LUNA-TICS TEAM ROOM: Year-round "Looney" fun.

[Edscapade]

Whoop, whoop and what an amazing streak of milestones! Ed's generating his own celebration party just about every week with his additions to his meter vault! Guessing that he will have generated enough meters by June for the around the equator milestone (that I think only David A and Richard T can claim at the moment). Congratulations, Ed, on achieving an EIGHT million meter erging season! We wish you many, MANY more milestones! And we thought he was taking more time for golf...

Thanks Kona!!! Golf is at a halt raining unbelievably here, more than ever. Course is a big pond... can't play so getting some meters in. Will miss one day traveling Wednesday. Golfing Pebble, Spyglasss end of week, and wife surprised me with afternoon at Cyprus after Spyglass. I'm sooooo looking forward to it!

wooooooooo hooooooooo and congrats :] hummmmmmmm...not sprinkles because here they are called jimmies :}

[Kona2]

EIGHT THOUSAND participants! WOW!

Ah, the lure of free loot! The Erging Universe has topped 8,000 participants in the 5K a day bunch (54 Lunies), and 3,200 participants in the 10K a day bunch (37 Lunies). The more days you "play", the greater your chances of making the winners list! Make no mistake...you are WORKING for this stuff, especially as the days tick by...and you want to take a day off...

Sprinkles vs jimmies...apparently a debate! Who knew!? I'd not heard of jimmies (are only the chocolate, rat doodie ones, jimmies?). At least the Leprechaun Names produced some new learning for me - other than the knowledge that Lunies silently prefer their shamrocks and pots of gold. Snort. Team entertainment is an inexact science. Hahahaha.

Man, Master Ed. Keep on rock'n. You are the best!
Fishing is a good thing too right? I mean one never knows what one might find around the 9th hole.

Have an amazing time.

Hmm, which name is better? Well I do have eyes that don't see. hahahaha
K2, you always bring a smile to my face. Thank you for all you do.

... At least the Leprechaun Names produced some new learning for me - other than the knowledge that Lunies silently prefer their shamrocks and pots of gold. Snort. Team entertainment is an inexact science. Hahahaha.

The Leprechaun Names chart also produced some riotous fun for the 6 y/o, who figured out the new and hilarious monikers for the entire family ... then for every BFF in her kindergarten class. Shamrocks optional.

Whoop, whoop and good on ya! Congratulations, Andrew, on another milestone in a great rookie year! We wish you MANY, many more!

[Thor MW]

Whoop, whoop and good on ya! Congratulations, Andrew, on another milestone in a great rookie year! We wish you MANY, many more!

Way to rockem Andrew!!!

On another muddy note. I think there will be a lot of people dropping off tomorrow. Not necessarily Lunes as I was just looking at the whole list. A lot of people have 1 day in. I think they can only have 6 days off? So keep on rock'n Lunes and win something.

Have fun.

and yes...i remember cootie catchers

[cwdykstra]

Collin 18,786 m ...king of the meter hill today!

Not really king of the hill, just forgot to log for a couple days. Missed out on my new name, Greenie McMuffin and an ok palindrome day, 6886 meters.

5 of 6 for 5k row days though!

[Kona2]

Day 8 or 9 of 31....and we have 9500 plus participants in the 5K portion of the Challenge! In - cred - i- ble !

A look back at the Concept2 Chronicles shows that the Grand Finale numbers at the end of the 2016 Challenge were pretty good...1251 finishers at the 5K a day level, and 500 at the 10K a day level. And how did the Lunies do last year? 28 finished at the 5K level, and a solid dozen at the 10K level. Right now, we have 57 Lunie participants at the 5K level, and a subset of 38 at the 10K level. So. Sounds like we're in for a precipitous drop in numbers in the next few days...drama!

The Mudness winners list has been updated - and Concept2 is changing it up from previous years with a second 10K day having been awarded already. Still, you NEVER know when these could happen, so best be prepared. No Lunie winners yet...

And just like THAT....3,000 participants were VAPORIZED from the 5K a day list....and 1500 were gone from the 10K a day list. Lunies went from 59 to 50 in the 5K, and 38 to 32 on the 10K a day board. There's been a lessening in the Force...but we are still Lunie strong!
