I was only five and can remember what I was doing on that day
It was stolen on Thanksgiving day, about 1977.
Thanks for the tips Dan.Ten 4 on WendallJim:
A few points:
1. Wendell is a newcomer to this thread, maybe considered a hijacker... I don't know.
2. You only give out a few rep points per 'shot'. Wendell gives out millions.
3. 75 is a big number
4. In theory, if you gave out all your rep every day at the same time, (ie during lunch) then eventually you would lose one day' s ability to give rep. BECAUSE you have to wait over 24 hours to re-load. So you are always a little later in the day.
5. The confounded system keeps track of it
6. Sicko's keep a log.
8. Rep is addictive
9. Most people don't pay enough attention to the details to determine that there was an omission.
Still learning
Of course, dear sir. I was exaggerating. Very wrong of me. When I started, just after Freehand, You were king of the rep.
Then little Ricky came along and dethroned you. That was a bleak day. Then all heck broke free.
Just asking, is there a difference between an 046 and 346?
This may or may not be true:
I recently gave up on pursuing rep, in respect for Freehand, and I didn't like beating him out.
So I didn't look at the list until a few days ago. Freehand is now well ahead of me, and I no longer have to 'take a dive'.
I looked at the list and somehow found Vandelay, and repped him. Then I thought I noticed he went to first place. I didn't think much of it, and when I went to verify, Wendell was back in First.
Was I dreaming? Are they swapping first place? Are they that close?
For the record, when I quit actively pursuing rep FOR A TIME, SS was decidedly in First Place.
This is a reppable post.
Those of you that know my son Levi, may enjoy hearing of the time he got over on his old man.
I had shot a doe one afternoon, and had cut it up. He takes off on the mule, and a few minutes later, comes back with a deer. He takes off again , and a few minutes later comes back with another deer. He takes off again, and a few minutes later comes back with another deer.
Within 30 minutes, he had 3 deer. I was pissed. Then he may have taken off, or something, I can't remember. He was about 17. I gutted them and being too crippled to cut them all up took them to the slaughterhouse. He had a sign that said, $ 75 each.
He asked how I wanted them, I asked 'same price?' YEP. So I said "summer sausage"
I didn't have much money at that time . LOL and when I went to pick them up the bill was $ 510. I about crapped. He forgot to tell me the summer sausage cost. He may have told 100 people that day, because he had at least that many deer. I don't know how he kept them seperated. Then I was really pissed at my son. But alas, time has gone by.
