Whoo-Hoo! I did it. I accomplished a major goal in my life.

Free Republic Post ^ | today | Rodney King

[Rodney King]

I did it!!! For years I have been tying to post an article during normal freeping hours that nobody would comment on for over an hour. It is quite a challenge really. FR has a wide range of interests, and if an article is too weird, then people will comment on its weirdness. Anyway, every few weeks I have been trying to find an article just so totally boring that there would be no reason for anyone to comment on it, and at the same time not be too weird as to merit a comment based on its weirdness. I finally found one and posted it at the above link. It is so boring and useless that not even I have made it all the way through it.

[Rodney King]

Thanks for not commenting everybody! I can now devote my life towards a more productive goal, like figuring out why the Europeans believe so much in metric length and volume measurements, yet not metric time.

[Blzbba]

Truly, that was, indeed, a snoozer of an article.

Congratulations, Rodney. May you continue to reach such lofty goals as these.

[Mr. K]

[Frank_Discussion]

Why can't you just get along?

[Finger Monkey]

Congratulations. You should be proud.

Nice screen name, by the way.

[Rodney King]

Thanks.

When I noticed that thread earlier I thought the title read "Heart in hand, Monica reminisces" and since I've lost all interest in Lewinsky threads, I passed.

Rodney, you suck.

[Feiny]

May you always reach the low goals you set for yourself.

[mdittmar]

Congratulations;)

That some achieve great success, is proof to all that others can achieve it as well.

It was a great article. I liked it better than "Cats".

[newgeezer]

As of this moment, "goofy" has a new name.

Rule Three -- Set Goals that are measurable ridiculously easy to achieve.

[Argh]

I'm IGNORING both threads.

[jdm]

We need to raise the bar. Case in point: I remember posting 2 different articles during normal freeping hours, having not received any replies in more than 90 minutes.

[Truth29]

Gak. That was awful. You could have a future as a spy. The perfect blend of off white wall paint and ennui (Plus I am suspicious of your claim - no comments for 1 hour and 20 minutes and then 4 seconds apart.

[Always Right]

I almost commented, but I refuse to comment on posts which end in the word 'luminous'.

[Zacs Mom]

Z-z-z-z-z-z-z-z-z-z....

[areafiftyone]

ROFLMAO!!!

[Rodney King]

Does that dog have a boner?

[girlscout]

Ditto

[Kenny Bunkport]

...due to a full bladder, no doubt.

[The Spirit Of Allegiance]

Wow. When we first met, I figured you didn't have any lifetime goals.

Looks like I was right.

[Finger Monkey]

What? What did I miss? What? I was away for mere seconds?

[Finger Monkey]

oh my gosh, that phot is hilarious.

[EternalVigilance]

Someone oughta beat you up again!

;-)

[Finger Monkey]

My goodness, if he does, I feel very sorry for him.

[South Hawthorne]

Even though someone took some unflattering shots at you with the keywords, I must congratulate you on this momentous occasion.

"For years I have been tying to post an article during normal freeping hours that nobody would comment on for over an hour."

Very suspicious. The kitties are watching, waiting. Why would someone want to do that they are asking each other.

[Finger Monkey]

Maybe he just has an outie.

[Finger Monkey]

Dood, people are trashing you in the keywords. Perhaps you should add some in your defense.

[Rodney King]

Even though someone took some unflattering shots at you with the keywords,

Thats ok, they are just jealous that I am the boss while they sit in little cubicles and can't do fun stuff.

I must congratulate you on this momentous occasion.

Thanks

I agree, it could be suspicious, but, we all need to have goals, no matter how stupid they may appear to others. My kitty is available should this turn ugly.

This is an interesting point in and of itself.  Normal FReeping hours for me are Monday through Friday 9ish to 4:30ish.  90% of the FReepers I know are on durring these times.  Some of my FRiends from the West Coast check in later, but that's it. 

The rare times I FReep durring the night and weekends it's a totally different crew and they seem strange and weird to me. 

 

(Sam and JRBC, please congratulate Rodney on this most momentous of occasions!)

LOL - I was reading through the keywords. I suspect that some kitties have added their opinions.

" I have been tying to post an article during normal freeping hours that nobody would comment on for over an hour."

You're kidding. I have at least one of those a day. I had one with 716 views and zero posts. (Now, top that!)

[Jersey Republican Biker Chick]

Congrats Rodney. You have strange goals, but at least you are striving to meet them.

[Deaf Smith]

Is this equivalent to publishing a book that no one buys?

[Zacs Mom]

If so it would be the most interesting aspect of this thread!

;^)

[Michael Barnes]

Man, your picking up some serious keywords..

[Finger Monkey]

weekends it's a totally different crew and they seem strange and weird to me.

Ouch. I resent that.

We don't bite.

Not much.

I like the weekends, then I can wreak havoc. I am somewhat restrained at work, not wanting to attract to much attention to myself by wetting my pants.

I would say you should stive to a more loftier FRname but then I would miss you.

I've considered it, but I don't want to lose my March 99 sign-up date.
