Yes, but you've got to wait just under 4 years for 11:11:11:11:11:11 - 11 minutes and 11 seconds past 11 on the 11th of November 2011.

Holy crap that's gonna be absolutely orgasmic. And yes, trust me, I've long looked forward to 11/11/11 and 12/12/12. I hadn't thought a ton about the times on those days, but that makes it even better.

Basically, this list was gfoxcook's baby. He will update it once more when he achieves quadralist status (He loves teh greenness :P) and then that will be the end of the list itself. Technically, we who still adore it and the comradeship will still hang around, but no more updates :'(

Very nice summary. You can just call it my vanity update if you like, BTW.

Maybe three years from now one of the admins will put an official pentalist into place or something. Then there'd be no need to mourn no more gfox-made updates. #;-}>

I'm just glad to know my list was loved enough to still be in demand of an update after nearly a year of inactivity.

I used to work for them. Their hygiene practice left a lot to be desired - dragging all of the chilled goods out of the huge fridged and standing the trolleys full of goods in the aisles under the hot air blowers overnight, while 2 guys are expected to break them down and stack them onto the shelves...

phew, I am glad that I didn't buy any chilled goods in Tesco...
However, in Stirling (yes, I think it was in Stirling) there was working that one guy at the cashpoint... he was working so damn slow, I nearly fell asleep. I just wanted to have one single onion and some crisps. But he literally needed 10 minutes to scan them in the bar code scanner.

I do customer service for a company where most of the clients of our services are retail places... that's stressful enough, so I can only imagine what (some? ... most?) retail jobs are like.

That said, there are certain stores I have applied to in the past, and if I ever felt insane for awhile and wanted to work in retail, I'd apply to 'em. Based on sort of a "the better the company is to discerning consumers, the better it must be to work at as a serf" principle... granted, I know that principle... er... more of a hypothesis... has no real grounded basis in fact and is just my own speculation, so... heh. I'd have no real illusions. But it seems like it might have a chance of being true in some cases.

Metallica has a latest album? I thought they went and disappeared forever after the whole insane anti-Napster fit they threw.

HERE I AM, UNCLE SAM.
WHILE YOU POOP... NEED A SCOOP?

@_@

I'd intended to post in more topics than just this one, but anyway mission partway accomplished, at least, to do a bit o' posting this weekend.

I did read a ton of threads from like 10/20 to 11/01, so I'm finally up to November now. I need to make sure to catch up before December gets underway, though... or all that progress will be for naught.

:::bookmarks page 16 for the next time he gets the urge to do some catch-up reading:::

Have a good week, alllllllllllllll! G'night.

I just wanted to have one single onion and some crisps. But he literally needed 10 minutes to scan them in the bar code scanner.

Are these the new Genetically Modified Onions, which grow with the barcode already on view? I'm interested in them, because it would certainly save on the packaging issues.

I worked in Sainsbury's for 5 years and a few months in TESCO. I preferred Sainsbury's and now my girlfriend has got a job there :P

Wait, I've got just under 4 years to brace myself. I've got time for a burger.

Heh heh. We shall wait with baited breath, eh?

I wouldn't say baited breath... more like 'clenched sphincters' :P

Man fat and bum holes do not mix... at least man fat and my bum hole!

It's all about the little things.

NANOSECONDS! PICOSECONDS! HUZZAH!

Oh god.

Kinda like how you might raise your eyebrow if I picked out my fave postcount screenshot and it was 5555 instead of 3600 or something, but I doubt it would upset you. #;-}>

I'd be pretty impressed, as the 5s are awesomeness :P

Yeah, we're just putting down these posts as bait for you to get those last 450 posts. You can take a gfox to the NGBBS, but you cannot make him post -.-

Heh. Indeed. So many days I start trying to catch up on old posts but just end up effectively lurking as I don't end up having time to start my replyings.

Yeah, well, there's plenty of fodder to reply to :P

What's all this TESCO stuff about again? I think one of you guys had mentioned that/explained that to me before, but I've gone and forgotten, being an American and all.

TESCO is effectively bigger than WalMart. WalMart bought ASDA, a chain of supermarkets in the UK, with the 3rd largest Market share. TESCO has roughly twice the share of Sainsburys (2nd) and ASDA put together and they make billions per year.

I once saw a 13 hour clock, and I've also seen clocks ticking backwards. :D

Maybe so, but no matter how many 7s, there'll be half as many 7s possible as 1s in the 11:11:11 11/11/11 stuffs, so... Too bad your fave number isn't 1, eh?

