Yes. It is my friend Bob's fault.

Many things are my friend Bob's fault.

Please count me in. My reading needs a shot in the arm, or something.

welcome, joZ. how long you been a lurkin'?

JoZ · 03-11-2004, 11:16 PM

Oh, only about six months or so. From what I've seen, that's not even close to a record!

lumberjim · 03-11-2004, 11:33 PM

that still freaks me out. how many more of you out there?

JoZ · 03-11-2004, 11:35 PM

I'll assume that question was rhetorical, or directed to other lurkers who may or may not respond! There's no one else here with me, at any rate... :p

Could we have one or two trusted senior Cellarites volunteer to be the one(s) to pull names out of the hat?

And is the term Cellarites the proper way of denoting cellar members?
It keeps making me think of...

I think of us as Cellarers, but that might be due to lack of imagination.

Have you picked out a book already? Shall I read all 7 pages trying to find the title?

Nope, if I remember rightly, you've still got 'til march 15th to ask to join, then we'll start chosing books.

Slartibartfast · 03-14-2004, 03:28 PM

Okay, noone has volunteered to pull names from a hat, and I don't want to.

So here's what I've done.

NJ lotto holds the game Mega Millions at 11:00 PM Tuesday night.

The Mega Ball number is from 1 to 52.
I've given everyone two numbers next to their names below.
If the Mega Ball number matches a number next to your name, you are the Chooser for the month of April! If the Mega Ball turns out to be a number with no name (currently 47 - 52), then *%$&#@, I am going to pull names out of a hat. But don't worry, that won't happen because I've rigged the NJ lotto to make the Mega Ball turn out to be number 3.

Anyone joining on Monday will just get assigned the next two free numbers from the range. We have enough room for three more to join. In the event that more than three late comers join, then *&$#@* I'll pull names out of a hat or think of something else to do.

The official Mega Millions numbers and rules are posted at
http://www.state.nj.us/lottery/games/1-1_big_game.shtml
The Mega Ball is the number at the end listed after the + sign.

Oh you were looking for volunteers to pull names? I would have done it but someone said something about the cellar elite and, well, I am not one of them. If you still want someone to draw names I am up for it otherwise the Mega Ball is cool with me.

Question: What happens in May if the mega ball picks the same person to choose a book?

I just meant someone that has been on the board long enough so that they are generally trusted by everyone, I'm a recent newcomer myself. I don't really mean the Cellar 'elite' and I don't think I used that word, though if you've racked up over 1000 of anything you are an elite something

And we would have to take names off the list as they get picked. I was trying to think of a fun and totally random way of picking people, and this was the best I could think of on a sunday afternoon.
