Guys, looks like I've run out of any more ideas!

Hey guys,

I seem to have developed some kinda mental block....I don't even know what to post next.

I'm sitting here thinking and thinking of which topic I should start up, but I keep running into a brick wall!!

And, to top it all, it's a Friday morning for me....and I'm still at a loss for words. While some of you must be surely relieved about this, I find it very depressing that something like this should be happening to me.

JJ

How about posting another "Poll"
Let's see,
- "What should JJ use to Smack his head with today?"
or
-"Should JJ consider trading in Yammy for a ________?"
or
"Do you think JJ should take a computer course, so he can learn the basics?"

JJ, no worries mate! With 11.5 K posts under you belt you have done more then your share. OK, 11.4 K of those post were utter non sense but you gave it all your best! Wait, what do I hear? A collective sigh of relief from forum members all over the world: JJ will keep quit for a few days.

What I want to know is, how does one submit 11,500 posts in a lifetime? Did he start at the dawn of the computer age? Was he three years old? Did he use multiple computers at the same time? Are there MANY JJs around, like in a sweatshop, dutifully typing out posts to TRF? Is he really an alien with "Warp Post" technology??? These are questions that must be answered!

LOL

Would you believe it if I said I joined here last May, but came back in full swing in June...so it's actually been only 10 months now. My secret is to reply to each and every post....and then post some crazy ones of my own too!! Simple, uh?

JJ is an AI experiment. ‘He’ is a computer program that is able to react to input given by other forum members. The program is run on a cluster of IBM Blue Gene computers. The number of ‘JJ’ posts per day has reached it’s maximum now, anymore and we’ll become suspicious. His own ‘crazy’ post as ‘JJ’ describes it, is the special algorithm that kicks in if the operators want to let us believe he’s a real person. I started to have my doubts 3 months ago. You can all read from his posts over the past few days there’s a bug in the program.

This has happened before. And I can tell you that it means one of his watches is about to get flipped. Then he can start the process of photos and claims of it being the ultimate Rolex all over again.

As sure as the sun comes up every morning, JJ will flip one of his watches to start his 'season' all over again.

Well lets see... there were the two previous Subs, the TT blue Sub, the GMT, the white ExpII, the black ExpII, the DJs, the SD...

All of which you described as beauties, so um... yeah. The Yammys days are numbered. It has to be about a year since you got it right. Time for a flip...

Yes sir, it does. Over our PBS (Public Broadcasting System) and BBC America. But I have the DVDs as well. We are HUGE fans of British Comedy - Are You Being Served?; Dad's Army; Fawlty Towers; The Darling Buds of May; and on and on...

Oh yeah, I forgot Black Adder...

"His great-grandfather was a king,
Although for only thirty seconds.
When put in charge of beheading,
He felt that fame and glory beckoned.
Black Adder, Black Adder, no such blooming luck.
Black Adder, Black Adder, Elizabethan shmuck.
Black Adder, Black Adder, nothing goes as planned.
Black Adder, Black Adder, life deals him a bum hand."


LOL

Yes, we don't all walk along the street with our knuckles dragging on the ground!
