Subject: As I was going to St. Ives...
I was gonna post this yesterday, but I got into a duel instead... ::)
A mini quiz:
How many board members were virtually taken to the original endless addition picnic? (count carefully, and watch for psuedonyms)
Extra credit: Which board member was taken twice?
Extra extra credit if you can identify them all in order! ;D
Subject: Re: As I was going to St. Ives...
Nobody can count?
C'mon people, the winner gets an all expense paid vacation to Siberia with Virtual Madeline!
Subject: Re: As I was going to St. Ives...
It not that I can't count. It's that I can't count a bunch of items without getting a migrane. :(
Quoting:
Nobody can count?

You don't have to count a 'bunch' of items. You just have to go to the last official post to the picnic thread and skim thru.... :)
Subject: Re: As I was going to St. Ives...
A challenge !
I believe this is the answer :
How many were TAKEN : Six
And they were :
Southern Spitfire
Goldie
Jonman (as moseman)
Zella (which is interesting in itself, as Zella was the one going to the pinic in the first place)
Rice Cube
and Bobo (who just made it before the picnic got cancelled)
So, are you (Zella) the double up that you were referring to ?
I say six because there were many more mentioned, but not directly as going to the picnic....
They were :
Mystery Woman (twice)
Zella (four times)
Crazy Don (four times)
Grendle
SuperFreak (twice)
Hairspray
Jonman
RiceCube
Thunder Vamp 9
Banasy (twice)
Scaryfast
Union Jack
RockNRollFan
Indy Gent
FussBudgetVanPelt

Boy oh boy, Fussy, your list doesn't match mine at all. You are correct in not including persons who were only mentioned, but anyone who attended had to have been "taken" by whichever board member submitted the name, and I have more of those than you. You have also omitted all mention of three members who were definitely there, including the one who went twice....
Try again! Madeline is waiting! ;)

Subject: Re: As I was going to St. Ives...
You mixed up your Zaxes -- they will come after you with jarts for that misrepresentation.... :o
Better, but I still have three more attendees, two of them may have taken themselves; how you missed the other, I don't know... ::)
