Unbelieveably, I was hovering on another message board a few weeks back and this was one of the main threads (as well as an equally scintillating one called "Let's count up from one to 10,000"). Folk were actually posting one number at a time and taking turns to count backwards. Unbelieveable.
The Count on Seseme Street can get away with slow number crunching but that's because he is a foam educational tool aimed at 6 year old working class kids. I expect better from human beings.
I'd like to get a feedback from people on TMO for other times when they have felt let down by the human race.

I heard tell of some cock who'd never seen Predator.

it is one of those films that gets worse as time goes on, 9,995. I believe that the word 'jingoistic' could be used, but I don't fully know what it means. I'm surfing a lexical ripcurl here, folks!
eta: I don't know what lexical means either. That's how badass I am.

Erm, erm, okay, well, pretty much every day I feel this. Today a woman on the tube was standing in the aisle in the middle, with her fat beady eyes on a juicy chair that was about to be become free. As the be-suited ass of the man gently lifted, she saw her chance and took it, forgetting that the train was about to sharply brake as it came into the station. So, man stands up, woman twists round, lets go of handrail and staggers up the aisle, knocking people over as the train comes to a halt. I was already sitting, but still, this made me disappointed, that these people all suffer because this other person couldn't wait a split second before letting go of the rail.
It struck me as the kind of grabbing greediness that typifies Londoners. Also, one of those "Can you move DOWN please" twats was on the train, and I hate them.

Was is supposed to be forwards or reverse alpabetical order? If the former then I fucked it up already!
Didn't we have a thing a while ago where you had to find the worst thread ever from another forum? Did anyone see the HB thread from the girl who got motion sickness from giving blow jobs? That was ace.

i once got caught in between one of the 'can you move down' twats and one of the 'who do you think you are i aint movin', bre'er!' twats. it was awful. i was the filling in an underground twat sandwich. i of course was carrying an incredibly large rucksack, so you could argue that, to extend the twat sandwich metaphor a little further, we were the eqivalent of two slices of bread with a slice of bread in the middle.
27. just trying to hurry this charade up a little.

Nobody ever gets the sandwich metaphor right. I mean tt's not like you call it a bread sandwich, when you're talking about cheese between two slices of bread. That's a cheese sandwich. It's the filling that defines the name of the sandwich! So if you were in a twat sandwich and you were in the middle, you'd be the twat.

No! You're the equivalent of three slices of cheesy twat in cheese wich of sandy twats or something.

:spooky: One of those was on my train too - a Victoria line, approx Finsbury Park, approx 8.35 this morning. Shaw Taylor says: were you on my carriage? I wouldn't have been able to see, as all I could see was groins.

I'm sure there was a thread once on Handbag that consisted of people counting down until 5pm, or something very similar. You know: Sunnybear posts "3.46 now!" with a massive doll avatar, animated tickers, 500 words of signatures and smileys taking up ten times more screenspace than the post itself.
I contributed to it, along the lines of I dread to think that the pioneers of the World Wide Web might realise their efforts to create a global democratic arena have descended to this -- a bunch of office girls typing numbers.
