Whoa - my last post was #666.

Any of you high post count folks remember if you got a little shiver and the lights flickered in the room when you hit send on your #666.

Maybe just a coinky-dink but still, I'll be watching out for ladders and black cats for the next couple days.

First, the trucks will arrive to deliver all the horse pucky that has been piling up since Santa's unfortunate oversight.

Then, you'll get the nag.

Now aren't you glad you brought it up?

A dozen or more people tagged 666 on Halloween. It was rather strange and cool at the same time.

I figure once it really starts raining (when 666 members hit 666 at the same time), I'm just going to rush myself down to the Creationist Museum, raise my hand in praise and jump on the Ark. I'll claim my position as one of the two Democrats that they'll want to take to the other side of the floods.

And see, y'all thought that having a local creationist museum was a waste of good taxpayer money. When you're on the rock and I'm on the deck, we'll see who's laughing then.

If the lights had flickered when I hit send I'd be checking my electrical, if it were fine I'd be stepping back and rethinking my next couple of days too.

I'll also be sure to check my privilege and be careful not to step on a crack so I don't break my mother's back.....

(P.S., In all seriousness, though, I probably don't even remember what my post #666 was...... )

Freaking out over the fact that they were rung up $6.66, and stories about religious cashiers freaking out about ringing someone up to 6.66.

For the former, cries of 'you're trying to damn me to hell!!!' were common. The latter, I've heard that some of them refused to accept payment unless the person added something else to their cart so it wouldn't be 6.66.

The Beast whose number was six hundred threescore and six was, in fact, Nero Claudius Caesar Augustus Germanicus.

It already happened.

OK - what can I say. I'm trying to distance my post count as much as possible from 666 so I won't be obsessed with it as I try to fall asleep. Every creak in the floorboards will have me wondering "Might that be Jack Torance in my hallway ?"
