Web Pentalist Mark XXXVII is uploaded and available.
Down from three to two to only one new member this week (but hey, it's still been like 7 or 8 straight updates with at LEAST one newbie, and that is teh awesome. This week's "newbie" is a doozy: NEWGRUNDLING. No wonder he's been posting in the topic on this page. #;-}>
So yes, welcome (back) to one of the NG stat legends, NGling. I never would have guessed, back in the day, that POSTS would be the stat in addition to blams that'd get him here. I dunno, I always saw him going the exp or saves route like the rest of us "don't post or review as much as we get the exp/b/p stats" guys (you know, most of us 3x10kers have exp/blams/saves over 10k, as an example of that phenomenon). BUT ANYWHO...
In much sadder news, I failed to break 100 points for probably the first time EVER in the history of my pentalist/quadlist/triplelist updates. Only 70... meaning no posts, reviews, blams, OR saves. Just my weekly 70 exp. A new era has INDEED begun.
Of course, if we added in the (few, but still SOMEthing) b/p that a certain gfoxclock has been gaining over the past few weeks.... heh.
Oh, and before I keep rambling: Denvish is teh TRIPLENESSEDED. Congrats to him (following in the path of the BonusStage... whodathunkit?)!
And congrats to the White Sox for having a hell of a team. I rather enjoyed game 1 of the World Series despite my team losing it (I'm actually much more upset that Clemens' injuries are popping up again and he came out after 50+ pitches in just TWO FREAKING INNINGS than I am about the loss as a whole).
It was just a surreal experience to watch my team, a team that has been around for decades longer than me and never played in a single damned World Series game, despite being SO FREAKING CLOSE in 1980, 1986, and 2004... finally finally get there and play in one.
That was awesome. #;-}>
(NOW LET'S WIN GAME 2, ASTROS!!!!!!!!!!!!)
Oh... and hey, I never even celebrated the Astros winning the National League in here, now did I... :::channeling my feelings from 10/19/2005, the best Wednesday night EVAR:::
YES!!! ASTROS DEFEAT THE CARDINALS!!! REVENGE FOR THE HORRIBLE BULLPEN-INDUCED LOSSES IN THE 2004 NLCS! REVENGE FOR ALL THOSE YEARS THE CARDS HELD US DOWN IN THE REGULAR SEASON, TOO! ASTROS WIN THE NL PENNANT FOR THE FIRST TIME IN FREAKING FOREVER. Wowza.
There, that'll do it for the baseball (FOR NOW #;-}>)...
Enjoy the list update, folks. Here comes the updated list leapers' chart:
