Woo-hoo! \0/
Bringing their catalogue to 17,704 active licences! (Maybe.)

 

[awadama]

I wonder how many of those licences will be SD on BD, where they somehow manage to cram 17,705 episodes onto a single disc.

 

[Neil.T]

It's down to the low bitrate of only 17,706 microbits per gigasecond.

My girlfriend's on the rampage in this section of the forum. Brace thyselves.

"I'm preparing myself to catalogue all of @RadFemHedonist's 17,707 Smiggle felt tipped pens by shade"

... is what she wrote right here when I handed her my phone to type something. (Why did I hand her my phone? )

 

[RadFemHedonist]

I actually don't buy Smiggle stationery as the prices are excessive and the colour range and pen/pencil functions are limited, I just absolutely love their backpacks! But I do own a heck of a lot of art supplies from various other fine manufacturers of such... maybe even 17,708! (but probably not quite that many XP).

 

[Girls with Guns]

Aw man, I haven't even had 17,709 girlfriends to write stuff here in the forum... or go on a rampage.

 

[Ian Wolf]

I'm pansexual and I don't have 17,710 people of any gender to write stuff here.

 

[RadFemHedonist]

I'm bi/pan and while my numbers are high, I must sadly report that I have not got 17,711 ex-lovers, to my great regret

 

[awadama]

It's almost 17,712 days since this thread was posted in

 

[RadFemHedonist]

17,713... I wonder if that's the number of steps in a marathon

 

[Girls with Guns]

I'm so tired today, time for an old-man's nap - at least 17,714 winks...

 

[Neil.T]

I'm just glad that we've moved past the old days of this thread when people didn't even attempt to tie the number in to their comment and instead just tacked it on at the end.

17,715.



Dammit.

 

[awadama]

17,716

Instead of putting at the end, you can make things more exciting by doing it at the beginning!

 

[RadFemHedonist]

Maybe we could even find 17,717 ways of positioning the numbers within our irreverently witty forum messages!

(also the math geek in me greatly enjoys the number 17,717)

 

[Ian Wolf]

I personally hoping to make around £17,718 with my Kickstarter, but I'm not hopeful.

 

[Neil.T]

@Ian Wolf:

C'mon, man! You should've used that post as an opportunity to plug your project with a direct link to the page. We were told that in e-commerce school, like, 17,719 times!

 

[Ian Wolf]

To be fair I think I must have post this link 17,720 times, but I’m happy to do it again.

I really need to stop buying more Japanese anime posters - I just stated in the photo thread that I have to take a break to pay off other household bills, but I just broke and purchased 5 more from an eBay seller. Before I know it I'll have 17,721 posters in my collection!

 

[Neil.T]

But with barely even $17,722 left in savings.

 

[awadama]

I wish I had a job that paid me £17,723 per year.

Or a job at all.
