Well, I guess I didn't read your post carefully enough. Your question is different from the birthday problem, this is true.
BUT: You say that the same song cannot be played twice. So you have to take into account how many songs did you listen to before that special event occured? If the same song cannot be played twice, it's impossible for any song to reappear in between the two "Poison"s if you already listened to it.

Whenever the algorithm gets reset, i.e. when I charge the iPod, all of the songs become "fair game" again,

You also have to take into account how the shuffle algorithm works. Does it play songs "at random" or does it keep an internal list and will give you the same song order as long as you don't turn it off

Each one of the songs gets a number, 1-2260 and it runs that list through until the battery dies. You can skip on or go back. I just found it hightly ironic to get 2 in a row with Poison, then three in a row later that same day with Powerslave.

A few days later, I had One Week, by the Bare Naked Ladies following Jerry Springer, the parody, by Weird Al.

Maybe not just yet. We'll see how well I do for the season, I'll let you know.

Please do. :)

First game, we lost by 7 wickets. All out for 52, I was out for a duck. My career as interim captain should now be over.

83 years old. 83 years on NG would mean that I was 104...

Yeah, we've had very little sun. Perhaps I'll get them out in the sunshine soon, if it ever comes back.

I haven't played Monopoly for years. Perhaps I should dig the old girl out?

I last played it last year at a friend's house. I made a boss move by double rolling into Park Lane and then rolling snake eyes into Mayfair. I was able to buy both properties but it sadly didn't make me win the game. Still, gotta love moments like them.

Nah, the best set to get is the green ones - more chance that people will land on them and they are the most expensive outside of Park Lane and Mayfair.

I'm looking at actually buying a house in Worcester, which is about 10-15 miles from home. Maybe that will be some way of turning my relationship fortunes around?

Now that boosts your first impression a lot. I'll admit that my first impressions are horribly lacking but if they're quite a distance away, hopefully just saying I'm willing to travel far just for them will get them interested in me. I do have my determinations but they're not being put into use. Yet. Just need to find that right one who will say yes to me.

30 is a bit old for walking home with a girl and saying "keep the noise down, my parents are asleep" :P

Yeah, you have a point there, although one could still find the name of my ex. At least I don't wave around the name of family and friends on the internet. Perhaps you know my sister's name but that was only because my tongue slipped at the time. Although, I think you're trustworthy enough to know her name.

I can't remember it, don't worry, your secret is safe with me :P

Hah, I suppose it's all good then. Maybe at the next NG meet we'll both go to I may tell you my ex's name. :P

I'll be drinking, so safety again!

It's a good start for sure.

But the new games are crap. Why even bother having them lying around?

Heh. You are asking a collector why he has all this stuff lying around? It's like asking about the meaning of life.

But it's Final Fantasy. It stopped being good long ago.

Again: Collectors issues. I have much worse games in my collection than any FF (I also still own FF IX, even though this game sucks as compared to VII and X), but I don't just throw them away. Because... well, that would just be wrong, you know? ;)

Wait, where can you watch Beavis and Butthead with the music videos still intact? All that I can ever find is shows with the music videos cut out...

I'm just using YouTube to find the episodes.

Ah, so no chance for me finding those on YT. "Sorry, but this video MIGHT contain content of... blah"

Some of them have the music videos but I'd rather watch the episodes without them. The episodes themselves are still fun so hopefully I can go through most of the show. I did watch Do America years back.

Do America was great, haha.
Beavis and Butthead had some very nice videos from time to time. It was that show where I first saw the video of Wendy O. and the Plasmatics - The Damned. ^^

I am tempted to make a new Last.fm but I don't want to throw 7 years of my music history away like that. They'll have to make the option to change names sooner or later.

Maybe they are evil enough not to do it?

Perhaps they are. Fuck.

Excellent!

No, this is very bad.

No, this is good!

Not a problem. Happy to help.

60,000 B/P points.

Got promoted to Colonel. Not many more ranks left now until that winged tank.
Still only just over halfway though.

And also over 10 total voting power.

Just dropping by to say: "Good buy". I will be back on Sunday, but might not post here again until Monday.

So long. :)

Just dropping by to say: "Good buy"

Yeah, of course that should read "bye". *hangs head in shame*

Ah well, at least you have something to laugh about now. ;)

180,000 medal points earned.

Level 52 attained.

Level 16

Level 44!

Wow been so busy with Real life that I forgot to post my last milestone. 8 years on NG with this account. Is it really a big deal? Nope won't be until I hit my 10 year mark.

Level 52...and now moving on.

37k exp

Just hit level 59 and racked up over 90,000 on medal points.

I just passed 11,000 b/p which means I'm now a praporshi... praporshci... proporshick... praporshs... chick.. thing.

I feel too lenient as I've gone from a 1-6 ratio from pre-october last year to a three times as high 1-18 from post-october onwards.

45,000 b/p.

Can't believe I've only got 5k more to go now before I possibly call it quits. I've been thinking about trying for a spot in the top 50, then just trying to maintain it from there. Time will tell, though.

Oh, and I passed 33,333 saves recently, too.

I have seen movies on the portal for 3 days and still under judgement. Large file sizes are often skipped. Once a movie falls off the first page it becomes harder to find since the last update.

118,000 B/P

Moving on and still getting Blams. I want a lot more of them, though!

Hooray, some good things for a change. I have landed on another job, although it's yet another temporary position and is only 16 hours a week but the fact that this will last for six months is good enough for the time being. Plus, the new job will cover different experience for me so this will help with my CV in the near-future.

I'm aware getting both Park Lane and Mayfair didn't mean autowin but you gotta admit, that's still a damn nice move.

Hah, then it is settled. I only wish we did get a Summer meet but that's not the case. Not sure where I'll be by the end of 2013 so maybe 2014 meet it is.

I wish I could say the same but I really have drifted from the site quite a bit lately. However, my time feels well spent on Tumblr with the people I'm interacted with so at least I'm enjoying myself more over there. There isn't as much I can do on here than I did back in the day.

And here I am back into employment. Feels good man!

Ah, so no chance for me finding those on YT. "Sorry, but this video MIGHT contain content of... blah"

Ah yeah, the bullshit country restrictions. It's the one thing I hate most about YouTube. The videos will only get pirated elsewhere easily so what is the point? However, you can possibly try Dailymotion to find all the episodes that are lying around there.

Some of them have the music videos but I'd rather watch the episodes without them. The episodes themselves are still fun so hopefully I can go through most of the show. I did watch Do America years back.

Do America was great, haha.

I enjoyed it when I saw it.

Beavis and Butthead had some very nice videos from time to time. It was that show where I first saw the video of Wendy O. and the Plasmatics - The Damned. ^^

Perhaps it can introduce you to new music but eh, I much prefer to just watch the episodes themselves.

Passed 32K B/P

I'll probably never make it that far, anyway, so no harm done. :P

Ranked #150 in Experience.

That puts me in the Top #150 of every list on NG (except reviews/replies) which I currently don't give a hoot about.

70,000 total stats.

6,666 Medals.

Level 17 :)
