How do you get flames on your post icon?

[Book Lover]

Is it number of posts within a period of time?

[jpgray]

1. Post something on sexism, abortion, or Ralph Nader.

:silly:

[da_chimperor]

3. Or, more recently, southerners n/t

[Reverend_Smitty]

2. I think you get it after...

20 or 25 replies to your post

[Kire]

5. 30 or more posts

[Book Lover]

9. Thank you

I think my post in Editorials is going to get there, so I'll finally be in the cool kids club!

[miss_kitty]

19. we could hijack this post

and go off on a totally different topic on the side here

Which book(s) can you read over and over again?

[qnr]

21. The Dragons Of Eden n/t

[Book Lover]

37. Doorways in the Sand

by Roger Zelazny. Neat sci-fi story about a perpetual college student who unwittingly merges with an alien sentient "computer". Oh hell, I gave away the ending! Well, not really...

[miss_kitty]

40. ok. Since nobody asked, mine is

Venus on the Half-Shell, by Kilgore Trout

[Lady Effingbroke]

51. My Pet Goat

classic bathroom reading! :silly:

[miss_kitty]

52. Or Bathic classroom reading!

[qnr]

4. I'll help! Everyone post an inane reply so Book Lover can get a flame! n/t

[NYC Liberal]

10. Inane reply right here!

+1 for my post count!

[qnr]

12. Where are my car keys? n/t

[qnr]

13. Oh, nevermind, I forgot I don't own a car n/t

[NYC Liberal]

15. In your car!

:silly:

[qnr]

18. ut-oh n/t

[Tweed]

6. You get a flame after 30 replies

[Book Lover]

28. Thank you

And should that happen in this thread, I promise not to say, "Smokin'!" like whatshisface in The Mask.

[trof]

7. decals

;-)

[Book Lover]

24. To continue the non-sequitur nature of this thread

Have you heard about the temporary paint you can apply to your car? I think I read about it in Autoweek; the idea is that you can do something outrageous (like flames on your commuter car) and wash it off come Monday morning.

[qnr]

31. Even more fun if you put the flames on your company car

and wash them off on the weekend.

[madrchsod]

8. say something profoundly stupid

you`ll either be flamed or ignored

[qnr]

There's no such thing as light, there's just an absense of dark

stupid enough?

[Iris]

11. Just tryin' to flame ya! eom

[Book Lover]

Aw

You all like me, you really realy like me!

[miss_kitty]

14. lets throw another log on the fire for Book Lover!

:hi:

[NYC Liberal]

22. Are we burning Books???

:wow:

;)

[Book Lover]

35. I've been thinking about a bookarts project

I'd love to make a non-flammable edition of a controversial book, and set up an exhibit where flames are licking the bottom of it, but it won't burn...

Also, I think it was Minsky who burned a copy of The Satanic Verses and created a reliquary art piece. I recall something about it being stolen...

[NYC Liberal]

41. Why just one?

Let's publish ALL our books that way! Then we can save them when * comes knocking!

[Book Lover]

44. Do you really want to hear about IpCo and other paper companies

Actually, I'd bore you to death.... Just come to the show when I get this idea off the ground :-)

You remind me of the end of Fahrenheit 451; people simply memorized their books, and were known by the book's title. For some like me, that would be a utopia :-)

[NYC Liberal]

48. You know I never actually sat down and read F451.

Is it worth it?

[Book Lover]

50. Absolutely

In fact, if I were in your prescence, I'd loan you my copy.

[qnr]

23. Long as it's not a book {random thought} n/t

[Book Lover]

[Book Lover]

45. For which I thank you

Um, what the heck does your name mean? I've been trying to figure it out!

[ismnotwasm]

46. There are 'isms'

communism, socialism, Darwinism, alcoholism......That just don't go away no matter how hard folks try to pretend. Kind of a cryptic joke on my part.

[ismnotwasm]

47. oh, yeah, and sexism. Doesn't seem to go away either

[Book Lover]

49. Ah, perhaps

a bit too cryptic for this time of day for me :-) Thanks :-)
