I want 100 repsonses, damnit!
Every other blog I've ever been on has gotten at least 100 responses
to a certain topic.
Clue: You have 3 guesses as to what the topic is...
the first 2 don't count.
Anyway, I want us to top that score, for no reason at all!
So, give us 108, spave...or you're all a bunch a blog wimps!
Much love,
Owl.

Right, Poly, the topic is anything it takes to get 100 responses...fast! Before this post drops off the bottom of the list.
As to the topic of the other blogs that get 100 responses, it is always very specific. Not general like this one.
Owl...why the urge...no...obsession of 100 posts?
Do you need to go on Dr. Phil's show?
I think I have it narrowed down to 2 topics, which essentially could be the same topic... I think it might have a little something to do with the conflicts between "science" and "religion". Am I right owl?
Or maybe its is our current concerns with the love triangle between Brad, Jen, and Angelina.
Maybe it's a debate over whether Jessica Simpson and Nick Lachey will get a divorce?
Spin is warmer than Skogg.
Obsess is what I do Skogg.
It's a good and a bad thing.
It comes with having a brain.
...something Dr. Phil wouldn't
know a damn thing about.
Any other ideas?
I say it’s either evolution verses Creationism... or what ever it is that they are calling it now. Or the ever present abortion/fetus/stem cell argument.
Maybe it isn’t an argument at all. Maybe its something everyone agrees on, like how good cookies are.
"Spin is closer than Skog."
Well Spin referred to a love triangle. Is that what the topic is about?
...well, sort of, I guess...
But do notice Skogg, I didn't write "closer" I wrote "warmer".
Spin, he new name for "Creationism" is "Intelligent Design." It gets shortened to ID, which has some very interesting Freudian overtones, don't you think?
Especially as they apply to the layered brain model.
How many of you know what I'm talking about here? Anyone...anyone...anyone?
Sorry Owl,
I dont know what you are talking about. Do you Skog?
As a rule of thumb, I never admit to knowing what Owl is talking about...even when I do know what he's talking about, which I don't.
I dont know how he thinks this post is going to get to 100 Helens if he doesnt check in once and a while!
Well it doesn't have to happen in one day! And obviously, I can cheat this and type all 100 in myself.
But "myself" is not who I'm challenging here, fair ladies, not is it the two of you dear hearts. It's the rest of the blog slugs around here.
Anyone...anyone...anyone...?
Above... "not" should be "nor".
So stack me!
I know this is helping you reach your goal, but I want to comment that I believe you won't reach 100 posts.
Skog! I have a new Mix for you! you might die!
... or atleast thats what I'm going for.
Not that I want you dead. I just want to make a mix that could kill.
A killer mix? The last one was DAMN good.
What's the theme of this one?
80's softer rock. The requirement to get on this mix? It totaly has to crack me up to listen to it.
Hope you like Starship!
Nice positive attitude Skogg.
I, on the other hand, believe in the spave,
the very plave where wishes come true. And
I will continue to believe in the spave plave,
even if 100 never comes. I am steadfast
in this.
Owl, do you still have a secret topic we are supposed to be figuring out. Have you given up on that? Have we given up on that? Should we keep guessing?
Owl,
Check it out. We posted within 10 seconds of each other.
The topic was never secret, Spin. I thought it was obvious. That's why I said the first two guesses don't count. How many guesses have you made?
What's your final answer?
By the way, that's not the topic of this thread, that's the topic of other threads that routinely hit 100. I want this thread to hit 100 without having to discuss that topic, or any other specific topic. Kind of like what Polyman said. Can it happen?
Far out Spinfly. I wonder how often that happens!
I like the idea of an open spave to say what ever you want. No topic, I say!
I totaly knew Toad was going to do that.
A no topic spave? It's like an online Seinfeld episode.
I can't wait to hear this new CD. Starship rocks.
Marconi plays the mamba.
Listen to the radio.
Don't you remember.
We built this city
Dah dah
We built this city on ROCK AND ROLL
They also sang the beloved ballad "Sara."
And White Rabbit.
what did Toad do, spin?
Here is a random thought.
I heard an interview on the Diane Rehm Show late last night with Rick Santorum that was bone-chillingly scary. He's young, good looking, extremely pesuasive and smooth. He is also an ultra conservative. YIKIES! No wonder ID is making ground.
...and it looks like we will miss the Perseid meteor showers again this year. Dang clouds (wait, I can't say that, I'm a gardener.)
Yup, ID is pretty seductive to the spiritually inclined.
I fight it myself.
My inspiration is Steven Hawking.
He says he's looked as hard as he can throughout the universe (and I believe him) and he's just not finding any job for God to do, as far as the physical nature of things is concerned. The forces science have identified cover it. No need for any special secret sauce.
We could have a little conversation about Iraq or email spam, or the MISSING DUCKS!
Wow, 2 posts within a second of each other....cool.
2 seconds! Wow! Synchronicity!
...I was going to say:
But when it comes to "consciousness".
