Count to 10,000 and Down to -10,000

[B-Mental]

I loathe that song, your royal highness, its bad enough with 100 bottles, but 3000, actually doesn't that require you to sing the song 3001 times, ending with "no bottles of beer on the wall?"

[Kelly_Sprout]

Oh man, I missed 3000 by three hours. OK, 3002, but my 3000 was gonna be kewl, referencing MST3K. Oh well, there's always 3535, 6660, 6666, 6969, and others.

[dramasnot6]

Aww i wish I could someday get the cool number like 3000! ahh well , like Kelly Sprout said there are more options. Maybe even 3003 more If i am lucky!

[Miss Darcy]

I wonder what planet earth will be like in year 3004.

[Jean-Baptiste]

I once saw exactly 3005 cats, all at the same time.

[the Last 13]

I saw that too...being chased by 3006 dogs right?

[dramasnot6]

We would have to throw them 3007 bones for a distraction..

[dramasnot6]

I wonder what planet earth will be like in year 3004.

it will probably be 3008 times more polluted!

[Jean-Baptiste]

3009! :argue: Preposterous!

[alhara]

with 3009 more people still insisting we are all gonna die

[B-Mental]

I'm just gonna pretend that you two didn't post at the same time for the 3011th time....

[ktd222]

3012 - the new hip brand name

[B-Mental]

what was wrong with the name of the 3013 previous hips, ktd?

[ktd222]

B-Mental,

studies have been done and found that 3012 most connected with the kids of this generations, 3014 was a close second.

[B-Mental]

oh, I see, I thought you meant they were making bionic hips. Well when they are around for 3 years will they be 3015's?

[Jean-Baptiste]

I'm sure that by then numbers will be entirely passé, and 3016 more studies with have to be conducted before the latest craze is discovered.

[Miss Darcy]

In the year 3017, do you think words will be passé too?

[dramasnot6]

Words? Maybe it will be like 1984 and everyday they will remove another 3018 words from the dictionary....scary thought....

[Raphael]

Why are we speculating about the future?

Is not year 3019 rather distant?

[dramasnot6]

It makes the present more interesting! Who would want to read some boring newspaper when they could indulge in 3020 sci-fi novels! :p :lol:

[ktd222]

3021 polka dots on my shirt

[dramasnot6]

it must have taken you forever to count them! definetly more then 3022 seconds....

[LPRox015]

3023!!! MY NEW FAVORITE NUMBER! Now whenever someone says pick a number I can astonish them with this number! ;) I can see the bewildered looks now! Ha!

[ktd222]

3024 - my area code of the future

[B-Mental]

3023!!! MY NEW FAVORITE NUMBER! Now whenever someone says pick a number I can astonish them with this number! ;) I can see the bewildered looks now! Ha!

I hope you can remember that when someone asks you in another 3025 days.

[dramasnot6]

you might have to remind yourself 3026 times b-mental

[Jean-Baptiste]

You could print off 3027 copies of the number, and strew them all over the place so you'd never be able to forget it.

[dramasnot6]

thatd cause a lot of litter, you might be fined for $3028

[Jean-Baptiste]

If you save up, you might be able to afford even a $3029 fine.

[dramasnot6]

I have trouble saving money, it will probably take me 3030 days to do that!

[B-Mental]

If you don't pay your fine promptly you could go to jail for 3031 days.

[dramasnot6]

I could probably escape in 3032 seconds!

[dramasnot6]

but then I may have to go for another 3033 days if caught :(............

[the Last 13]

I doubt it what with the 3034 other convicts who would have escaped with you

[dramasnot6]

Yea, but if they discover it was me who let everyone out I would get 3035 times more punishment!

[the Last 13]

perhaps you'd have to share your cell with the other inmates...and possible accomplice......with 3036 people in your cell things might become awkward

[B-Mental]

if you include the guard you would have to say 'Goodnight.' 3037 times.

