Subject: RE: Nibbs - XLD001 - 2009-07-02 9:18 PM Ha! I just posted about Nibbs on the Taser Running thread. So, to bring back some old memories. (Uh, not that I'm calling anyone old or anything.... LOL) The History of NIBBS: In November 2007, a challenge team was created. The team selected the name "They Who Shall Not Be Named" aka TWSNBN. This was eventually shortened to "Nibbs." Nibbs stuck around. We're now up to Nibbs XL. (XL doesn't stand for "extra large," but "40.") By tradition, TinkerBeth (LastCall2003) always starts the new thread. Everyone is welcome to post on Nibbs. However, once you post there, you are officially a "Nibb" yourself. (As QueenZipp put it recently, we're just one big [dysfunctional] family.) Here are the posting stats. (This is from my blog.) These numbers are for the FIRST month of Nibbs only (from Nov 1st through Nov 30th, 2007): Twisnibbins I - 3495 posts Twisnibbins II - 1633 posts Twisnibbins III - 1499 posts Twisnibbins IV - 1590 posts Twisnibbins V - 1488 posts Twisnibbins VI - 1050 posts (so far) Twisnibbins Chronicles - 44 posts --------------------------------------- Total: 10,799 posts (so far) At approximately 3 inches each: 32,397 inches total Divided by 12 in/foot: 2,699.8 feet total Divided by 5280 ft/mile: 0.51 miles 0.51 miles = 0.81 kilometers I like to be a Nibbler, myself.  Don't forget those a.k.a's, too - Nibbley-poos, Nibblettes, Nibb-Nibbs, etc.  |