Now, that's another different subject entirely!
...gotta go home now. back later....
...me too...gotta see what wonders the rain brought on.
Ok, here's a "syncronicity" contest. The challenge will be that we count to five and see if we can keep the numbers in order. Only one person per number.
(i.e. you can tyoe "1" but not "1,2" etc.) Let's see first of all if we can get the numbers to show up in order. And second, if we can do it in the time frame of ten seconds. The record to beat between posts, by the way is mine and ethunks at 2 seconds apart. Let's get tgether tomorrow sometime and see who wants to play.
I'm quite impressed that this went from 17 (last time I checked) to 41. Way to go team! We may just do it.
Am I one of the "blog slugs" you refer to popski? Best put away the salt.
Thanks Polyman. We'll get there. We have lots of time before this thing drops off the bottom of the list.
I'm trusting "the force" here. Good job!
Chop, no you are not a blog slug. You're part of the 100 team. Good to see you at the Playzow wedns.
Keep up the good work!
By the way, I just posted the 100th comment to this thread on the Mt. Blogmore blog. I want to call your attention to post #97. It pretty much explains everything, at least to me. The religious right doesn't want to win this argument, they want to lose. They're counting on losing. It will help bring on the rapture and the end of days. I'm pretty sure now that this is what it's all about as far as they're concerned. We should all discuss this sometime. Check it out!

I miss Chop saying "HERE COMES TWO!"
Wow...Owl...you're already over half way to 100!
New topic: Why do we park on a driveway and drive on a parkway? Discuss...
I won't be around much today. Duty calls. Go ahead and do that 1,2,3,4,5 thing without me. Good luck! I'll check in later this p.m. 54 so far! Not bad!
...and why do we live at the mercy
of a town inside a beltway?
Owl,
Were you behinde the switching of the blastocyst?
Nope. You mean the fact that it was a cow?
Nope. That was pure Toad. A fiedish plan.
I myself would never stoop to such a thing
(...mostly because I wouldn't have been clever
enough to think of it!)
Not a lot of action here today, blog slugs...
Better get with the program! Clock's tickin'!
I knew that he was going to do that as soon as I read the first post. (or at least I hoped thats what he was going to do)
1
2
3.14
4
8
4-7-8-9?
I didnt think you would stop at 5!
That doesn't explain the 4.
If we ever start a band, the drummer's intro count is going to be "4-7-8-9"
Then an uncomfortable silence will follow when we all count "5-6-7-8" in our heads.
Then we'll jam out, in, on, under, over and beyond.
Yes. And beyond.
I was trying to fit into your schedule. By the time I typed the 4, you had already gotten to 5, I thought you would go to 10 and that you were already typing the 6, so I skipped to 7.
Look, 2 seconds... thats the closest yet.
It's because we're identical online British twins.
Or at least, that's the angle I am going to play.
I'm 15 for a moment
Caught in between 10 and 20
And I'm just dreaming
Counting the ways to where you are
I'm 22 for a moment
She feels better than ever
And we're on fire
Making our way back from Mars
15 there's still time for you
Time to buy and time to lose
15, there's never a wish better than this
When you only got 100 years to live
I'm 33 for a moment
Still the man, but you see I'm a they
A kid on the way
A family on my mind
I'm 45 for a moment
The sea is high
And I'm heading into a crisis
Chasing the years of my life
15 there's still time for you
Time to buy, Time to lose yourself
Within a morning star
15 I'm all right with you
15, there's never a wish better than this
When you only got 100 years to live
Half time goes by
Suddenly you’re wise
Another blink of an eye
67 is gone
The sun is getting high
We're moving on...
I'm 99 for a moment
Dying for just another moment
And I'm just dreaming
Counting the ways to where you are
15 there's still time for you
22 I feel her too
33 you’re on your way
Every day's a new day...
15 there's still time for you
Time to buy and time to choose
Hey 15, there's never a wish better than this
When you only got 100 years to live
I'm going with a "100" theme, since it looks like it just might happen.
Nicely done ladies!
Nicely done indeed.
Syncronicity strikes again!
Twice in two days.
I wonder if it's even possible to get closer than 2 seconds. Should be. Should be possible to hit it right on the button, right?
Now that's worth shootin' for!
I am now listening to that song.
I like "Five for Fighting." I saw them at First Avenue in Minneapolis. Darn good albums and darn good live as well.
Hey Skog!
When do you want your new mix?
What a good idea Skoogle. Here are a couple more celebrations of 100...Time Magazine's 100 most remarkable people and Technorati.com's 100 most popular blogs
Here is NPR's 100 most important American musical works of the 20th century. Scroll down to the alphabetical listing, take a listen. The audio streams are long and rich.
Polyman, you are a champ.
Ethunk, the 100 links are way cool.
Skogg, do you "beiieve" in 100 yet?
Seems like it.
Spin, you knew this would happen too, right?
There's no need to rush, folks.
The force is with us.
