FYCTH #1000!!!
Four Your Consideration - Treasure Hunt
Seán Sez: Vote or die! 
 --> Put any five reviews you like in your F.Y.C. list.
 --> Do not use reviews from the previous round - you must change them every round.
--> Post here to declare that you've done it. Sooner is better than later.
 --> Provide a spoiler warning in your post when appropriate.
 --> You must read the F.Y.C.s of all participants.
 --> The next round starts on Monday or Thursday at noon, FWFR time, whichever comes next.
It's not quite ten years later (some inconsiderate person didn't design the earth's orbit to give us a nice round number of weeks in a year) but it's getting there. For those who weren't there or want a nostalgia visit here's FYCTH #0001. (It says Round 2 but that's because Round 2 was added to the end of the thread, from Round 3 a new thread was started each time.)
So I guess it shows that it was a good invention! If people are still writing reviews then they probably like a bit of exposure for their reviews, so they enter FYCTH. Let's see if we can get another thousand rounds in! And a special welcome back to those who've been absent for a while.

When I volunteered to start FYCTH #1000 I'd forgotten that the start time had changed to noon FWFR-time, which happens to be 1.00a.m. NZ time! I'll be asleep by then. So we're a little early...
Anyway here'a a bunch of old favourites. Regulars/old-timers will likely have seen these. |

Thanks, Sean! I think we can live with this round being a little longer than usual. Perhaps we should make it a one-week special?
Whatever happens with the site in the future, how great that we have got this far. 
You can read the first thread and most others in this list, which a computer malfunction interrupted but I'm still going to update sometime. |

Lemmy in for monumental #1000.
A thousand glosses:
I used to think that Lon Chaney was the only “Man of a Thousand Faces”.
Music Hall performer George Layman, a generation before Lon Chaney, was known as The Man of a Thousand Faces and was captured on Edison’s Kinetoscope by Dickson in 1894.
http://www.victorian-cinema.net/bertoldi (see last paragraph)
A Thousand Acres is adapted from Jane Smiley’s novel which is inspired by King Lear.
In the flop A Thousand Words, after an encounter with a spiritual guru, Eddie Murphy realizes that he has to stop talking. A lot of mugging ensues.
Wayne Wang’s A Thousand Years of good Prayers is his homage to the acclaimed Japanese director Ozu.

| Y'know something? Hats off to Benj for keeping the entire forum archived! There are not many sites where you can see what you and others were up to in 2004 without plumbing the Wayback Machine. |

I have no idea/ memory how to do the whizzy-link thing. It was probably FYCTH #350 or so when I last took part.
So taking a leaf out of Koli's book ( smart piece of lateral thinking there dude)
<------ Please click on me over here-ish
This is a bunch of zeros in various styles, alliterative, a pun, trying to be clever, etc. Lets face it, I have a big collection of zeros to choose from 
Anyhoo, now to start the voting ... |
