I'm not planning on retiring, so let's just leave it at that :P
lol you wouldn't. I can't believe you guys and your unthinkable b/p achievements...
I didn't dream of getting this high at the start - merely of passing fixit, who was the B/P champ back when I signed up. Now I've done that, I focus on other things, such as RemRulzz, schneelocke and MPA, who are coming into view. I'd like to be the 12th user to 100k, but I've got to motor to keep certain users behind me and certain users ahead of me from getting there first.
Focus on the little things. I've have 5 straight days of 50+ B/P and now I've passed 50 per day for the week, I've focused on 55 per day. 60, if I'm lucky.
Well, we all buy cars for a reason - I bought mine for passengers, fuel mileage and tax / insurance economy.
Which is what to keep in mind when you're thinking intelligently. I bought mine when I was younger to race around and think I was cool :/
And buying a car which weighs just over a ton, with an engine that has enough power to pull a family estate around wasn't?
Not so cool anymore with no A/C, race struts and only 2 seats :( I won't even drive the thing anymore, I just drive my dad's jeep. Anymore the thought of even driving in that honda is just embarassing.
Hawk it for a new one? You can get some really nice second hand cars, which come in at a fraction of the showroom price.

Some support agencies. ;)
Does his mum work for them? That would be ironic :P

oh I see now. Too bad I'm not an atomic superman. :P
No, but you're a draconic superman.

Congrats to:
HeavyTank: 47,000 Medal Points
=( I feel kind of small by going over the mark of 44444 medal points. But it's still a lot.
Is a total of 30 comments in your news posts a mark too?
I wouldn't really say that either is an achievement. I can understand 55,555 Medal Points, as 5 is a denomination of medal point value that you can get, but not 4...

I don't really regard myself as chasing Afro_Stud or harryjarry at the moment. I'll just carry on getting B/P and moving up to 16th, 15th and 14th over the next few weeks. When I get to the top 10, I can start to focus on those that have blazed a trail up there.
For you that's still quite possible, but for me it won't be easy to even get near the top 10 as guys like you, Gagsy and byteslinger are gonna throw out the inactive top 10'ers soon.
Well, that's one way of looking at it. Look at ReconRebel - we once thought he'd never give up, but he did, short of 100k. Times change and so does the landscape of the B/P list. Will harryjarry pass Afro_Stud, then give up? Who knows, though I suspect not :P
Well I guess if I still stay here much longer after my bp retirement I'd get back into it again as otherwise I'll just be watching myself being bumped out of top 100 lists into oblivion.
You're pretty safe on the Blammers list :P Saviours, I'm not entirely sure about though.
Yeah the Blammers list is so slow... I think YoinK used to be around the 50th spot since 2007 or so and only recently he has been thrown out.
By me, no less. You'll get a nice scalp when you get there, though it might not be anyone as classy as YoinK or D0GMA, you'll still get some judos for being one of those to join the list with less than 30k Blams!
As for the Saviors list; it's indeed a much faster list, but I'm high up there and I punched a reasonable gap between me and the guy below me (4,000 saves). I'd say I'm safe for a few years at least.
With new users coming along and setting massive paces (on recent standards), I wonder if it will be.

reverend is amused.
Just got to get over the cold - voice acting with a sore throat is not good :P
2-0, as predicted. Texas can't wait to get back for the home cooking, as the bullpen implosion last night left Texas with a mountain to climb. You kind of get the feeling that the series will be over if they lose and go 3-0 down.
Four straight walks in the 8th, implode might be a nice word for it. Hopefully they will get out of their funk when they do head home else, game over.
Perhaps they needed a day off, to realise that they weren't world champs, just because they had beaten the Yanks :P
As a neutral, I'm against that.
"I have no strong feelings one way or the other."
If Texas lose tonight, it's a beige alert.

Leave it running in the background and go and have a shower. That works for one run through and then you've only got to do it twice more without closing the window. I did it with the shower, the drive to work and muted while the laptop was switched on under my desk at work. Simple.
It's worth the 175 Medal Points for that :P