I see that "Wonkette" is #20 on the list of popular blogs. Any of you ever go there. The Mt. Blogmore folks refer to it from time to time and I've gon over there once in a while, but I didn't realize it was such a big deal. I'm not sure how her blog works though. I don't really spend much time there.
The list of 100 "most important "songs is pretty interesting and eclectic. I wonder what their critera was? I just listened to the "Body and Soul" / Coleman Hawkins piece on the list. I like how they give you the history and the cultural context for it.
I didn't see if Tambourine Man was on there Skogg, but there were some other Dylan songs. And some Hendrix, James Taylor and Paul Simon, not to mention Robert Johnson and Muddy Waters. Very cool plave, that list.
Thanks again,ThunkE.
10 to go kids. Here's one of my fave tunes that perfectly expresses my attitude about that fact.
Anybody know who wrote it? Anybody love this song as much as I do?

I had the blues, so bad one time
it put my face in a permanent frown
You know I'm feeling so much better,
I could cakewalk into town
Honey, I woke up this mornin' feelin' so good,
you know I laid back down again
Throw your big leg over me mama,
I might not feel this good again
My baby, my baby, I do love the way she walks
And when my woman gets sleepy,
I love the way she baby-talks
My work is getting scarce, oh baby,
my work it done got hard,
I spend my whole day stealin' chickens Honey
from the rich folks yard
I would love to take a picnic
in the country and stay all day
I wouldn't do nothing but
while my blues away
I had the blues so bad one time
it put my face in a permanent frown
You know I'm feelin' so much better
I could cakewalk into town

Ok, let's cakewalk those last ten post post right in here now chil'ren. Come owwwwn!
Oh, and Spin, when we do, maybe you can post this tune up as an MP3 so everyone can hear it.
Love to all, Owl.
...I believe it was the Taj that wrote that tune...right Owl?
Das right. Ethunk!
Should be on 'at
100 list don'cha thank?
Ummm, hmm.
'S a mighty fahn tune, y'awl.
(Pass me dem collar' greens now, chile.)
We are getting close.
(Blatent cheat to state what's going on, and thusly get us that much closer)
Now we are even closer.
Yay!
Chop, no need to "cheat" ..although it's nice to hear from you, and sample your immense integrity.
Love,
Owl (Dad)
p.s. Chop, tell us what you think the meaning of life is.
...or, eschewing that, who is your current love flame?
Remember, spavecavers, the target is 108. The "usuals" have done more than their fair share here, so belly up and run it down all you lurkers and blog slugs.
There's 13 post left to go. Jump in any time!
By the way, what an interesting bunch of things happened, huh? I tell ya, for not being about anything – and refusing to be about one certain thing – we sure have talked about a lot of things on this thread. Cool stuff. Thanks all!
I want to do it!!!!! I want to do it!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks for waiting for me, I really wanted to be 100! I haven’t been to the computer all weekend but I heard it was at 96 yesterday, and I got nervous.
Bring on the marching band, and the elephants.
Bum Baaa Baaahhhh!
Ta Dahhhhh!!!!!
Spinny, you are the best!
And most courageous of us all!
Stomp out with that bear and play the Cakewalk song, darlin'!
Let's you an' me cakewalk sometime soon, ok?
(...by the way, does anyone among us really know how to do a righteous Cakewalk?)
...I don't but right after I read your lyrics post I had a great time imagining each of us walking like a cat (that cat would be the famous Billy, of course)...quite entertaining.
I think maybe the cakewalk is the one where you bring the knees up high and put the left foot right, then the right foot right left, stickin yo' legs way out, elbows high, head back. mouth open, head shakin', laughin', one finger pointin' up, crossin over from side to side, ass stickin' out, every step 'o the way. That's how I'm gonna do it anyway. Um Hmm.
yep, that's the billywalk.
I don't walk like a cat...but I would walk like a robot cat.
Owl, how is a "repsonse" different from a "response?"
...inquiring Skoggles want to know.
DAMNIT! FINE! DON'T ANSWER.
There...108.
Owl must have had important stuff to do today.
Skoogle...how, exactly does that robot catwalk go?
Owl was at Standing Rock Reservation today, doing important stuff indeed. Such lovely folks. They break my heart, every time I see them. I can't believe they have to deal with the crap they deal with. What an honor to get to work with them on their stuff! They want puppets. Let's talk Ethunk.
I know someone who makes puppets.
I know someone who has worked extensively on the Rock with puppets.
Hummm.
Hmmm indeed. Looks like the Skog tried to stack me today... pity I missed it...
Too late now to repspond, huh?
It's never too late. Your goal was 108 comments. A goal isn't the end, it's only a mountain peak of glory on the long hike of life.
Write that down.
Yay, Flicky!!!!
Glad to see you on the Massive
"a mountain peak of glory on the long hike of life"
Yeah, that is pretty good.
Reminds me of one of my
high school romances.
BTW Skog, that seeming non-response
was a repsponse. Didn't you notice?
Did you just now?
