[ventrical]

Hi All,

Just 25 more posts and I'll have 5000 beans... so .. If some of my posts are a little frivolous .. then you will have to understand that I am on a run here :) lol ...

Just wondering ... do I get a turkey or somthing :)

hahahehaehaehh .. :)

[Elfy]

Ahhhh .. so starting a thread is not counted as an actual bean .. interesting.

:)

[su:bhatta]

Starting threads in Cafe never counted as beans !

For 5000 beans you should get a years supply of LPG cylinders :) 5k beans gotta give that much gas !

The pun being, in India there is a subsidy on LPG and if the ration of 12 LPG cylinders a year is over utilised then you don't get subsidy :(

Thanks for the clarification bhatta:)

Actually my bean count is a bit of an embarrassment to me! That is why I hide them.

The count would indicate that my ubuntu knowledge is quite high when I really am not that bright at all.

The truth is that I have been a very keen spammer chaser although I have slackened off in more recent times - ;)

p.s. I am only about half way to your total ventrical!

[grahammechanical]

I have the franchise on "please give us more information" posts. I am willing to pass the franchise over to someone else. The frustration cost is getting too high.:)

You're not referring to my post are you grahammechanical?

For those who don't know - you may collect one bean for every spam post reported - :p

Could have fooled me.

What are the annual franchise fees?

Truth be told, if it wasn't for the abilty to edit my posts I would probably have double the beans.
(Or a rather large selection filling up the jail)
Half my posts would simply be lol, huh?, or ?.

Edit: and +1.
(lol)

[Bashing-om]

@ grahammechanical; Me too !


The frustration cost is getting too high

Move over and make room in that boat !
We put a lot of time, energy and resources into finding a solution (and getting help to do so) only for some threads to be dropped.

Aspirin


does not alleviate that pain

I hide my beans for similar reasons. I took a look at my bean count the other day, and found myself asking how I managed to get there, when I haven't been contributing to support threads nearly as much as I used to.

[hebrewofyhwh]

No. But you NOW have permission to go pour a celebration cup of coffee.

[overdrank]

You can have some of mine, I bought them on ebay :P

Not today, thanks, I have enough of my own. :D

I'm turning in my beans for bitcoins!

Bitcoins have crashed. They never did fit the definition of money. Non property.

From some of the answers I have seen, I am suspecting that some have ditched their accounts to start new accounts with lower numbers of beans. I have seen very good answers with low bean counts.

This is a more of a result of the hack of the forums last summer.

Some users opted to simply log in as a new user rather then go through what they presumed would be a bunch of hoops.

[lykwydchykyn]

5000 beans isn't worth a hill of beans.... er... well...

[PJs Ronin]

5000 beans... I am reminded of a scene from, I think it was, Blazing Saddles.

But also shows that beans does not equate to knowledge. Not all Ubuntu gurus are Forum members!

[QDR06VV9]

What? No turkey for ventrical.
Well at least CharlesA (http://ubuntuforums.org/member.php?u=923868) will give you Cookies..

I went with the hoops option and some help from Elfy.:D

[Elfy]

I'd like to say I remember - but they've all merged into one enormous puddle in my mind :p

[Habitual]

As did I, and he was stellar. Extremely personable during the process.

I don't know what they're paying him, but it isn't enough!

No turkey at 5000. But at 25000 you get a 3 day old dead fish that was left on elfy's back porch.

Hey, if it is only 3 days old and packed in oil and comes from Sardinia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sardinia), then that is not too bad.

Actually I am having haddock for supper. :)

*note*

At 5000 posts my Unity screen icons/tiles started to shuffle and shift, then there were these bells in the background and then a Big Gong sound and the words 'Enter the Dragon' scrolled across my screen. :)lol

[su:bhatta]

Congrats on the 5k mark ! :)

Wonder what you had for dinner , little too much mushroom maybe, lol;)

[Bucky Ball]

Never judge a guru by their bean count. Congrats on the 5k. Only 20k to go until the dead fish!

What about the Sultan's wife?

[Elfy]

aaah nice to see you made it to 5k ...

I'll wander off later to see which ones I can move about to get it down to 4997 :evil:

[Elfy]

You'll be getting yours on time :p

I actually had some aruga (some sort of spinach type aphrodisiac) that my lady friend served me up on Sunday. I had no idea what it was and Iv'e been going ever since. :)

Ancient Chinese Tao Te Ching say:

Many beans is good.
More beans is better.

A man can have many beans and say nothing.
A man can have 1 bean and also say nothing.
A man can have no beans and speak volumes.

Many beans break wind
One bean stops the wind

No beans means rain,

Therefore it is better to have more than many beans for much breakage of wind so that ships can sail.

Ahhh! I remember when I finally got 5,000 beans with my Pentium II, a 5 Gb harddrive and a PCMCIA wireless card!

Good times...

There is the option for one to turn their beans off.

[bapoumba]

No turkey at 5000. But at 25000 you get a 3 day old dead fish that was left on elfy's back porch.

Is there another option ?
I think I'l try very hard to never get there :)

mmm - gonna be really smelly by then :p

My brother hated me when he got married - fish on the car engine ...

I would quit the forum if they took away the beans. I don't work for free.

Of course, this is a subject that has been and will be again debated to no clear solution. It is tempting to believe that the poster with several thousand beans knows everything about Ubuntu, but it's seldom true as we know. As well, just because the poster has only six beans doesn't mean he or she is inexperienced. I think the only certainty we can have is that if you want to wear your bean count, you may. If not, they may be hidden.

I am sort of proud that I've gotten as far as I have and never been banned...yet.
