had the very last entry - did Pat lock it after that?  Fearing, perhaps, that if THAT 'belt' ever reached a dot, his servers might explode?

Now that I think of it, did THAT belt give spawn to The Belt^TM??

This is absolutely one of the greatest things I've ever been a part of.

[sac]

What have I done. 

[sac]

The Legal Weasal^TM may have to file an injunction to stop the quoting of the quote pyramid^TM.   Clearly there cannot be two objects of such lustrous quality in the same thread.  This has to be violation of trademark law........or supersweetness anyway.

[diehardfan]

What have I done. 

I totally miss my editing privilages. I can't even edit my own posts.

You'd think so.  I think at some point the system automatically removes posts or something.  I remember the pyramid being much longer.

[Mr. Ypsi]

Fear not, kb, Pat is not about to let us re-open the 'real' pyramid (something about the 'curse of Tutenkhamun' I believe.)

Greg, those of us who know and value you were not in the LEAST surprised by your donkey contribution!

sac, rekindled great memories - be proud!

[Ralph Turner]

I think that the thread was locked.  I remember the "hourglass" almost converging.

... which means that, once Pat finds out that we've unlocked his locked thread, we're all going to be put on double secret probation.

I am innocent!
