Alright, Gather. You Asked for It!

After last week's monumental effort to whore me up to 3000 points, I have been informed that because it took longer than "a calendar month" to amass said total, I would not be invited to redeem it for cash.

 

I have, therefore, decided to upgrade my status from streetwalker to call girl. I'm still soliciting orange boxes, but I'll also be making outcalls by posting meaningless comments on as many articles as I can get to in a working day.  I will also keep a running total throughout the day, posted as new articles, for as long as it takes. Algorithm that, Gather!

Your certainly welcome to post meaningless comments on anything I write. It adds a surreal tone.
Auntie Smedley Sep 29, 2006, 12:32pm EDT
Dame, the solution is so simple! You just need more Gatherfluff™ in your diet! Go ahead, you know you want to. Join the group, post some fluff, your point totals will be looking hearty & hale in no time, guaranteed!
Lori Cee Sep 29, 2006, 1:26pm EDT
be afraid, gather! be VERY afraid!
Madame Donna C. Sep 29, 2006, 1:53pm EDT
Dame Ruth, please abuse my articles. I would be honored.
Dame Ruth, Chief Executive Elitist D. Sep 29, 2006, 2:04pm EDT
Nippy, you were among my first calls.
Auntie, just joined. Will add Gatherfluff on an edited version of this.
You tell 'em, Lori.
Be right over, Donna.
Kevin Weeks Sep 29, 2006, 2:18pm EDT
Jeez, I think you're a swell Dame, so here's comment and a 10 point rating.
♯ ♪ Sep 29, 2006, 2:27pm EDT
I'll stalk you and give you 10 points for anything you write if you do the same for me. ;-)
Melissa V. Sep 29, 2006, 3:02pm EDT
Go get 'em!!! You're welcome to comment on what little I've written! :)
Sonia M. Sep 29, 2006, 3:14pm EDT
I love it!
Here is a 10!
Amy S. Sep 29, 2006, 3:33pm EDT
I just joined gather, Dame, so I'm still clueless about these gather points. But here's what I'm NOT clueless about: whoring oneself up and posting meaningless commentary. I am all for effing with entire systems, as well. It helps pass the time. Ten stars from me, another orange box for you, and good luck! Self-pimpers unite! :-)
Dame Ruth, Chief Executive Elitist D. Sep 29, 2006, 3:42pm EDT
Amy, you're my kind of broad. But I have a pimp. Sandy (whatever her middle name is today) Knaur volunteered to "represent" me on my first attempt (see my article, "This is my first time, so please be gentle"
http://www.gather.com/viewArticle.jsp?articleId=281474976798244
If you hurry, you might be the 200th commentator on that thread. And you're not the only one who is clueless about the point system here. NOBODY understands it. But welcome, anyhow.
Cindy Kelly Sep 29, 2006, 3:47pm EDT
I don't understand the point thing either. :|
Sandy (Site Psychic™) Knauer Sep 29, 2006, 3:52pm EDT
I'll even make it easy for you. The following are short and fun:

Tate Wiggled

Are Those Spots On Gramma's Face

Broken Spirit and Splintered Dreams

Granny Rap
John B. Sep 29, 2006, 4:35pm EDT
Gather better check out who thye are screwing with. Go get'en Ruth, Ya got my 10.
Jiya S. Sep 29, 2006, 4:52pm EDT
More power (and points!) to you! And feel free to post random thoughts on all my stuff, too.
Dannielle S. Sep 29, 2006, 5:30pm EDT
Dame, do stop by for a visit! I've just redecorated, with a bit of fluff, two new images, and two book reviews, striving to achieve a sort of Cyber Chic. I'd so love to know what you think of my namespace, dear!
Dame Ruth, Chief Executive Elitist D. Sep 29, 2006, 5:32pm EDT
Hannah, what a buddy I have in you! I'll bestow points upon you, too! (sorry, just got back from Sandy's "Granny rap".)
Sandy (Site Psychic™) Knauer Sep 29, 2006, 5:33pm EDT
I'm back with more. Sentimental stuff this time.

