Well, that's YOUR opinion.

[Vilu Daskar]

And clearly it's only my opinion that matters.

[James Gryphon]

Prove it.

Just 950-something to go!

[Eulaliaaa!]

This should be easy....

[James Gryphon]

Exactly!

[Eulaliaaa!]

We just need to be posting pointless posts that are quick to type.
Ex:
Post 1: blub
Post 2: hi
Post 3: bye
Post 4: ok

See? I've got this whole conversation planned out 

[James Gryphon]

Exactly!

x = 14,314 bottles of non-alcoholic carbonated beverage on the wall,
x number of bottles of non-alcoholic carbonated beverage.
Take 1 down, pass it around,
x - 1 bottles of non-alcoholic carbonated beverage on the wall.

[LT Sandpaw]

Free style!

[James Gryphon]

Exactly!

Pseudo-code:

song: {
x = (15,000 - num_replies)
PRINT x "bottles of non-alcoholic carbonated beverage on the wall,"
PRINT x "number of bottles of non-alcoholic carbonated beverage!"
PRINT "Take 1 down, pass it around,"
x = x -1
PRINT "x bottles of non-alcoholic carbonated beverage on the wall." }
song jump

Hm, programing isn't my strong point, what does the x = x -1 do?

[James Gryphon]

Well, this isn't actual code in any language that I know, so it wouldn't do anything no matter where you typed it in. The idea is to redefine the value of the variable x to be one less than the current value of x, so that when the last line calls for x, it gets the new, lower number.
