Hey wait a sec by johnny (4.00 / 1) #4 Tue Jan 01, 2008 at 06:46:17 PM EST

was that lunch bet over finishing a PDF or finishing a real actual book? If the latter, count not chickens before they are hatched, a wise man said to me, which I proffer to you as advice in the friendliest of voices.

Of course, statistics-wise, things are looking pretty good for you, since your book is formatted and mine ain't even all the way writ yet. But c'est la vie say the old folks, it goes to show you never can tell. Like Bluto said in his famous Animal House St. Crispin's day exhortation, "Did we give up when the Nazis bombed Pearl Harbor? NO!" In other words, remember Man o' War and the 1980 US men's olympic hockey team. DO YOU BELIEVE IN MIRACLES?!?!?!!?
Buy my books, dammit!

it's on! by Kellnerin (4.00 / 2) #6 Tue Jan 01, 2008 at 07:12:59 PM EST

I don't recall the exact original bet, but I've no doubt it was vaguely if not downright badly formulated. So, to make it all official and stuff, I propose the following finish lines:

For johnny: to write the damn thing and have it posted in its entirety online
For Kellnerin: to have the book available for sale, as a real physical thing, via Lulu.com

First to reach hizzer goal gets the free meal. Not forgetting the all-important loser-comes-with-pencil-in-hair clause. Deal?

no hair, mine will be on a lanyard decorated in Unitarian motifs.
There, that ought to be enough to spur me.
Buy my books, dammit!
