Listed.

I may add that I have no idea when that post will be. My posting rate has varied a lot. I've posted here for two years and eleven weeks as of now and have put up 5864 posts in that time.

Lately (As in the last nine months) my posting rate has slowed.

This post will be close to my 5850th.

Do NOT use my previous posting rate as a guess. It will almost certainly be wrong.

I intend to forget about this comp till close to the time.

Remind me when I am in the 5950+ posts region. PMs welcome.

Feel free to post a day already posted. The assistant will choose between those.

Times on that day will not be counted. The assistant will choose between them.

If anyone knows how to bribe a giant schnauzer for such a draw please, please let me know.

I have a lot of reasons which have nothing to do with this draw to want to find out.

My guess is April 30th, 21:00 UTC.

Doubt it will be that soon. There are no limits to guesses though.

I have no plan. So feel free to guess as many times as you like.

Every guess will be in the draw.

I don't care about the time. Just choose a date.

Everyone who gets the right date will have to bribe the assistant.

I will draw randomly from those who choose the right day. As in the 24 hours between 00:00 BST and 23:59BST on that day.

Who only accepts what I feed her as bribes.

If anyone can think of a crazy way to choose between those who get it right that I can film - I'm doing it. The assistant is up for it too. So anything that involves me and herself is a plan.

I know how to bribe a schnauzer.

But can it get here before the draw?

Dieta is the final arbiter....

She only gets to choose between the people who get the right day/week/month/year/decade/century.

For those who have already put in a guess, I will assume the year 2012. Given the way I talk too much, I'd be surprised if I don't hit 6000 posts by June 2012.

But it might be later. Or sooner.

Okay, maybe you'll get there by May 21, 23:00 local time Scotland.

May 20th

Don't care about the time. Just the date.

For the folks who get the date right - the assistant will choose between them.

APRIL 22

April 18th 2012 :)

cinco de mayo

My guess will be the most anticipated/celebrated day of the year . . . Foy's birthday: April 22.

Well, it used to be anticipated. Now it's mostly ignored and best forgotten.

Foy

It looks like it is going to be no later than 14th April.

My guess would be April 23, 2012.

Congratulations to Don! And also many, many thanks for your kind, helpful posts from the very inception of this forum. BLF wouldn't be the place it is now without you, Don.

May 24th.............

Hi

May 16th (2012)

How about May 29th. Thanks for the wisdom imparted, Don! I hope the assistant is doing better after her procedures.
