yay, my first first!
very nicely put together
All I can think of is letters that are taller than the rest or extend below the rest but that is getting me nowhere.
pretty quiet out here. talk to us KoolKow
[2] I was working that same line with every possible order and using the numbers I see for counting, but just come up with gibberish.
There are also eight words and eight numbers.
Got nothing so far.
Each word is ten letters long too.
I have seven words that meet my interpretation of the first half of the quote and 4 of these meet my interpretation of the second half of the quote, and all I get is junk when I try to apply any of the numbers.
Yes, very nice!
[2] and [4] are on the right track. There are some key words in the quotation.
Woohoo! Top 5 is a first for me!

SALT:
The quote tells you what to pay attention to. Thanks [5] for pointing out the eight words and eight numbers.
It took you 38 minutes and 23 seconds to solve this puzzle.
You were the 7th Tanga member to solve this puzzle.
Average solve time: 22 minutes and 53 seconds.
Median solve time: 16 minutes and 17 seconds
Use the second half of the quote to sort the words then apply the numbers.
9th, in 4:53. And yes, many thanks to [5].
I spent way too much time looking at the Ts, because they "cross the line."
[13] Please tell me I didn't just waste an hour on that.
Oy. Finally got it. Thanks [13] for forcing me to change my thinking.

Rats, would have been in top 10 if not for that darned phone call that interrupted me!
eh, 22nd for me, not too shabby. I figured out how to organize the words easily enough but for some reason it took me forever to figure out what to do next. I think my brain just shut off for a bit. Really, fairly standard puzzle but very nicely done.
[14] I had long ago realized that there were 8 words and 8 numbers, but I spent almost 40 minutes using the Ts and 2 numbers with each of those 4 words.
[17] Same here. And then with the specific order of numbers given, I was certain they were actually four sets of two numbers with one signifying which letter and the other which word (like X letter of word X), which actually ended up making a bunch of real words, depending on the order.
Yikes, it hurt to find out I was that far off. I just got pwned.
Not bad. I started down the wrong "cross" road as well and needed a bit of salt to get on the right path.
Finally got it (stopped to watch a movie and think a bit) with salt. We were fixated on the single character that both rose above and sunk below the line.
Good Puzzle. Finally got it!!!!!!!!!!!!
Not a bad puzzle tonight. Makes sense.
#11 has it right
Got it!
Would have happened sooner if I could spell...
Once I figured out how to break a tie, it was easy. Thanks Mr. Green for a nice puzzle. I salute you and Jeremiah.
Nifty.

I had some "ups and downs" through this puzzle.
Small bug in the puzzle, determining where to put "thriftshop" and "hallelujah". Beware of it....I had to swap their positions to solve.
