what exactly is the story behind w2kuser & post-it notes???
he's made numerous mention of them in his daily stats threads before but i confess that i don't understand the reference.
i vaguely remember something about him saying he likes to use them (don't know in what fashion), but that is about all i can recall.
anybody know the story and care to fill me in?? :o :)

If I remember right . . . . .
W2K tends to pass out at his desk from drinking too much Stella, then wake up with post-it notes plastered all over his face. :p

>then wake up with post-it notes plastered all over his face
who is putting them on his face? not himself, right? sides' they don't stick very well to skin. ;)
well, hopefully in several more hours, the head honcho himself will tell us all the gory details. :D

harder is right.
When I first started doing the stats, I didn't have a fancy excel spread sheet set up, and I had to log all the points/jobs by hand. This included the members with stray cows, I would write them down on post-it notes, then add them together before putting them into the stats sheet.
I fell asleep one night (or should that be passed out :)) after drinking a shed load of stella and before I posted the numbers, I awoke in the morning with my head on the desk and hence the post-it notes. One of the members numbers had superimpossed themselves to my forehead from the biro.
:D

You must have missed a couple of zeroes there mate !!!
Or maybe - to keep your end up, as it were - you only choose to remember the night (well-documented in the "Why Are We Waiting" thread), when you had sort of locked yourself in the air-conditioned garage (as it was in those days !!!), and the only way the Missis could contact you for resuscitation purposes was over the public address system, i.e. my posting a message to you on these boards via the computer in your living room.
That was a very long sentence, even for me, so I'd better bung in a couple of smilies to keep the auditorium awake. :lol: :lol: :lol:
But you're a good lad at heart - you must be, otherwise you wouldn't still be alive in this wicked world of ours.

i think you've got that backwards, tt. the good always seem to die young and the wicked live to a ripe old age. all of which basically means you'll be hanging around here a whole lot longer! :p

Well don't forget there are still a couple of years remaining for Win2 to hand in his computers, and prove the first part of your adage. Likewise there are many many years remaining for me to reach a ripe old age and disprove the second part.
So all in all, perhaps you better go back to the typewriter for a couple of days and re-write the script !
