    What's the plural for "flabbergasted?"
    At a convention of linguists and grammarians, upon hearing of yet another case of an adjective being pressed into service as a noun, would there not be a reaction from a group of flabbergasteds?

    Does that equally apply when "flabbergasted" is used as an adverb?

    Can you guess who'll be playfully ploughing thru some ice cream later today, as they contemplate the many plot twists of this enduring story?

    Does that make “playfully plowing” an oxymoron? Also, am I the only one who had to use a dictionary to find out that ploughing is the British English spelling while plowing is the American English spelling of the same word?

    The only "dance" I can do is the moonwalk...does that count?

    Are you telling me you can do the moonwalk, @nossmf , but not the Macarena?

    What type of dancing?

    Does anyone else think this seemingly random question from @jazleneortiz37 might be from page 1 of this lovely thread?

    Isn't that likely, but was it a case of extreme multi-year lag (9+ years!), or just a case of failing to notice a week ago that there were over 3,400 more pages of questions after page 1?

    Wait, there's a page 1? Doesn't that imply this thread had a beginning, and therefore there was a time before this thread existed? What did you people do before this thread existed?

    Are you referring to immediately before the existence of this thread? Don’t you remember that a long roadtrip is what prompted the creation of this lovely thread, @nossmf ?

    Can we all agree that extreme multi-year lag is the absolute worst kind of lag?

    If you read on back through some of the earlier pages, wouldn’t you see I may have been having pages of conversations with just myself? 😅

    Considering I didn't join the thread until page 4,000-something, can I be excused for not knowing the origin of the thread?

    Should I post the origin story on every page from here on out? 😂

    Why not add it as a signature line to your name, so every post you make includes this vital information?

    Does anybody know how to create a signature line for posts here in MFP?

    Can someone let me know when they find out so I can add mine? How does “User formerly known as The Warden, newly dubbed Thread Empress” sound?

    If you’re already digging around, can I save you some time with this link which explains that feature is no more?

    https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10893702/how-do-i-add-a-signature

    Do you think people would get more tired of reading my signature than I would get of having to copy it into every post? 😂

    nossmf Posts: 12,057 Member
    If that feature is no more, how come a few people still get to use it? Why allow existing signatures to continue but not allow new ones? Shouldn't all existing signatures disappear if it is truly "no more?"

    Can you figure out how to do that please? Do you think if we’re successful, they would show up retroactively? Can you imagine what our page count would be if that were the case?

    Wouldn't the page count remain the same? Aren't there 30 posts per page despite the length/brevity of posts?

    Wouldn't one need to check all 3,455 pages in order to ascertain with absolute certainty that there are in fact 30 posts per page? Can you guess that I have not done this? And even then, wouldn't the possibility remain that a future page might not follow that pattern?
    Conversely, wouldn't one need find only one page with more or fewer posts than 30 to prove it isn't so? 🤔
    Do I hear any volunteers? 😂

    If I take it on may I borrow an additional two hands to use for counting?
  • frankwbrown

    So, you already have four hands?

    Wouldn't two hands suffice if you counted in base 6 or even base 5?

    Although I used to be able to count in base 2 and base 16 in high school, isn't it amazing how quickly those skills go away when not used in everyday life?

    Aren’t I allowed to use my feet?? Or are toes not allowed for counting?

    You certainly are, but while I wondered if you could/would, wouldn't I personally have difficulty wiggling my toes in such a controlled manner?
    But can you imagine using a finger to point to each toe in sequence, then switching to another finger to continue counting again with the same toes, then a third finger, and so on?

    If I were to try that counting method, can you imagine which finger I'd likely hold up? 😎
