Re: The Lurkers Melting Pot - Sponsored by Green Rosol. RIP Green Clay
Wow..a new chapter by Mae
Since Fed won when I did not post my picks for the streak, I will try not to jinx him, and keep quiet on this one thereby keeping my first position from the end

Thanks Incidentally, this quote is written on the wall in the player's entrance at Center Court, Wimbledon ! I love quotes- maybe will add some new ones in my sig in the future

Ah @ Notre Dame - did not know that. One of my favorite poems is called Desiderata by Max Ehrmann - it pretty much contains every nugget of wisdom one needs in life. If you have not already read it, here is a link to this poem
Re: The Lurkers Melting Pot - Sponsored by Green Rosol. RIP Green Clay
New volume chapter by Mae! And no I didn't ask you to do it to make you type "green Rosol".
Streak final day:
Roger Federer
Why no more streak game after this, Sham?

Maybe he's tired of running it. I would volunteer but I can't count and I'd get it all wrong.
Gonna watch Serena/Aga now.

Mae, I was here while you were here. I awaited your arrival in my thread so I could bask in the glow of your awesomeness......... Alas, you ignored me and broke my ever loving heart!

Ah..had never heard this one - it's nice And yes, they are high ideals to live by-easier said than done

Whatever happens tomorrow, the lurker in me will be sponsored by my tears.
Good question Mae - Volumes are for large things that like to stand out and be heard. Attention seekers for example, and other chat threads. We're lurkers, we're subtle with what we do, and the little chapters of history we witness and quietly create around MTF. Hence chapter is the only word that makes sense to describe each thread.
Mandy might have retired by the time chapter 3 comes around. Fed will still be going strong of course

I sense the busy times coming on. Thought another lurker would like to give it a go, or try another game. I'm pretty much obsessed with games like the guy quoted below this

What a great story
Sponsorship nominations is a great idea. Agree with this one, might throw in Nielsen's Wimby finalist Gramps too.

You mean there are things more important than MTF?
156, give us a game.
