windpoacher Posted May 30, 2011 Report Share Posted May 30, 2011 Eli, pray for #861. Eli, John is a little out of it due to excessive tequila consumption in Mexico. What he meant to say was your subscriber number is 861, but pray for #477 to be drawn. Cheers and welcome to the rabbit hole, Tom Tequila.......Mexico.......Good point!!!!.......Tom!!!

Duane I was amazed: Googing { alice in wonderland kite } gets over 3 million hits. I wonder what they are all about. Kites are never mentioned in the book itself. I try to read the book every year or so; there is a lot to find in that book - something new every time I read it. Get an original-style copy; the John Tenniel illustrations are FAR superior to the Disnified pictures in modern versions. For a treat, try Martin Gardner's Annotated Alice and More Annotated Alice - all kinds of information you never knew about the things in Alice. Power kite, power kite, power kite....

When things get this strange..."I always pay very close attention!" I ordered the books suggested...I never read them...but, I will be! heehee!! Keep It Up!

hyzakite Posted June 7, 2011 Report Share Posted June 7, 2011 Just wondering with these drawings how do I find my subscription number and does anyone win with 4 digit numbers, which i think i have? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeepster Posted June 7, 2011 Report Share Posted June 7, 2011 Hey John, I'm going to be off the grid for a week, so just hold the kite until I get back and I'll send you my address. Give my thanks to the RNG please. Cheers, Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
--Pete Posted June 7, 2011 Report Share Posted June 7, 2011 Jeep, see you when you get back. Hyzakite, any active subscriber (which you are) has an equal chance. If you were to look at a list of past winners, you might think 4-digit numbers were unluckier, but that is simply because there are fewer OF them (proportionately) at the moment. In a couple of decades, when the subscriber numbers are approaching 10,000, it will be the three-digit numbers that seem unlucky. Power kite, power kite, power kite...

John Barresi Posted June 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2011 hyzakite, your number is #830 (got you by 3 Pete!)... Sorry, the forum doesn't generate that data so it's based on my manual list here in the office. Our latest subscriber is #872 so we've not yet reached 4-digits, although we'd certainly love to see that day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
--Pete Posted June 7, 2011 Report Share Posted June 7, 2011 Ahh. I thought you HAD reached 4 digits. Well, here's hoping for that first 4-digit number soon, and 10,000 sometime (reasonably) soon thereafter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hyzakite Posted June 8, 2011 Report Share Posted June 8, 2011 Now wait a minute while I try to digest this number thing,, Pete is 833, I'm 830, the latest is 872, I want that dentist in Tijuana!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
photomom Posted June 8, 2011 Report Share Posted June 8, 2011 Only two more days until we find who will be the next person to bust his butt with this kite. For once, I hope it's not me. Of course, I could give it to my son-in-law. LOL Naw, that wouldn't be fair to my daughter. kjm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SO, you joined in January, Pete joined in February, so Petes number is higher then yours. Ad John has conned, sorry no, that is not the right word. Forced, no still not right OK so quite a few nice folks have taken up membership since Pete, and all the time the chances of my nubmbers spitting out as first from the RNG is geing smaller. For goodness sakes folks, stop joining. At this rate I will have to take anothe membership out. John, you know I dont realy mean it, about folks not joining, and the conned, forced thing. Almost time to press that button, or whatever it is you do to make the grumpy old RNG spit into life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