[dramasnot6]

hmm you all make good points. i would probably get sick of the prison food after MUCH FEWER meals then 3038........

[dramasnot6]

i curse 3039 times that i have to go back to work now!! grrrr

[Lily Adams]

Cursing going back to work will give you 3040 years of bad luck, though! (I guess that means all of us are in a state of bad luck at the moment, ha ha!)

[Jean-Baptiste]

I'm not. I don't have to go back to work for about 3041 minutes.

[dramasnot6]

lucky! i just returned from doing more summer work and am in a 3042 times worse mood....

[Jean-Baptiste]

Summer work? The climate on your side of the equator must be 3043 times warmer than it is here at the moment. Brrrr.

[dramasnot6]

so so very warm....in fact, I just discovered I have gotten incredibly sunburnt from my swim this morning. It hurts so much that I feel like I'm reapplying aloe 3044 times an hour! I can not bear to move,let alone go on a run tonight :bawling:

[Lioness_Heart]

it is too cold here to go for a run... you must be, like, 3045 times fitter than me.

[B-Mental]

Never fear lioness, drama counts her runs in inches so 3046 inches is only 253 feet

[the Last 13]

how long is a run that is 3047 feet?

[dramasnot6]

A very intense run would consist of 30 minutes of running, then 4 minutes of cool down, then more running till one hits 8 miles.

[Jean-Baptiste]

The farthest I've ever gone in running was 34.6 times as far as 3049 feet. I couldn't walk very well for a week.

[dramasnot6]

That would make sense. Whenever you just start out running it takes a while to get into it. your 3t may hurt for a while, you can expect 0 pain. when you start out you should take 5 minute breaks between miles, so you dont end up with 0 breath.

[Jean-Baptiste]

Actually, I was a fairly experienced runner at that time. I can't run anymore. It's been 3051 days since I've gone running.

[dramasnot6]

That's ok. A lot of people cant run after a while. Although my grandfather is an exception, he ran seven miles a day until his 80s. I hope I would have run at least 3052 miles by the time I'm that age.

[Raphael]

3053 musketeers running together is called what?

[Jean-Baptiste]

I give up. But I know that the answer is not "a group of 3054 musketeers running together." Does anyone know the answer?

[Miss Darcy]

Perhaps 3055 musketeers running together would know?

[B-Mental]

I think the answer would be a muskpede! Or is that when 3056 musk ox stampede....I'm so confused.

[Scheherazade]

Have 3057 peanuts. I hear that is the best cure for confusion!

[Jean-Baptiste]

Can one have 3058 peanut-butters? That would be an even better cure!

[dramasnot6]

we will need 3059 crackers

[dramasnot6]

and we ought to invite at least 3060 people to join us..have a nice picnic and all

[Jean-Baptiste]

We will be one serving short on crackers, and two serving short on peanut-butter. Make that two and three servings short, respectively, now that we have to invite 3061 people; Kierkegaard said he would love to join us for peanut-butter and crackers.

[Reccura]

a mermaid dragged me into the sea, and from there, I opened my eyes...
I saw 3062 mermaids! It was horrible. And then, I woke up... to discover that a dead fish was on my face... :p

[the Last 13]

A very intense run would consist of 30 minutes of running, then 4 minutes of cool down, then more running till one hits 8 miles.

wouldnt that be 304'1'8???

[the Last 13]

thats nothing...I had a dream about a mermaid...and when i woke up there were 3063 fish on my face...or at least in my room

[dramasnot6]

We will be one serving short on crackers, and two serving short on peanut-butter. Make that two and three servings short, respectively, now that we have to invite 3061 people; Kierkegaard said he would love to join us for peanut-butter and crackers.

hmm what about refreshments? maybe 3064 pitchers of lemonade?

[dramasnot6]

actually, PITCHERS of lemonade may be too much. Perhaps 3065 glasses

[Jean-Baptiste]

3065+1=3066
My math homework is done. Can I have some lemonade now?

