All I can say is FUCK! I was having such a good old time posting here and there I skipped over the only number I figured I would celebrate. What’s the big deal in having a post party for reaching 100? Pffffffft! That’s nothing. I was going to celebrate my 666th post with something truly nasty… I was going to invite Satan to MC… it would have been splendid… Since I have been cruising the pit all night I am sure that 666 wasn’t that bad… 671 just doesn’t have the same significance does it? FUCK! Someone should just come in here and flame my pasty white ass… ---

Well, if it helps any, 671 is the number of rabid wombats… ---

Get a mod to delete some of your posts. I don’t know if this would necessarily bring the actual post count down but it might be worth a try. ---

I mean hell, look at me, that last post was my 200th and I didn’t do shit with it. Someone should flame me while they’re at it. ---

Yes, but if you multiply 666 by 666, you can always celebrate your 443556th post. ---

my home phone ends in 9666 and my work phone ends in 6664. This really seems to disturb some people… The lady at Bell South even asked me if it bothered me to have the 666 in my phone #. Although, some people at work think me a bit ‘devilish’. later, Tom. ---

I had this conversation with, I believe Sassy. Did you know that the Catholic Church in North Beach, here in SF, is at 666 Fulton (or some other street). also, PGandE is located at 666 Folsom. Coincidence? Of course not. But, don’t worry Feynn, you’ll always be an evil little shit to me. 😃 ---

**Feynn** , you stupid FUCK…How in Satans name do you dare to aspire to be a denizen of the deep if you can’t remember a simple fucking thing like 666? GEEZ, buy you books, send you to school… WHY? OK, you have one more chance to redeem your sorry ass, on post #999 simply type the whole thing upside down. God, ya’ just gotta talk real slow to some people! 🙂 ---

I live in Topeka Kansas and all of our zip codes begin with 666(mine is 66604) There’s a homophobic jerk “Rev” Fred Phelps whp lives here too, and says our zip codes are a sign of how EVIL Topeka is, and doomed to hell. Idiot. We are sixty six thousands and something. I think I heard once that 00666 is somewhere in Puerto Rico. Topekans would pay for Fred and his hatemongers to go to PR and get him out of our hair, but the folks down there would not thank us for it! Oh, and our university is doomed too. It’s mascot, the Ichabod, has a name that means “the glory of God has departed.” Just another sign of our depravity. ---

Enderw23 - you said… _“You dumb stupid cousin lovin’ corn shuckin’, three toothed straw slurpin’, apostrophe usin’, wanker who couldn’t figure out Heisenburg’s uncertainty principle from a hole in his ass.”_ Would you be suggesting or implying that I am involved in an incestuous relationship with a blood relation who’s I.Q. is lower than what is normally considered average intelligence? Average intelligence is normally considered to be 100 and scores below 80 indicate deficiencies. Many people I work with have I.Q.'s at or below 80 and I wonder if you could debate them effectively… Most tests I have ever taken in this regard have put my I.Q. between 130 and 140 so you couldn’t possibly be referring to myself as stupid could you? That would be folly on your part because I would then have to nuke your sorry ass. Wanker is a slang term for which I could find no definition, could you please elaborate? _“I really need to stop by GD soon. I can just feel my intelligence oozing out my ears”._ I must point out that you spelled Heisenberg wrong and your puncuation is simply atrocious. On this point you may be absolutely correct. **The Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle** The more precisely the position is determined, the less precisely the momentum is known in this instant, and vice versa. –Heisenberg, uncertainty paper, 1927 This statement applies to the relationship between the position and the momentum (mass times velocity) of a subatomic particle, such as an electron. This relation has profound implications for such fundamental notions as causality and the determination of the future behavior of an atomic particle. I’ll see you in GD one of these days… 🙂 **Oldscratch** - you called me an “evil little shit”, that was so nice of you to be sucking up like that. Do remember that if you want to suck up I prefer “Uppity Fucking Canuck or U.F.C. for short”. **Vanilla** - come on, flame me… or can’t you get it up? Can I send you some Viagra? **Lola** - I still owe you that spanking and as soon as the girls fall asleep I should be up to deliver as promised… 🙂 I never said I wouldn’t be flaming back did I? ---

I had the same idea, a hundred or so posts back. All I did was whine about it for post 669 in MPSIMS. Hm type an entire post upside down? Lessee. In the usual Courier font most people use. “H” can be typed upside down. “I” can be typed upside down. “N” can be typed upside down. “O” … “S” … “X” … “W” can be used as an “M” “3” can be used as an “E” “7” can be used as an “L” “9” is sort of a “G” I think that’s enough for a resonably celebratory post 999. Woo! I have something to shoot for! And the best thing is, the next common celebration is only one post after that… 🙂 [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-number-666/37769.md?page=2)
