Thanks you, now I have even less of a clue than before when I had no clue. We see a net solvency turn for the forces of stupidity.

So, when you are on nb main screen - and your username is the one listed next to all 3 main forums as the most recent poster - you have the triple crown.

Sometimes it's fun keeping the new kid in the dark, but I took pity this time...

I heard someone screwed up on the math in the study - they got pluses and minuses mixed up. It turns out that it is a negative correlation - not a positive one.

Now that Brendo interrupted it and I regained it again so quickly, does that count as a second crown?

Learn your eastern religions.

Then there's the triple triple crown. To attain the triple triple crown is to understand there is no enlightenment.

Jed.. I think that got messed up when you asked only tripple crown holders -- we are more attractive to ourselves... and, perhaps (at least in my case) to the frequent poster sleeping in the other room...

Stop trying to feel special just because you have it at 2:00 in the morning. It's only midnight, here :P

I miss the midwest. I grew up in Des Moines and Sioux Falls. We could see the stars...

I think there's something deeply wrong when a society can no longer see stars. I think that's the beginning of the sickness.

I tend to agree... there is something about an artificial environment that de-humanizes us in some basic way. My mom lives up near Canada in MN, and one night we were driving to her house and she made me stop the car in the middle of the woods and turn off the lights and engine... it was so dark and so quiet it was amazing -- and the sheer number of stars was incredible.

We can also see the Northern Lights up there with some frequency...

no.. it is about who is the biggest geek on the board... when you have the most recent posts in all three categories, you can then post here to claim your "tripple crown"... (i.e. posting in the other two and then here to achieve the third does not count).

Not mine.

Absolutely nothing that I wish to talk about in pre-fiat. Distressed me, b/c I was wanting to go for the first post npda 2004 nb triple crown.

Its mine, and you're right, we need a good debate in Points of Reality (I refuse to call it by that johnny-come-lately Pre-fiat forum name) to make the triple crown more accessible to the masses. Stannard, where are you, I need to borrow your commie skepticism about American foreign policy for a minute

Hey, did I just get a triple crown? By accident? Huh. Go figure. I suppose that's the natural result of threads on electoral politics, Civil War jokes, and the Blues Brothers. It's like a little perfect storm of David's geek crap. I suppose it could be worse. If someone starts threads on Tolkien, Star Wars, inherency in parli, college football, legal reasoning, Neil Gaiman, and geocaching, then you can probably retire this thing.
