Some additional tips for guessing the right time:
As I've said, I'm on vacation until Fri 6 Sep 23:00 EDT.
My wife started a new job - she goes to bed before 11pm and wakes up a little after 6am on weekdays.  She stays up later and sleeps in on weekends.
I'm pretty much on her schedule while I'm on vacation, because she's NOT on vacation.

...except for the fact that Eastern Standard Time (EST) doesn't begin until 2am on the first Sunday of November...

Your guess would be passed, anyway, but it would have been 25 Aug 2013 03:22:24.  I was sleeping at the time.  You did read that I'm on a day schedule until Friday 6 Sep?  It was the post right before this one!  :))

Only 23 posts to go...  I'll probably hit before the end of Thursday...  Maybe even Wednesday...

What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch? I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I’ve been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I’m the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You’re fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that’s just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little “clever” comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You’re fucking dead, kiddo.
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

dang don you shot up your post rate today.

That's because a) I was away from the keyboard for a weekend and b) Maskedfreakinabox and I were playing post tag for a while last night - "I posted, you're it; now I posted, you're it; etc."

And THIS IS MY 10,000TH POST!  I'll have to edit it after I post it to determine the winner.

EDIT:

For the under, John B. is the winner with a guess of 08/27/13 10:24:29.

For the over, John B. is ALSO the winner, with a guess of 08/27/13 14:35:00!  Helps to guess early and often, right?  :))

According to the rules, this means that since there's only one winner with the guesses, the other winner is determined by a random drawing of all the participants - one entry per person.  I'll take care of that and post the results in the next post...

BTW: I'm feeling generous, so BOTH winners will receive a WalMart two-deck Rider Back set!  For those who don't remember the topic on it, this is a two-deck set of standard Bicycle Rider Backs made especially for WalMart in late 2011, sold out at some point in early 2012.  The cards are 100% standard, but the box is unique - the back of the box has the "Standard" box front on it, while the front of the box has the Bicycle logo printed landscape style to match the color of the deck (red or blue).  All the other surfaces of the box are standard in appearance.  The sets were cellophane-wrapped with the decks side-by-side, allowing the buyer to see both sides of the deck box - the decks aren't individually wrapped.  It's not an exceptionally rare model, but it is unique, was made in limited quantities and has been sold out for roughly a year, making it perfect for the completist collector.  Or you can just crack 'em open and play with 'em...  :))

John B. - I probably have your address but it would be faster if you gave it to me again via PM and let me know if you want autographs on each unwrapped deck, an autograph on the sealed set or no autograph.

Welcome to post 10,001 - the post in which my post rank should change from Bishop of Aether to whatever's next.

As you can see from the screen grab below, The Quadfather is the winner of the random draw.  Didn't expect to have an overseas winner, but that fine as long as you don't mind getting the package 1st Class instead of Priority Mail.  PM me.

I would have laughed my ass off if you won.

Btw, congrats, Don!

I think you broke the rank bar. You're still a Bishop of Aether.
