The CW50 - No.8

[Johnners]

Haha, well he spent about half an hour today asking me all about how people get around the way we detect duplicate accounts. He's a mod so they weren't completely out of the ordinary questions of course, until this thread arrived...

Setting me up imo.

I think if nothing else, we can absolutely rule out SS

 

[The Sean]

Ok so I've been out tonight and have decided to leave resuming the countdown for a bit longer so we can all bask in the sheer, unadulterated glory that is this thread. But to catch up I will announce numbers 8 and 7 in quick succession in the next day or so, and we can keep up the timing of having it all completed before Christmas.

Reckon this thread should have its own archive though as possibly the most epic win in the history of the forum.

The strangest part of this hoax is the fact that Vic gave it away in about the 5th post.

 

[NUFAN]

Must admit I was swearing to myself at the lad who left out Bradman from his 25 and chucked in Jardine.

Good work guys.

I didn't read the posts, I just saw the original and said 'WTF?' and posted my reply.

To be honest, I didn't quite get it when I read the post either, until I decided to bitch about it on MSN and Gelman told me.

 

[SirBloody Idiot]

I didn't catch on until about Page 5 when someone said to look at the post count...

 

[Pratters]

pratyush outdoing himself, again.

 

[Pratters]

I read through the first 2-3 pages but thought they were laughing at Bradman being named number 8.

 

[Days of Grace]

Was about to launch into yet another expletive-filled tirade about never posting on here again before I happened to look at the post count.

Genius is word that is bandered about too often, but in this case it is apt.


Now for The real Sean to come on and post number 8 as...Don Bradman.

 

[Jono]

This is funny.

 

[Uppercut]

Okay, it's like five hours later and I still find this absolutely hilarious.

 

[morgieb]

I was thinking, WTF @ Bradman @ 8? Awesome effort to trick me.

Yep, really gotta be up early to catch out ol' morgieb.....

Yet another highlight of an already priceless thread.

 

[Jono]

Yeah was gonna say that Burgey's post is probably the best of them all.

Thread of the Year surely?

Decade tbh. Who's multi is it? Much props to that man. Would auto-vote him at the nest BOTM. This thread was great from the first post but Pratters has surely put it into the stratosphere of awesome.

Skull of the century for me.. And Thank God I had the sense to read a few responses instead of posting a reply to the OP, as is usual with me..

 

[Xuhaib]

decent lol this.

GI Joe apparently.

I was really worked up by this - and took me until like the third page for the penny to drop.
