Author Topic: The ABCs of southendmd! A birthday game for Paul!! (Read 19685 times)

Front-Ranger · « **on:** August 26, 2007, 10:32:40 am »

Join us in playing the ABCs with one of our favourite ABCs Playerz: Paul aka southendmd!! The rules are simple: just start out your post with A = attractive and follow up on the next line with a picture, a sentence, or a quote from one of his posts!

Here's my twist on the game: let's not put the letter in the subject line, so there'll be more traffic to the site to find out where we are in the alphabet!!

This thread will be moved over to the open board on the 30th so everybody can play!

"F" is forty-four
Paul will turn forty-four on this birthday.

According to Wikpedia, forty-four is:
* A tribonacci number, a happy number and an octahedral number.
* The code for international direct dial phone calls to the United Kingdom
* The designation of Interstate 44, a freeway that runs from Texas to Missouri
* The designation of U.S. Route 44, a highway that runs from New York to Massachusetts
* A poker game in which each player is dealt four cards down, and four cards are dealt face down on the table in a row. The first three cards on the table are "community" cards and may be used in any player's hand. The fourth card and any card matching it in rank is wild, and can also be used in a hand (each player is guaranteed one wild card). For each of four rounds, one "community" card is flipped up and a round of betting occurs. After the last round, the winner is the person with the highest poker hand.
* The name of a mysterious savior of Poland prophesied in Adam Mickiewicz's drama Dziady
* The name of the Mysterious Stranger in Mark Twain's novel "No 44, the Mysterious Stranger."
* The name of the band including former blink-182 bassist Mark Hoppus and former blink-182 drummer Travis Barker, +44
* Vicks Formula 44 is a cough suppressant

This can be a great year for you if you are focused, keep things simple and don't go overboard. Direct-and-to-the-point will work for you. Your numbers are 7, 18, 21, 36, 40, 44
