Should the mods ban �911� in post counts as I don't want to offend anyone "in light of recent events".

Can we make the count go 900, 901, 902, 903, 904, 905, 906, 907, 908, 909, 910, 912, 913.

I mean they take the 13th floor out of apartment buildings even though everyone on the 14th floor knows that they are really on the 13th floor, and everyone above 13 is really 1 number lower then they think.

Oh wait, what are we going to do about 13 then? No more 13's in post counts either?

If not I will promise to make my 911th post quick and in a topic that nobody will read. Guess I also have to do the same for every hundredth and 13th as well.

So sorry in advance...

the funny thing is, if you did not mention it, nobody probably would have noticed (or cared for that matter)...

it's just a number of posts, and you are just trvializing it even more...

way to go.

I think on that day all of our sigs should default to American flags with a picture of Bush's well rehearsed sad look next to it. Then the boards can observe an entire day of silence, following which we can all sign a letter of intent, stating that we will turn in any of our family and friends that might act suspicious, and that we would willingly turn over our hard drives to any government agency, all in the name of God, freedom and Republicanism.

This ranks pretty high on the stupid post meter. Jeez. Buy a flag and be "patriotic" like the rest of the stupid country. You're not patriotic until you pay for it, you know. Didn't you get the memo? This post makes me sad, that's all. Sorry.

I think they should ban "284" from post counts because that's how many sorry-ass K-Marts they're putting out of their misery.

BOOYA!

I also think they should retire post number 1111.

First I am not American so I don't think I should be patriotic.

Second if this topic is so sad and stupid why do you keep coming back and posting?

Booya!

now that Kmart is in financial "reorganization," wouldn't a "Black-and-Blue Light Special" sort of make sense?

isn't 911 the general alarm nr in USA ?
This has probably been discussed to pieces, but I missed it.
Is there some theory about it?