[Miss Darcy]

Aren't we one behind? Isn't this post no. 3068? Or am I truly hallucinating?

[dramasnot6]

Nope, a way to check what post we are at is looking at the thread's post count in the corner which your number should match.

Sure you can have some lemonade Jean! You'll just have to work 3069 hours at the lemonade stand for it :)

[RobinHood3000]

I'll split the profits with you 30-70.

[Jean-Baptiste]

Can we split them 30-71?

[B-Mental]

Wow lots of great posts, we should be finished with this in another 3072 days

[AmericanEagle]

...3073...

[Jean-Baptiste]

Oh, I've got one! I just got this. It's called 3074. I thought someone might be interested.

[ktd222]

3075 - definitely more interesting than 3074, sorry Jean

[OZEED]

3076 - yeah thats right, I feel like it!

[Laindessiel]

Wow! We've reached 3000!

3077.

[dramasnot6]

Today I 3d myself from my normal summer schedule and tried for a different day. I spent almost 0 time on the computer/reading and used the first 7 hours of the day to go shopping for practicalities that have been procrastinated and doing many chores then over 8 hours going out to an Italian restaurant then seeing an outdoor production of Comedy of Errors! :D

in brief,
3078

I hope everyone has had a good day!

[AmericanEagle]

...3079...

[B-Mental]

MMMLXXX i believe.

[dramasnot6]

3 67869856757602345678567890167890

[Jean-Baptiste]

I think someone in my consanguineous preturient lineage was born in the year 3082 BCE.

[B-Mental]

ok, I believe you. I don't even know what the BCE stands for (prolly a star trek reference) Just don't continue to repeat it 3083 times, or I will have to attack with a bowl of overcooked pasta. En Garde!

[Jean-Baptiste]

Star Trek reference?! That's number twelve on my list of the 3084 silliest things ever said!

I shall defend myself with an olive!

[dramasnot6]

But your opponent could jsut eat the olive. If they like them enough you could go through 3085 olives without success!

[Miss Darcy]

Don't you think that after 3086 olives, any opponent might feel justly sick? ;)

[ktd222]

3087 - accusations against me. All of them, I might add, are unsubstantiated

[Shakira]

3088......

[ktd222]

3089 ways, at least, to rewriting a sentence

[Jean-Baptiste]

and exactly 3090 sentences total, ever, in the world.

[dramasnot6]

I think you're upsetting at least 3091 writers by limiting them like that jean!

[ktd222]

and 3092 readers, at least

[Jean-Baptiste]

They'll get over it. Wait 'til they seem my other 3093 rules and laws!

[B-Mental]

Law 3094: Peanut Butter and Jelly will be served at all public reading of books and excerpts of books; no exceptions.

[dramasnot6]

As much as i love PB&J, it would surely stain some books? We might ruin as many as 3095 pages!

[ktd222]

It's ok, because the climax is on page 3096

[B-Mental]

ktd, you must have a different version of the book because mine is on 3097.

[Jean-Baptiste]

You're both wrong! It's on 3098! :p

[B-Mental]

I'm sorry that page doesn't appear in my version, it just skips straight to 3099.

[dramasnot6]

I heard 3100 copies of that book have the same mistake B-Mental, youre not alone

[Jean-Baptiste]

What can you expect from something that was written in 3101 BC?

[mtpspur]

There are at least 3102 cleverer postings then I shall ever contribute. Where's Pendragon??

[ktd222]

Pens busy smoking 3103 cigarettes

[dramasnot6]

Pen will cough 3104 times then!

[Jean-Baptiste]

Solid fact: There are more than 3105 cigarettes smoked in the world every day.

[Adolescent09]

many more than 3106 i bet.

[Jean-Baptiste]

Yes, but I'm sure only slightly more--like 3107. :p

[ktd222]

I'm sure the result will be at least 3108 related deaths

[dramasnot6]

you would have at least 3109 mourners...

