Question 8726: You are posting the question: "Guess what I found in my teenage DS's bedside drawer?"

What it is the precise number of replies that must be posted before you provide the answer, in order to produce the following results:

a) a feeling of dissatisfaction, akin to premature ejaculation, amongst MNers unable to post their replies in time

b) genuine interest in the actual answer, with a variety of witty and original suggestions leading to an overall feeling of bonhomie towards you, the OP, as you dripfeed/reveal the fascinating solution

c) frustration, boredom, anger, despair and eventual abandonment of the thread in droves, as MNers actually have a fucking life to lead and have already suggested every sick combination of used condom/jazz mag/gay porn/gimp mask/snaffle bit/8-week-old roast dinner/wank sock/nude picture of Anne Widdecombe/fossilised turd/Lord Lucan and no longer give a flying shit about what actually was in the OP's depraved teenage DS's sodding bedside drawer; leading to a disproportionate amount of ill-feeling, hatred and loss of MN credibility for you, the OP?

Answers must in whole numbers only - you must show your working out.

Discuss, using examples where appropriate, exactly how 'doing BLW' differs from just letting your baby help themselves to food.

piprabbit · 08/06/2011 01:59

If one MNer swallows a piece of lego on Tuesday, calculate the number of hours before she starts an MN thread.
Multiply the number of posters responding to the thread by the actual progress of the lego.
Estimate when the lego is likely to reappear.

A post asks in Property and DIY for advice on buying a house for £850 000.
Is your helpful response :

A) £850K? Alright for some. I can't even afford £85!

B) Hmm, you'd be hard pushed to buy a lock up garage where I live for that price. Can you stretch to £2m?

C) Thanks to the bastard evil Tories house prices are sky high. Eighteen month sago under labour you could buy a whole town in the South east for that price.

genuine question what are the [pombears] and is it a good or bad thing if you get one and why isnt the emoticon in the list of smileys - does that mean only a select few get to use it?
