Paul RussellWho Will Be Member 1000?
Thanks for letting us know we can still guess (if we already hadn't) -- I thought guessing was closed...
I pick August 18th at 12:00 PM EST.
Regards,
Paul Russell

TalladegaBradCan my alter-ego take a second shot at this! In fact, I think there are about 7 or 8 of us in here, and they are all clamoring for their own vote!

I've told them that I've already won the contest, and that Harris is waiting for just the right moment to notify me. They don't believe me.

THanks!
thanks

SlyCyhello,
my son Matt helped me set up an account, and showed me the ropes of card talk.
I'm not really into nonsports cards, except autographs, but am being dragged to Comic Con

So I'll post from time to time.
He said make a guess, so i guess i'll say 8/2 at 11:29
thanks

H_ToserHi Stan:
Welcome to Card Talk! I think you and Prezkot may be the first Father and Son team here on Card Talk. We have several Father and Daughter dynamic duos but I can't think of any Father/Son (someone correct me if I'm wrong).
Anyway, would your guess of "8/2 at 11:29" be AM or PM? I gotta be nit-picky, just in case you know!

Plus, it would appear there may be a mother/son dynamic emerging, as Sam now has his own 'box of cards'... :->

WendiWelcome Mr. Prezkot's dad!

FYI - I have a teenage son and all his friends call me Mrs. Jourdan's mom, I think it's kind of funny so I am passing it along!

BCWSo far I haven't posted a guess.
I'm waiting for some more to time-out and then I'll take a guess somewhere between all the rest, hopefully giving me a maximum chance of winning. Of course, if I miss the boat then that's alright. I never win anything in any case.
Harris: what happens if your guess expires, but say the 1000 member joins the next day. Does it automatically go to the next person who's got the closest AFTER the actual date/time, or the person closest BEFORE the actual date/time?

Now there's a good question. I'd personally say closest regardless of before or after, but this is the Harris show

Sheez! Get all technical on me, why don't you?

Actually, I wanted to explain that in the first post but it never quite sounded right. It's the closest period! So if you guess Monday....1000 joins Tuesday.....and the next guess after your guess is Friday.....You win!
That, is of course, the 1000th member hasn't already joined and I am sitting on it.

Because he could. Round here he's the "Big Cheese", the "Head Honcho", "Numero Uno", "El Presidenté".
But more importantly, he could, in fact, just be evil incarnate [insert devil smiley here]

As it happens, I came up with rather an interesting theory on this... what if the person who guessed correctly is going to the San Diego Card Talk Meeting? It would be a great opportunity to present them with a trophy and a prize...
Harris? Any truth to this or is it true that you are Evil Incarnate???

The MouseketeerHas anyone else noticed that the announcement for the contest is now absent from the main Card Talk page? Makes you wonder...
