<p>LOL - SLUMOM now stirring it up… “Poetgrl must have deleted her post” - well played, well played</p>

<p>Great play, SluMom! The link actually should have gone to page 17 (the above post links to page 7):</p>

<p>As kawt noted in the prestigiosity thread , we nicely hijacked it, and have this thread (and Roger’s original thread that ironically no one is posting in any longer) to play in. Is it a good idea to subtly move this silliness into other threads, especially legit threads that have the audacity to actualy discuss college issues? Would hate for our little fun to inadvertently interfere with or disrupt the regular threads. Now, if an “agree with poetgrl” post is dropped into a “chance me” thread or a snarky food fight thread, that might be less of a concern. But in threads with true college discussions occurring, not so much. Would hate for us to get shut down, so am thinking we should contain the game, as it were. JMO, and of course YMMV.</p>
<p>Question was asked in another thread, but is off topic, so am responding here-- YMMV = your mileage may vary.</p>
<p><strong>ETA</strong></p>
<p>Sorry to be a Debbie Downer, but it might be best to reserve the recruitment strategy that involves potentially confusing other posters to the kind of thread that deserves to be subverted! Again, JMO (speaking as the greenie queen of the universe, of course…)</p>
<p>My remark on poetgrl deleting her post was perfectly innocent!
I had no idea what was going on!</p>
<p>Now I have another greenie box…this is FUN! It was like a little mystery that I solved and then got rewarded for! I just figured out how to return the favors too I’m a regular CC Nancy Drew. Looking forward to passing on the love!</p>
<p>This is my first time on this post. What little rabble-rousers you are! I like it here. 
</p>
<p>I agree with jym626…for real.</p>
<p>Thank you, 4beardolls. I showered you with greenie appreciation.</p>
<p>** And LOL- the YMMV was apparently REALLY also used over in the other thread where the question was asked (besides here where I used it as well). See, this is sooo confusing!! I am confused enough. Don’t need to be scrambled further!</p>
<p>note: this is a repost from prestigiousity. I do love you all, though. </p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Boy, you are a grumpy queen! 
You, jym, were the one who suggested that I get my post count up! So I did, using poetgrl’s very own suggestion (post 2111):</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Can I help it if I’m an unconventional thinker? 
But I’m over 2000 posts now and that was yesterday’s theme.</p>
<p>Hmmm… What can we do today to keep people reading? ;)</p>
<p>I like playing in my own sandbox. </p>
<p>Hey, I am proud to say I’ve topped 3k! I hope that means more points for my green friends!</p>
<p>I’m I’m the drs office and they’re telling me I can’t use my phone! So, I was going to suggest a running story to keep people reading. Gotta go!</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Not sure but can’t wait to find out. This is exactly the kind of thread that I like best- fast moving and funny. </p>
<p>Maybe we should resurrect <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/parent-cafe/501191-meta-thread-save-us-all-time.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/parent-cafe/501191-meta-thread-save-us-all-time.html</a></p>
<p>How about a story about how many facebook groups have formed from CC? We have a fun one for the class of 13/17. Getting some green over there, but came here to get more. :)</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>OK, here’s an idea I used once when I was the editor of a local Mensa publication. Add exactly 50 words and hand it off to the next person. Stopping right in the middle of a sentence is generally encouraged. :)</p>
<p>Here’s the classic starting point:</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Before you write the next part, lay claim to it so there aren’t lots of cross posts. Who wants to begin?</p>
<p>I volunteer…you LoremIps.</p>
<p>Say whaaa? Now what am I being accused of? I never said “we are not amused”. That must be someone else’s quote. And I suggested you up your post count by writing front channel some of the witty limericksI hear/ see spoken of. Do share!</p>
<p>So, I am not grumpy. And am plenty amused by the clever quick wit of the posters here. I just draw the line at subverting the threads where people are having a conversation. That is all. </p>
<p>Now again, feel free to sabotage the “chances” posts. Some of those deserve it!</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>That was Queen Victoria’s quote. But it sounded like Queen Jym scolding her minions. :(</p>
<p>So THIS is where all these mysterious green squares came from.</p>
<p>I knew the parents were behind it all.</p>
<p>Whoa! Who dropped a stinkbomb in Greenieville??</p>
<p>
Is queen Victoria posting here now? Musta missed her visit…</p>
<p>And scolding minions? Wow. Havent heard that turn of a phrase on CC in quite a while… hmmm…</p>
<p>Sorry if you took my suggestion personally, lorem, as it was a general comment not directed at anyone in particular, and was a suggestion made in a light-hearted way. That said, I stand by my opinion that we not mess with regular threads. Of course anyone is welcome to do what they want. The greenie wand does not have any special ability .</p>