Meh, 7 is better. :P

That would be so fucking awesome. If Saturday and Sunday had 60 hours, that is. But the rest of the week still had 24.

Hahahahahaha! That would be awesome indeed.

Mmmm... extended weekend. EVERY weekend.

And more time to play on the Wii, Guitar Hero, posting in these threads, etc. :)

Ouch...

It took them ages to get the redesign up and there's still some things that need to be finished

YOU'D LIKE THAT, JULY-LOVING 7-HEAD. WOULDNTCHA!

YES I WOULD! LOL CAP LOCKS!

Exactly. But I was talking about for the update. Which will take some additional time past the 10k post day, keep in minds.

Ah yes, that's true.

At the least, but 2-3'd be even better. Give it room to breathe, man. Room to breathe! #;-}>

Alright, fair enough. 2 months sounds fine, but then, updating once every month after that seems OK, yes? Again, that's if I take over and I'm NOT saying I will!

Heh. Well, that's pretty superficial. I meant more in that the person who does it after me, if anyone ever does, doesn't copy all my list stats, the things I mention in the list notes, etc. etc. etc.

Would they copy your classic smiley? #;-}>

Yeah yeah, you punk-asses already had yours, I knows.

Afro_Stud hates Bonfire Night, so I made a flash about him on Bonfire Night. :D

Yes, they are making a new album, but by latest, I mean the last one that was out and not a new album. They made a horrible album called St. Anger which to me is sounds of trash cans being hit for 75 minutes.

I'll need to do a bit of catching up next Monday. I'll be going to London this Friday and won't be back here until Monday evening.

Unfortunately, unlike the classic movies where the bad guys fail in spectacular fashion, this appears to be an evil masterplan thatworks

Works for me. I preferred Sainsbury's when I was in Leeds, because it was the only one of two shops that ever had what I wanted, but Morrisons was about 45 minutes each way by Bus -.- Sainsbury's was a 15-minute bike ride.

Yeah, in sub-zero temperatures, in Leeds.

I can almost feel the sunshine of 10000+ exp points now. Keep on climbing...

I'm off to pick up my lil sister from her flight from Mexico City. Thankfully, the fight to Houston is direct and shouldn't be delayed by any weather-related issues like everywhere from the Sierra Nevada to the Midwest is facing right now, but... there is supposedly a 30-minute traffic-related delay at IAH right now.

Her 6:20 arrival has already been pushed to 6:40, so... I'm hanging around as long as I can so I don't end up spending 1 hour at the airport. If I leave now, I should be waiting outside of Customs at around 6:10, so, I'm about to take off and hope for the best.

In the event of much waiting, I'm bringing my DS + Metroid Prime Pinball and my ZEN mp3 player with 2010 songs on it, so... I should be fine.

But first... before I go...

18650 exp... up to 18660 exp... level up from 41... to 42... ONE OF MY NEW-LEVEL-SYSTEM fave icons!

Huzzah. Here I go... 1.... 2.... 3..... LEVEL UP! 42!!! DOUGLAS ADAMS TIME!

Yea-eah.

See you guys laters on, I'll be hangin' out with my gf and sis a lot Sat and Sun and even Monday after work, but I plan to be by here as well if they're watching a movie I don't wanna or something. Hope you're all having a great weekend!

5 deposits away...

Wouldn't that be cool though? Bill Bailey (Comedian) wants us to grow a kind of wheat with the properties of Velcro, to catch whatever it is that's making the crop circles... but then the object that was making them would hav eto have the corresponding velcro on it, so it is a long shot.

Enough with the freaking commentary. We don't need this shit, as we all managed to keep a lid on it (or add the occasional countdown to the rest of a meaningful post) with our approach to 10k Experience. Get a life.

I know it sounds like the pot calling the kettle black, but seriously, WTF?

Don't know if I want eat something like this... except the bar code would taste excactly like the onion, though ^^.

Easy, just put the corresponding velcro on everything else. Or we should use some special sort of contact glue, so that anything that touches the wheat will get glued down.
Sooner or later the right object will get caught.

Once you cook it, the colour of the barcode would bleed out, so you wouldn't know the difference.

But then you'd get all sorts of crap caught in the fields - flies, birds, foxes, ramblers etc We can't be having with that at all.

By the way, Greg - milinko959 passed 5,000 Reviews over the week - he's gunning to become only the second pentalisted Newgrounder. Will he be able to beat you to 10k posts (and therefore your final pentalist update?)

Well... I'm still sceptic ^^.

Yeah, but at least SOMETHING would be caught, unlike with velcro one wouldn't caught anything (well, unless the object would have the corresponding velcro, which is indeed very unlikely).
