hikers await matthewski's 6000th post

[mweinstone]

children and there parents camping out for the release of the new harry potter novel were somewhat taken aback by hords of dirty hikers who decended on there campout to await the 6000th posting of hiker guru matthewski.
there is wide speculation he will speak on the findings anounced in congress this month that the correlation between unemployment and high post counts may pose a threat to real hiking.

If called to testify will M admit quilt or no?

[Panzer1]

I think your 6,000 post should be to help some worthy charitable cause.

Search, Copy, Paste all posts into a book. Best seller possibly. :-?

[M1 Thumb]

Didn't I read about this post count attempt on a website? I think it was called The Initiative. Something about trying to do so many posts within a year without using a single capital letter. I don't know how much previous experience the OP has with this kind of posting but best of luck to him.

I'm getting dizzy just thinking about it.

At 6000 Matt will be sucked into a black hole, when he comes out the other side he will be typing in all UPPER CASE. Either that or he will be teaching punctuation at Harvard.:)

[Wise Old Owl]

I will settle for spell check.

I will settle for spell check.

"Spell Check" only works if a word is remotely close to how it may actually be correctly spelled.

I cannot leave the house til my secret smoker stove is finished but I will put on my hiking shorts and knee high gaiters and wait patiently by my computer till the big moment goes down.

[Lone Wolf]

Reading Matty's posts remind me of the following brain test:
I cdnuolt blveiee that I cluod aulaclty uesdnatnrd what I was rdanieg. The phaonmneal pweor of the hmuan mnid, aoccdrnig to a rscheearch at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it dseno't mtaetr in what oerdr the ltteres in a word are, the olny iproamtnt tihng is that the frsit and last ltteer be in the rghit pclae. The rset can be a taotl mses and you can still raed it whotuit a pboerlm. This is bcuseae the huamn mnid deos not raed ervey lteter by istlef, but the word as a wlohe. Azanmig huh? Yaeh and I awlyas tghuhot slpeling was ipmorantt!

[Yukon]

Yeah I thought it might be LW but I wasn't sure...

[Carbo]

24,000+ Jeez, LWolf, that beats Burma Shave. One per mile and it would circle the entire earth!

[Doc Mike]

LW has averaged about 10 posts per day over last 8 years.
If he is hiking some of the time then must be doing a lot of posting on the other days. matties post average is significantly less.

Just an observation

my farmer, who art in devon
give us this day our daily blt
and leed us not into turkey bacon
but deliver us from our thin slices
and forgive us our bi passes
as we forgive the doctors who give them to us
in the name of hording ,and flavor
amen

this prayer was sent to me by a reader in devon pennsylvainia who writes:

Imagine what he could do if he had an iPhone?

BTW, is texting and driving illegal in Virginia?

[Mr. Clean]

So what's it going to be, Matthewski. An observation, a hike, a rant? We are waiting in anticipation. :sun

[Roche]

The 6,000th post will suck all the media attention in the Delaware Valley away from the Phillies' 4 aces. All I ask is that it not interfere with Opening Day.

[Sonno]

A board Admin should go and permanently set his post count to 5999. :D

Nice...In college creative writing class we had one project where we had to write a short story this way and still convey meaning to the reader...good mental exercise.

[Carbo]

If you think of it, stopping at #5999 could turn one into a legend, especially if your last post was something like, "...heading out for a short walk, BRB".

[jerseydave]

I know I haven't been here very long, but I feel as though I'm being set up for a big let down....... A lot of hype with no delivery......

There isn't a way to go from post 5999 directly to post 6001 is there........?

[mweinstone]

miss janet starts her thruhike in the morning! shes up packing now!

[TallShark]

[jerseydave]

Ok..... I was wrong
6000 posts
That's a lot of words

[camojack]

miss janet starts her thruhike in the morning! shes up packing now!
And a worthy 6,000th post it was, too...surprisingly. :clap

[Kerosene]

Hey, it's just typing... :rolleyes:

[Miss Janet]

Matty... you really are the most fluently crazy man I have ever met! I am honored to be the topic of your 6,000th post. Even if it isn't true. :)

[mweinstone]

[mweinstone]

[Old Hillwalker]

Good on ya Matty!
