What the flock?

The sheepishness index is interesting. Lots of baaaaa-d boys.

Some of us, like me, are part of the flock because we shamelessly crib ideas from the board (and, therefore, the contestants).

I hereby thank you all for those ideas, without any shred of apology.

I said thank you, not I'm sorry - the difference is meaningful.

Looking at the list, I have to conclude that some flockers "flock" because they are well respected posters who post early, often and consistently about their ideas and their track record is well respected, leading to a lot of contestants glomming onto their picks.

With apologies to snakeman84 and melstob, who are even more sheepish than hweb, hweb at #3 on the sheep parade stands out as an example of someone that drives a lot of other contestants' picks. What is the sheep equivalent of a bell cow? Hweb, methinks!

snakeman84 and melstob--no offense intended at all! I hope for your sake your are as good a stock picker as hweb is. I'm simply guessing that harry (hweb), caused more people to pick one of his favs than you guys did, and therefore ended up "sheepish" by being an opinion leader, odd as that may seem.

I hereby dub Hweb "E. F. Mutton". :)

Sheep-up, ya mutha-flockers! :)

We're gonna flock around the clock tonight...We're gonna flock, flock, flock till the broad day light--and then we'll do it again since the markets are closed on Monday.