Let It Be

Let's Dance

Return To Yesterday
libramoon C. Sep 29, 2006, 5:34pm EDT
Let me point out that the point of this exercise is that she really does have a point, and pointing this in the right direction earns pints of points infused with enthusiam.
Sandy (Site Psychic™) Knauer Sep 29, 2006, 5:35pm EDT
And I hate to be picky, Ruth, but I don't see a body part mentioned in this article.
Dame Ruth, Chief Executive Elitist D. Sep 29, 2006, 5:39pm EDT
Penis. Okay?
Sonia M. Sep 29, 2006, 5:43pm EDT
Oh, darn.......will it be flagged now?
Dame Ruth, Chief Executive Elitist D. Sep 29, 2006, 5:47pm EDT
Not if nobody narcs.
Ladybounty ~. Sep 29, 2006, 5:56pm EDT
Ohhhhh I gotta get in on this rebel point accumulation......
Here's a 10 from me and I'll be back!!!!!!!
Edward Nudelman Sep 29, 2006, 6:07pm EDT
hey, I got one on one of my poems... best comment of the day!
Sonia M. Sep 29, 2006, 6:46pm EDT
I feel slighted..................:-(
Joan R. Sep 29, 2006, 7:22pm EDT
Ruth, I give you a ten just for your spunkiness.
Carolyn K. Sep 29, 2006, 9:26pm EDT
Boy what some people won't do for a few points!
Dame Ruth, Chief Executive Elitist D. Sep 29, 2006, 9:34pm EDT
Oh, like you wouldn't give anything to get a meaningless comment from me!
Sandy (Site Psychic™) Knauer Sep 29, 2006, 9:39pm EDT
That's true, Carolyn. Today, I saw a knock-knock joke, a *list* of presidents, a *list* of senators, an article written by a man who didn't have time to write it so he will be back another time to finish and clean up his errors, an "article" by someone who thought she'd write but didn't feel like it so she's just checking in to say hi, an announcement about a moonlight madness sale somewhere, a *list* of things in a circus, more freebies, a couple of articles by someone pretending to be a child, another unoriginal joke, an old list that has been circulated via email spam for years and now we get to see it published on Gather, two more jokes someone's daugther came home from school with, a *list* of things that might help stomach aches, a couple of questions of the day, a number of free sample offers - each posted as a separate article...
Dame Ruth, Chief Executive Elitist D. Sep 29, 2006, 9:45pm EDT
But what were you doing reading all that (choose your own noun)? Did you at least drop links to me while you were there, Oh pimp of mine?
Joan R. Sep 29, 2006, 9:47pm EDT
ruth, ruth, ruth ... (should I have put that in three posts?)
Sandy (Site Psychic™) Knauer Sep 29, 2006, 9:51pm EDT
It doesn't exactly take a lot of 'reading'. Those "articles" are one line each, most of them. Being the kind, resourceful person I am, I thought I'd help out and post a list of senators and presidents for those who don't have google on their computers so they could write the real article about their favorite president or senator.
Cheri D. Sep 29, 2006, 9:59pm EDT
ok, fine, i'm a point virgin...anybody care to pop that?????

i've got drivel, i've got rhythm..i've got 86 points, but, who gives a dammed anywhere?????

Singin, just singin...in the rain...LOL
John B. Sep 29, 2006, 10:02pm EDT
more points
Sandra L. Sep 29, 2006, 10:36pm EDT
Dame,
Do you have a point menu for your whoring?
Sandra L. Sep 29, 2006, 10:37pm EDT
How many points does one get for a limerick?
Sandra L. Sep 29, 2006, 10:38pm EDT
Or a radical article on which is better, regular or decaf?
Sandra L. Sep 29, 2006, 10:40pm EDT
Do you drink while you are whoring for points?
Dame Ruth, Chief Executive Elitist D. Sep 29, 2006, 11:31pm EDT
Sandra: Yes. Four. Three and a half. No.
Dame Ruth, Chief Executive Elitist D. Sep 29, 2006, 11:34pm EDT
Joan... hell, yes.
Ladybounty ~. Sep 30, 2006, 8:30am EDT
Good
Ladybounty ~. Sep 30, 2006, 8:35am EDT
Morning
Ladybounty ~. Sep 30, 2006, 8:44am EDT
Dame!
Sonia M. Sep 30, 2006, 12:10pm EDT
Wow.....she did come by my namespace........!

Plug my article begging Gather to allow blocking by member name when scanning the Recent Articles list.
Dear Gather Please Add A New Filter Option For The Recent Articles List
Cena W. Sep 30, 2006, 1:55pm EDT

Dame Ruth, Chief Executive Elitist D. Sep 30, 2006, 2:48pm EDT
Thank you Cena... Just got back from your place.
Rev. Gretel... Only if you join my Pray for Atheism group. And we love you, too. I'll be there with a M.C. soon.
Dannielle S. Sep 30, 2006, 4:21pm EDT
I'm back, Dame.
Dannielle S. Sep 30, 2006, 4:22pm EDT
Hope these comments get you the points you need for the month!
Today's Illusion Sep 30, 2006, 5:15pm EDT
Is it just me or has Gather made it harder to post 2 or 3 comments, one after another?
Today's Illusion Sep 30, 2006, 5:17pm EDT
It is fast to post the first comment,
Very slow to get a second one on.
Indigo Blue Oct 1, 2006, 6:41pm EDT
You are inspiring. Maybe someday I, too, will reach 3,000 points.

Did I, put all, commas in their proper, places, in the previous sentence?
Dame Ruth, Chief Executive Elitist D. Oct 1, 2006, 7:16pm EDT
Indigo... First two sentences, perfect. Third one, not so much. But thanks for caring.
zzzzzzz ZZZZZZZ starless night Oct 1, 2006, 9:03pm EDT
Pretending? That can be found within all youthful hearts.

I pulled a penny from the piggy bank to put in the orange box for you.
Jiya S. Oct 3, 2006, 5:33pm EDT
More for your daily dose of points.