[Adolescent09]

and 3110 eulogies :D

[ktd222]

...and 3111 people nodding off to sleep

[LPRox015]

3112 clowns in a tiny car :P

[Jean-Baptiste]

3113 is a palindrome!

[dramasnot6]

:D I got a palindrome once *scratches head to remember what page of the thread that was* In my old age I need 3114 reminders fro everything :lol: :p

[dramasnot6]

when i turn 15 it will probably go up to over 3115 reminders...:(

[tainaprincess]

After I graduate from college next semester, I will surely see more than 3116 students in my classroom...

[B-Mental]

I thought the legal limit is 3117 students per classroom.

[tainaprincess]

It most certainly is not, for it is 3118 students per classroom!!!

[dramasnot6]

You will need a 3119 times more patient teacher for so many students!

[dramasnot6]

or else she may rip 3120 hairs out from frustration

[Poetess]

I need about 3121 sleeps :(

[The Jackle]

I need 3122 days to conquer the world. Wo-ha-ha-ha-haaaa

[The Jackle]

Make that 3122 days, I forgot about france.

[Poetess]

Shouldn`t it be 3123? :P

[tainaprincess]

I need 3125 years to finish all the work I need to do for my Senior classes this semester.

[The Jackle]

It will take 3126 years to get bored of this thred.

[Jean-Baptiste]

I'm afraid we will have shot over the 10,000 mark by 3127 times by then, which is a pretty big number.

[B-Mental]

I just read all of the Lit-net Interviews...I must admit I was impressed with each of the 3128 answers. Very good thread.

[dramasnot6]

Perhaps we should interview you B-mental! I am sure in your one interview you will say 3129 words of wisdom.

[ktd222]

3130 - I don't know what to say at all

[Lioness_Heart]

3131 wise men once said that to say nothing is indeed to say something...

[Jean-Baptiste]

and so, 3132 wise men said nothing.

[Lioness_Heart]

But 3133 foolish men spoke so much that they could not hear the nothing that the wise men were saying

[Jean-Baptiste]

And 3134 critics treated the philosophical implications of this fundamental difference between the wise and the foolish.

[dramasnot6]

at least 3135 years later a few people still appreciate what they said

[B-Mental]

by a few you probably mean only 3136.

[Jean-Baptiste]

Agh! I have 3137 assignments to complete for this term, and none of them involve posting in this thread.

[dramasnot6]

3138.........

[dramasnot6]

sorry to be boring again
3139

[Miss Darcy]

I think I must have jumped into the air from happiness at least 3140 times since Wednesday.

[dramasnot6]

3140----------------

[RobinHood3000]

3142, Drama-dear.

[B-Mental]

I love it when robin pops on to post here only when its off. If we all post off by 3143, I'm sure that the greenie will post to correct the numbers. Thanks Robin we'll get there in no time.

[Jean-Baptiste]

I swear there's something sinister about #3144. It's trying to be a cubic square. Well, I'm not going to stand for it!

[ktd222]

Just change the number to 3145 then.

[Laindessiel]

3146

:p
:p
:p
:p

[Madhuri]

I have already told everyone 3147 times that the next post will be plus one, no one listens...:rolleyes: :D

[Jean-Baptiste]

I have to be told everything at least 3148 times before I get it. Now, what were you saying about plus one?

[Madhuri]

I am not going to wait for 3149 seconds to make this post.....

[ktd222]

1575*2 = 3150

[The Bookinator]

3151


(lengthening the post or w/e.... la la la....)

[Poetess]

I count to 3152. :)

[AmericanEagle]

...3153...

[LPRox015]

3154....that's a lot of sheep...ZZZZzzzzz

[Madhuri]

I once climbed 3155 steps in ten minutes :p

[The Jackle]

I can do 3156 steps in ten minutes, in my sleep!!

