[Trippy_D_DooDah]

Hey... On the Dream CMO site, if you hit refresh 10 times, then back space twice, get up and turn yourself around... you'll be invited to join Google TV Beta...

Got no fessing!

then why are you chirping? huh? huh?

 

[Marshay]

Oh, I thought you meant that above!

Does the pirate have anything to fess up to?

Yeah, darn the 40 second rule!! I couldn't type it all fast enough!

I guess you were right Tothesea...Kenny must have found the escaped Disney/CB and given him a mighty floggin' -- or did he make them walk the plank?

While we're passing time . . . .random question for the more computer literate amongst us . . . why do the thumbnails for the videos show up in different slots each time you refresh? Why wouldn't they be linked to a specific space on the page?

 

[Justin M]

SO, that question didn't exatly rally a flurry of responses! Sorry for the conversation killer!

Oh, I love the hokey pokey!

Sound of the crickets in my room with no other noises?

They did that to guarantee that they aren't promoting one candidate over the others. It's a randomizer.

I do think I'm going to need to check out of here soon. . . .I guess I'll wait until Midnight Eastern according to the DIS boards. ...

I thought it was just to keep the order random so no one would read into it that any one was ranked higher or something...just a guess

Oh hey! Thanks for the answer! That makes sense.... can you tell I don't know anything about this crazy interweb thing??

Thanks tothesea . .. that does make sense! I just never would have assumed that the order on the page implied anything . . .but I guess I'm still a bit naive and I don't buy into very many conspiracy theories!

 

[DISgeeksfromDC]

It was the sound of intense laughter coming from the basement tunnel...I distinctly heard Josh's obnoxious (but fun!) laugh!

Well, at least someone is laughing.... (It was fun to consider, though...)

(I'm calling "Shenanigans!" Really... Where's HMF when you need him?! )

 

[tothesea]

crickets...uh huh! sure!

won't be long til the crickets are waiting by themselves tonight!

no, you're just actually in the contest!

 

[DISgeeksfromDC]

Got no fessing!

Perhaps "Josh" is on Disboard time? It's 10:50 Distime.?

Uggggh! (I don't think I can stay awake that long...)

(Oh wait! 'Seems I've already done it! Things happen so fast in this thread, and I'm still behind... )

 

[kennythepirate]

Looks like my guess for informing us of the final 3 happening as they are boarding planes may be the winner!

 

[tothesea]

hopefully the fact that it appears we have been joshed will be of some comfort to the 7 not mentioned in that post! Here's to you all! Still behind you!

Gotta say......this isn't even a teeny bit funny to me......kinda cruel actually.

I really am invested in all of this. And I know others are too, as I had two phone calls and three emails. We really care!

Whoever did this, knows the players involved.

Speculating has gotten me in trouble on here before though. Just know I am thinking thinking thinking over here.

Speaking of "random" questions, I think the Sponsors are trying to randomize the videos out of fairness to all of the contestants. (That way, everyone has an equal chance at being listed first -- or last -- on the page. ... No favoritism that way!)

Of course, I'm so behind in my posts, I'm certain that probably 10 other people already have answered this little question for you... Ah well!

For what it's worth . . . I really do appreciate how invested you are in this. The emotional commitment so many people have made to this contest truly is amazing - and that's what makes us a little short on the sense of humor this time of night!

Just know you're not alone!

I'm so tired...but now I have the "real" voice in my head having an argument with me about going to bed!

I guess I'll stay a little longer...and listen to that laughter a little longer...
