bar1990 next up
Don't tell my wife 🤫
Well that helped some....
The whole point is to just enjoy the game!
Awesome!
I just checked, and at my current rate, I will become a member of this prestigious club in just under 90 years.
Apparently, tomorrow is my 8 year anniversary here. It took me seven years of unlimited people able to leg posts to get to where I am, and I'm assuming it has slowed down dramatically. So, minimum another 32 years. Another 64 seems far more likely.
When I get older losing my hair
Many years from now
Will I be in the hundred thousand club
Cheering football games at the pub
If I'd been out till quarter to three
Singing Hokie songs
Will you still need me, will you still feed me
When I'm sixty-four
You'll be older too
And if you say the word
I could cheer with you
I could be clever writing a line
when you need a laugh
You can watch a game by the fireside
Saturday mornings, show Hokie pride
Bashing the Wahoos, trashing the Canes
Who could ask for more
Will you still need me, will you still feed me
When I'm sixty four
-- based on when I'm 64, The Beatles
Age 64 is only 5 years away for me! Hoping to maybe make the game at Arizona September of that year!
(and maybe finally Wisconsin 2 years later in 2031! LOL)
Right behind you buddy.
I've only got 94k to go! At this rate, I'll prob be there by the year 2100.
Reminds me of the O Brother Where Art Thou scene where Pete is pissed and says he'll be 84 years old after his new sentence of 50 more years for the escape. Delmar gets excited and says "well I'll only be 82"
Same for me, but I did just notice upon looking at the big board that I have ascended to #101, just 26 legs from making it onto the front (top 100) page. 😉
Then again...it's all probably because of all the folks who fell by the wayside when we went TKPC comments only.....
Congratulations, Key!
Meanwhile, Alum is a mere 3500-ish from renewing his membership with 200k
It's only because you people are on this site too much /s
(No one pay attention to the fact that TKP is by far my most visited website and I still am way down the leg leaderboard)
The difference between #1 (Alum) and #187 (me) is astounding.
Based on Turkey Leg count I'm an ESPN Top 300 recruit. Good enough for me
Just looked at my spot, and goddamn is there a delta. I've been on the site since 2012, am a daily user (those I don't post as often) and am just shy of 17000. 100k is wild
that year off I took really did a number on my leg count, along with being gone for about half of 2021
I refuse to upvote Alum for some one else's accomplishment! But congrats VT Key
Seriously!
Y'all, appreciate the up votes, but when Vtkey finally steps in we better make that sumbich plaid.
Or we down vote him and have another thread next week
Hilarious!
Alum07 is way ahead of me in both counts. Without downvoting, I may have made it last year, and I'm pretty sure he'd be a three time member.
Hell, I have mini/micro celebrations just when my comments turn green. That's when I get a Ron Burgundy vibe and think...Man......
It will be 10 years before I hit 10,000 legs. 100,000 legs????....GTFOH
You talking about your kids "that i know of" will always get a leg from me!
Getting recognized from a previous made comment from one of the TKP "Select 6" of the Leg Board is like receiving an autographed jersey from Magic or Bird.
I mean.....talk about a Ron Burgundy moment!!!!
It's only proper to return the leg. Here's one for you, Oh Great Mighty Chumps.
i am literally just a guy
A guy who is great to meet at football games!
It felt good being the one to turn your comment green
You made it go Burgundy.
If you two TKPed harder you'd know french is in the club too and Joe is next closest. For some reason, the staff accounts dont show on the big board.
Anyway, welcome vtkey!
Womp Womp
So I'm officially 007 in the club?
Cool.
Ah I remember back in the day when I was in the top 25. Probably around 2014. I will never sniff that again.
Congrats Key, that is prestigious. (Among our group at least 😊)
Somebody needs to calculate the amount of calories in all them legs.
Concensus on a quick google search shows a giant turkey leg to be around 1135 calories with 54g of fat and 152g of protein. So at 100,000 legs we are looking at:
113.5 million calories
5.4 metric tons of fat
15.2 metric tons of protein
so basically what skippybpm has eaten in peanut butter
last year...
Based on the rough calcs in my below post, that would be 109,000 plus calories per DAY which at approx 3500 calories per pound would mean gaining about 30lb/day(assuming base calories to maintain weight at 2-3k depending on activity level. Full disclosure -I weigh about 195 lbs not 10,950(though interestingly the numbers 'resemble' each other with a few extra zeroes-ok maybe 'curiously' is better than 'interestingly' lol)
*faint sound of someone updating spreadsheet*
Love the mention-thanks.
At roughly 2650 calories per pound times 15,000 pounds of Skippy, it comes to just under 40,000,000 calories.
Only 45 more and a couple moves of the decimal point and I am there.....
Congrats Vtkey!
I was pleasantly surprised to see me in the top 500 despite just lurking the first 8 or so years on here lol
871 for me! This is like golf right, lowest score wins?
Checked the board, kind of shocked I have made it to 40k.
Welcome, my esteemed friend, to the ranks of the upper crust, far removed from the riffraff and rabble that toil below. Here, we stand in our rightful place, elevated above the common throng.
Kept seeing this as " elevated above the common thong" lol.
The Dowager Countess would never allow that!
I am not sure I want to see a common thong.
I prefer unique thongs.
The quality of the thong matters much less than the canvass it is displayed upon
Touché.
Now you guys are splitting hairs.
LMFAO- leg for you!!
Well, we'd certainly like to be.
Always happy (an feel the most "TKPish") when I have the privilege of starting a semi-lengthy sub-thread way OT from the initial post topic.
He is officially the 6th member of this club following hokies07ME, gobble gobble chumps, Hokie Fireman, VTGuitarMan, and myself.
Wow, guys, thanks! I'm absolutely in esteemed company. Thanks to Alum07 for noticing the milestone.
I like what Joe and this community have built here. A place where Hokies and Hokie fans can acknowledge and follow the team we love, while enjoying the highs and commiserating over the lows of Hokie sports. The quality of the articles by French, Moss, Marcolini, itrepeter, as well as the commentary here is truly exceptional. Also you guys (and girls) keep me laughing non-stop.
I look forward to my custom jacket and free year of membership!
If only the Iditarod could be run every other month or so, I'd be up there.
Dude, on the big board, you're the most glaring outlier. You've only been here since the week before covid, and you're over 20k and in the top 100. You're killing it.
I.e. Frosty has too much time on his hands!
J/K Chris!
