The following rules were established by Kent Shakespeare at the start of the first 24-hour version, adapted from the original rules by EDE:
The rules:
1. The Basic Idea: Post to this thread, if no one posts after you for 24 hours, you win!
2. Posts that are not direct responses to one of the five preceding posts are ineligible to win. The topic can drift, but no complete non-sequitors. Posts that are responses to non-sequitors are also ineligible to win. Posts that are responses to responses to non-sequitors, and response nses to those posts, etc., become eligible, however.
3. In the event that this thread is locked, there shall be no winner unless a new thread is started for the contest. Furthermore, any post that results in the banning of the poster shall also be ineligible to win.
4. So, more precisely, one wins if one makes a post, and then no one makes another post that's eligible to win for 24 hours.
Here's a history of our various felons, along with a few missed opportunities.....

Is evil what you are, or something you do?

While I think most people are inherently good, there are some nasty people who just seem to be…

One of the first Peanuts paperbacks my parents bought me featured "Selected Cartoons from The Unsinkable Charlie Brown."
Not only was I too young to get the pun on The Unsinkable Molly Brown, I was too young to even read the word "Unsinkable" correctly.
I recall reading it as "The Understandable Charlie Brown," among other things.
I still have that paperback. It's in rough condition, but still readable.
Still "Fickles" to my friends.
