No other candidate is asking the hard questions, like "Did geophysicists assassinate Jim Henson?" or "Why is there hydrogen in America's water supply?" --defective yeti

Why are all the low-numbered natters in the top ten? Was Bitches not invented yet?

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

I was wondering that too, but no, Bitches was here from day 1.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Bitches was there, and probably going just as fast. Bitches as a thread is older than Natter. We were probably just enthusiastic about the new board.

Aren't those the top 10 natter threads, not the fastest of all the threads. Or did I skim it incorrectly?

What is even happening?

The top ten also are earlier Natter threads, Kat.

Right. I'm not arguing about that at all. So we burned through the early natter threads at quite a clip. But we still liked each other, had shows to talk about and the board was all new and shiny. Remember how much fun it was to post and have the board be quick, especially after WX.

Of course we burned through those.

I'd imagine Bitches went faster in the early threads too.

Your tag here.

Ok, I'll do Bitches tonight for comparison's sake.

Just to clarify, those are the Top Ten Fastest Natter threads (not all threads) here at the Phoenix.

This is what comes from a combination of insomnia and randomly wondering how many posts per day is average for a Natter thread.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Could you add dates to those Natters, so we could see if maybe there was specific stuff going on that may have contributed to excessive chattiness?

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

The dates are all listed in the archives.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Natter X was fast b/c of the Oscars. I don't think Natter 7 has an explanation, unless it was post-Firefly weirdness.
