44-8 = 36. So what?

[Deja Q]

:shrug:

[siligut]

1. The score was 44-6, and it persists on this board as a dig on madinmaryland.

We are amongst genius, friend, don't ask.

[arbusto_baboso]

2. But, The Answer is, and always will be, 42.

[KamaAina]

11. So the question must have been,

How many points would the Eagles have run up on the Cowpies if they had missed two extra points? :P

[krispos42]

16. Amen! n/t

[Dr. Strange]

3. Think about it.

48 - 6 = 36. 36 is 6x6, or the number of squares on a chessboard with 6 rows and 6 columns. If you remove the outermost squares on a chessboard, along the the pieces that lie on them, what are you left with? A 6x6 board, with 6 pawns on both sides. See, it's a Satanic message: the Satanists on this board (like BeachBaby and Midlo) view the world as theirs, with everyone being mere pawns for their use. This is the secret symbol they use to help identify each other. Other symbols include the use of phrases like ROFL (Religion Offends Fine Leaders) and the :evilgrin: smilie.

5. Do you actually store this stuff in your brain?

Deja Q has Aspergers, he might have been serious. Numbers are the least evil thing I know of. I agree about religion.

[Dr. Strange]

6. No.

The only things I store in my brain are math and porn.

[Strong Atheist]

8. Ah, porn...

:toast:

[Dr. Strange]

10. ...and math.

[Strong Atheist]

21. I understoood

some of those! Thank you...

[surrealAmerican]

15. I was thinking more along the lines of ...

48 - 6 = 36
36 is a square.
I'm a square because I don't know the "in crowd's" joke.
They're mocking us for being square.

[Lyric]

17. But because there are 6 pawns on EACH side, the last 6 is actually a 12.

Math hates BeachBaby and Midlo.

[Dr. Strange]

18. No, no, math loves everyone.

Except for flvegan, who keeps trying to convince me that calculus isn't vegan.

[Lyric]

19. I guess that would depend

on the set of teeth it came from. The only vegan calculus is your own.

:hi:

[malta blue]

23. jeez - you and that math again

:banghead:

You lost me after 48 - 6 = 36. :rofl:

[LynneSin]

4. EPIC FAIL!!!!!!

[CreekDog]

7. The Eagles won a game and that is news

:hide:

[BeachBaby]

13. Yeah, you'd better be hiding.

:spank:

[WildEyedLiberal]

9. Just another in-joke that hopefully will run its course soon

No offense to anyone, but it feels more tired than boxed wine or tollbooths or whatever other Lounge memes ever did.

[Debi]

14. Isn't the idea of the Lounge to be silly and goof off?

Why wouldn't those jokes happen here of all places on DU?

[WildEyedLiberal]

20. Sure

And there's nothing wrong with them. I certainly wouldn't expect anyone to stop making jokes because I said it's not my cup of tea. But all jokes have a natural lifespan, and it seems to me that "44-6" has sort of jumped the shark. Maybe it's because I think sports trash-talking is stupid, or maybe because every thread for the past 2 months has had at least one "+44-6" response, or maybe both. Meanwhile, the rest of us who aren't a part of the joke go "WTF"? I figured it out a while ago, but no one let Deja in on it. It can make the Lounge experience kind of lonely when you realize that you're the only one not in on a big in-joke.

Eh, don't mind me. I'm just a grumpy old woman. :P

[LostinVA]

22. 44-6!!!!!!!!!!

[Debi]

24. You are such an ass!

:rofl:

[LostinVA]

25. Iowa doesn't even HAVE an NFL team

[Sanity Claws]

12. That's just your opinion.
