All bets need witnesses

[raven]

I had a long entry typed - but thanks to the intrinsic bloody-mindedness of the Internet Explorer, I've lost it.
I don't want to type it again. It mostly consisted of how things are better in the morning. They are.
Anyway, snowdrop24 and I have been having a civilised argument, about our respective hit counters. I think hers goes up faster than mine, she thinks mine goes up faster than hers.

ShippyLittleKitten: brb, hit counter checking
ShippyLittleKitten: 1271 - front page
Raven: *nods* mine went over 1500 yesterday, that's all I know.
ShippyLittleKitten: 1602 for yours
ShippyLittleKitten: *grrr*
Raven: why?!
ShippyLittleKitten: becuase yours goes up so quickly!

Then followed a period of me moaning because my journal entry was wiped, and then:

ShippyLittleKitten: mine...1703
Raven: see! yours is always above mine....
ShippyLittleKitten: no!
Raven: yes it is!
ShippyLittleKitten: it won't be for long! yours goes up a couple of hundred a day!

Then followed me trying my best to argue my case:

Raven: that's not true!
ShippyLittleKitten: is!
ShippyLittleKitten: mine has gone up....about 40 in a day
Raven: isn't!
ShippyLittleKitten: yours had gone up 100!

But the proof's in the pudding.

ShippyLittleKitten: anyway - i bet you anything your hit counter will reach 2000 before mine
Raven: I'll take that bet. If I lose, I'll imitate a coffee percolator.
ShippyLittleKitten: *stops self before turning this conversation into another did/didn't/cruvus conversation*
ShippyLittleKitten: hmm
ShippyLittleKitten: what do i have to do?
Raven: um.... *thinks* imitate a washing machine.
ShippyLittleKitten: oh god!
ShippyLittleKitten: how?
Raven: I leave that to your discretion.

It's a safe bet. I can't possibly lose.

how will you know when either of you pass the 2000 mark?
i mean what happens if you are both past it? how will you know who past it first?
and plus. i really want to see you be a coffee percolator.
except what is a coffee percolator???
