Now, nobody else post on this thread. This will confirm penultimacy upon Annie's post.

The penultimate step in the approach for the Long Jump is crucial for better jumping.

I'm surprised that nobody had congratulated Moose. I don't know if it was your effervescent dignity or just winning the OSC triva contest, but nice work on getting some formal recognition.

Irami,

You just turned the original Moose & Squirrel congratulatory thread into the penultimate congratulatory thread.

Curses. And I would have gotten away with it, too, if not for you meddling kids.

Well, at least now you can have the satisfaction of having the penultimate post in this thread, Matt... that is, if no one else interferes....

Oh no! Is this going to turn into a next-to-last post thread? [ROFL]

So, the goal is to be second to last, right?

Only idiots would answer E. You can't be the first and second child. Unless you have some odd psychiatric disorder. . . which I'm not saying isn't possible, but. . . [Wink]

Well, in rethinking it, I suppose in a blended family you could be the first and second, but that's kinda cheating. Mom's first child and penultimate child, dad's second and middle child and all. Yeah, that's just cheating. [Razz]
