Last person to post wins.

[Aspergirl4hire]

A thoughtful perusal of the OP reveals that it does not specify that the last person to post on this thread wins. superboyian has used some magician misdirection to confuse over 50 posters, including a dedicated core crew of about 9, into looping their own OCD cycles to ensure that superboyian will win the competition for starting the longest-lasting thread ever. In fact, the thread is on its way to becoming a self-sustaining Moebius strip, since it only has one side.

Smiles dreamily.

I award superboyian the highest commendation I have for his achievement:

"Well played, sir."

 

[Flinty]

Well, can't top that. Might as well end the thread now.

 

[zurb]

well said.

Self-portrait?

Self-portrait?

Somewhat stylized.
I am less curvy.

 

[Flinty]

Drat.

Oh, wait...to post...forever.

 

[zurb]

Where do I find the autopost feature. Would come in handy here!

 

[Flinty]

Check your auto.

 

[zurb]

Ahhh, that will be the problem. I haven't got one at the moment.

There can only be one winner. And for the moment, that is me

 

[Vinca]

Did you say me?

 

[tree]

He did say me---and he was being graciously philosophical when
he said it, too. I will give him a reward for that good behavior.
And you should have something nice, too. Here, take your pick...
any or all:

 

[zurb]

Thanks for the shortcake.

 

[Vinca]

Ooooh. Treats! that should keep me busy for a little while. I shall return the favour in the form of 'language'.

"I also relished synonyms – especially those that bring new energy to familiar entities. The variant English terms for icicle – aquabob (Kent), clinkerbell and daggler (Hampshire), cancervell (Exmoor), ickle (Yorkshire), tankle (Durham) and shuckle (Cumbria) – form a tinkling poem of their own. In Northamptonshire and East Anglia “to thaw” is to ungive. The beauty of this variant surely has to do with the paradox of thaw figured as restraint or retention, and the wintry notion that cold, frost and snow might themselves be a form of gift – an addition to the landscape that will in time be subtracted by warmth." Robert Macfarlane.

If I can't win, I can....

When I loose.

 

[zurb]

OK, three hours is long enough.
My turn...
