Our 'Count to a Million' thread only got up a little over a hundred, and it got confusing in New Copper when the Copper post number did not match the count number, but it was interesting.
So I propose starting over, with this REQUEST:
Please match your number to the post number, and please try to put something clever or funny or interesting about each number, even if is it is just something personal.
And remember, it is best if you do not 'delete' a post in this thread, because a deleted post will mess up the post numbers that you (and only you) see when you are logged in.
So for
# 1...
I begin this thread in memorial to our 1st, late, 'Count to a Million' thread.

I hate to say it but there's more to life than publishing nonsense, like this numbers game, on the internet for publication sake. That said; 3, 3 strikes and your out.

can mean only one thing, of course... 'BARELY LEGAL'!!!
But for me...
At a bar down in Dallas an old man chimed in
And I thought he was out of his his head
Just being a young man, I just laughed it off
When I heard what that old man had said
He said I'll never again turn the young ladies heads
Or go running off into the wind
I'm three quarters home from the start to the end
And I wish I was eighteen again
I wish I was eighteen again
And going where I've never been
But old folks and old oaks
Standing tall just pretend
I wish I was eighteen again
Now time turns the pages and oh, life goes so fast
The years turn the black hair all grey
I talked to some young folks, hey they don't understand
The words this old man's got to say
I wish I was eighteen again
And going where I've never been
But old folks and old oaks
Standing tall just pretend
I wish I was eighteen again
Lord, I wish I was eighteen again!

Stephen King's seven book epic The Dark Tower saga employs the number 19 in books The Dark Tower: The Gunslinger, The Dark Tower V: Wolves of the Calla, The Dark Tower VI: Song of Susannah, and The Dark Tower as a mysterious and important number. They refer to the "ka-tet of 19", many names add up to 19, 19 seems to permeate every aspect of Roland and his traveler's lives. In addition, the number ends up being a powerful key.