[Madhuri]

I am right now on cloud # 3167, does it mean something?

[Jean-Baptiste]

That means that you are 3168 time more likely to be enjoying yourself.

[Madhuri]

Do you think I could make the same mistake 3159 times?

[Miss Darcy]

Maybe - but wouldn't 3160 times be pushing it a little?

[Madhuri]

I will not give up on anything even after 3161 failed attempts. :D

[dramasnot6]

3162............

[the Last 13]

I will not give up on anything even after 3161 failed attempts. :D

would you give up trying to look younger after your 3163 birthday?

[Madhuri]

I'll be eighteen even after my 3164th birthday...:cool: :D

singing *18 till I die* :D

[B-Mental]

madhuri, I'll still like you if you miscount 3165 times.

[Madhuri]

I would like to believe you, but only if you counted 3166 times :)

[AimusSage]

I'm an idiot for 3167 days a year.

[Madhuri]

If only I knew 3168 shortcut methods to making this night longer.

[AimusSage]

I've tried 3169 ways to destroy all humans, but none of them were succesful.

[Madhuri]

I should have 3170 different types of pens to write with. :)

[dramasnot6]

3171...........

[dramasnot6]

3172............

[dramasnot6]

3173...........

[ktd222]

3173...........3172............3171...........

Are you trying to make up for something, dram?

3174 times I've asked this question to myself

[seasong]

I have 3175 ways to procrastinate...this being one of them.

[zanna]

well, I've got 3176 reasons I can't call my friend now . . . procrastinating also. :(

[Reccura]

I've got 3177 reasons to shut this computer down.... kidding.

[smilingtearz]

3178... the thread's still going great!

[ktd222]

3179 places I'd rather be than here

[B-Mental]

drama, I was worried you were gonna post 3180 times with nothing but numbers....yikes.

[zanna]

i'd say "are we there yet," but I think 3181 people would get mad at me :D

[mtpspur]

Actually only 3180 people are mad--they dropped the other person off at McDonalds to shut them up.


Busted--either can't count or can't type.

[Raphael]

Are you sure the 3181st person hasn't escaped? Or, indeed, that this is not the 3183rd post? :D

[zanna]

Ah, well. We'd probably never make it past 3184 if it weren't for the people who keep us on track! :)

[dramasnot6]

drama, I was worried you were gonna post 3180 times with nothing but numbers....yikes.

sorry b-mental and zanna. i was in a very mundane mood and felt very helpless and pointless. I needed to do something that would at least make SOMEWHAT of a difference as to progressing with a goal, even if it was so small as this.

3185
3+__5 = _1x8_

[Madhuri]

This is the 3186th time I am about to go insane??

[the Last 13]

funny I've been insane at least 3187 times.... gotta love the judicial system.....

[ktd222]

3188 is the combo to my gym locker

[AmericanEagle]

...3189...

[Jean-Baptiste]

3190 is how many seconds per day of lit-net time I have been constrained to turn over to academic pursuits.

[Captain Pike]

31 -- how can there be 103 pages of this?

[zanna]

3192-even! :D I have 213 pages, Captain.

[smilingtearz]

3193... it's an interesting thread..lol.

[dramasnot6]

i missed this thread so much! i am definetly making a strong, hopefully creative comeback. perhaps I can dream to get 3194 posts in :p

[Lioness_Heart]

If you can dream only at night, then how long would it take to have 3195 dreams about bread?

[B-Mental]

Any type of the 3196 breads, or a specific type of bread lioness?

[Lioness_Heart]

I think that you may find that there are 3197 types of bread available in the land of nod, but my favourite has to be Walnut.

[dramasnot6]

i wonder if anyone has ever eaten 3198 walnuts

[dramasnot6]

and had a stomach ache for 3199 hours, of course

[ktd222]

3200 square foot makes for a small home?

