In this race of planet history, Lurkers, those with less than 100 posts per year of membership are challenged!
Myself, and other tenured members I shall designate will pose comments, statements or questions of Chiefs Planet History. Your job~your Challenge! is to explain the story behind the comment, link it to its originating poster....explain why its relevant or funny. Bonus points awarded for context.
How well do the lurkers know us? How versed are the lurkers in our history?
At the end of this thread, I will donate $20 to Chiefsplanet in the name of the determined winner. The contest will end when I determine the thread/contest has run its course.
Points will be awarded by myself to the first lurker with correct explanation of each event. Bonus points will be given to those with less than 10 total posts.
Tenured posters are allowed to participate in the thread, however until a lurker answers a question...do not give the answer, or anything more than subtle hints on questions that may pose difficulty. Once revealed of the true answer.....feel free to give your take or comment on that moment. [Reply]

One of the craziest things I've read on here (and there are many to choose from) was the thread where Hel'n was complaining about a bully at his/her son's school. After a while, Kotter or KCWolfman (can't remember which) literally 'called the bluff' and called the school in question.
I can't remember the exact details, but I remember that it was an interesting read. I've tried searching for it, but can't find it. Anyone remember the details? [Reply]
hel'n was an effing nutjob and a hard core liberal who hated it some republicans.
To make the "point" it made up a story that some republican boys at its son's school sexually abused her kid in the showers.....it went on and on. It was eventually resulting in the bluff call...well, a real call, that pissed off that school's administration for slander and other things. I dont' know but I think the shat hit the proverbial fan for that person's real life.
I don't really support anyone having their real life affected due to posts on a bbs, but that person needed some serious, real life help.....probably from an institution. [Reply]

Then there are people like CC, who took that phrase to the bank and made it his goal to singlehandedly surpass all veteran posters in post count in his first year of posting. :-) [Reply]
ENDelt does something foolish.
I've got a keg of Miller Lite... I've got a shot glass.... after I finish dinner, I'm gonna start up Century Club and see how far past 100 I can go. I gotta at least make 130 or I owe my neighbor $20.
Unfortunately he only made it to 108 before he puked.
The ensuing thread documents the attempt with pics and videos. [Reply]

I've simmered down significantly as of late....
hell I don't even know what my new post count is, but that could be a question for the lurkers, what was my highest post per day average? [Reply]

Awesome, he rarely posts anymore - and often times it's just to be an ass - but I gotta try and meet up with this legend. I could probably go toe to toe with him.....