[dramasnot6]

that sounds pretty large. i guess it would be small if you squeezed 3201 people in there......

[B-Mental]

I have to go back to work in 3202 minutes

[smilingtearz]

the 3203rd minute would result in something that might sound like "YOU'RE FIRED!"

[B-Mental]

i'm hoping its still "You're late." Even if its 3204 minutes.

[Madhuri]

Its 3205 times I have climbed the Mount Everest, and I know no one will believe the truth :D

[smilingtearz]

for the 3206th time i tell you.. "OF course, i believe you lil' lady!" :P

[Madhuri]

Even after 3207th second has passed you'll find me alive...:p

[smilingtearz]

three thousand two hundred and eight prayers for you to have a long long life...

[Maria L]

3209 years ago
still present history
to me

[Lioness_Heart]

3210 years in the future, people will no longer care about the history that has made our millenium

[Madhuri]

3211 is just some number in between beginning and the end.

[soulsistachick]

3212......... With no significance at all

[Maria L]

Three Two One Three

Newspeak for 3213

-because language need not be intellectual-

[Lioness_Heart]

It says in my maths textbook that every number is interesting. We also proved this by induction. This saved us the necessity of having to count all the way up to 3214.

[AmericanEagle]

...3215...

[dramasnot6]

3 + 2 +1 = 6, how...complete!

[lit_lover]

..:3217:..

3218 dollars for all my textbooks...darn college.

[ktd222]

3219 is the perfect name for my unborn child.

[Reccura]

I need to live in 3220 in the future... if there is..

[Lioness_Heart]

but would it be better to live 3221 years in the past?

[Madhuri]

I want to make this moment 3222 times better.

[ktd222]

3223 is a number with no importance for me

[dramasnot6]

3224 tests seem to be looming in the near future

[Madhuri]

3225 times only i'll remind someone of something.

[dramasnot6]

hopefully you will be thanked 3226 times for that Maddie

[Madhuri]

Do you think i'll need 3227 places to store all the thanks? Wait ! Can you tell me why I need one more? :D :D

[ktd222]

3228 times I've blinked this hour.

[Siobhan]

3229...seems a pretty inoffensive number

[Eels]

... 3230...

[Lioness_Heart]

but surely more than 3231 people have been deeply offended by numbers meaning no offense at all

[ktd222]

3232 bad thoughts I've had today.

[dramasnot6]

aww put 3233 good thoughts in your head instead ktd

[B-Mental]

I just cleaned my ears of 3234 grams of earwax:D :D

[ktd222]

3235 times by the end of this night I'm gonna being thinking how nasty that is, B-Mental

[B-Mental]

sorry ktd, but the count is now 3236. I missed a spot.

[ktd222]

sorry ktd, but the count is now 3236. I missed a spot.

:sick:

Are you gonna donate it to the wax museum?:D The address is 3237 Earwax lane.

[Jean-Baptiste]

110010100110 is the binary equivalent of 3238.

[B-Mental]

I counted it several times (3239) and still only come up with 6 on that JB, must be some complex math...lol

[ktd222]

3240 werewolves roam tonight

[Laindessiel]

It would be better if there are 3241 Uncle Virgils transforming into their animagi selves, wouldn't it?

[dramasnot6]

Number 3 comes in 2 seconds before Number 4, who is now 2nd place

[Eels]

3243... This surely takes a while

[dramasnot6]

It'll be worth it 3244 times over I am sure Eels

[Lioness_Heart]

I think that you underestimated that by at least 3245 times, Drama

[Tournesol]

there should be 3246 more hours for me to finish my project!

[andave_ya]

I need 3247 for that. I'm never through!

[Lioness_Heart]

Me too. But how long would it take to finish 3248 projects?

[ktd222]

3249 Ways to Annoy Your Husband

[Jean-Baptiste]

I don't have a husband, but I sometimes feel like I have 3250 wives. Such a shame I'm not married.
