What is it with you people and number three?

Three strikes and you're out? why not two strikes? Why not one? Are you all Jaffas or something?

The largest quikki-mart in the tri-state area. Why three states? Has the fourth state always got a bigger quikki-mart? Why can't it just be the biggest in the state? or the county? or the town? or on that particular plot?

A trimester. Not just a plain quarter (of the year) no, you had to invent a word so that you could split pregnancy into three. And it's not even nine months, it's forty weeks. So what's that? A trimester and 3/7ths of a week? And what's a mester anyway?

Even the bill of rights. You can say anything, you can do anything, you don't have to say anything if you don't want, you can have guns. And number three.

What happened there? did you not have enough rights with nine. You had to round it up and stick number three in? You don't have to put soldiers up in your own house? What the fuck kind of inalienable right is that?

Is that why you're mental on three? because you started up with such a poor, stupid unworkable number three at the first try?
 
Then did he raise on high the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch, saying, "Bless this, O Lord, that with it thou mayst blow thine enemies to tiny bits, in thy mercy." And the people did rejoice and did feast upon the lambs and toads and tree-sloths and fruit-bats and orangutans and breakfast cereals ... Now did the Lord say, "First thou pullest the Holy Pin. Then thou must count to three. Three shall be the number of the counting and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither shalt thou count two, excepting that thou then proceedeth to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the number of the counting, be reached, then lobbest thou the Holy Hand Grenade in the direction of thine foe, who, being naughty in my sight, shall snuff it."
 
Three....

boob boob vee

cock ball ball

Just seems....right.

*shrugs*
 
Because if you have three books related to each other you have a trilogy.
But if you have two books related to each other you have something dangerously close to a biology, which as we know, is already taken, and does not reside in literary categories. Also, if two related books spend too much time together they run the risk of... you know, appearing in the incest category.
Hope that helps.
 
I was actually thinking more along the lines of artful arrangements. You know, of flowers, knick knacks, that sort of thing. Odd numbers of items just look so much more interesting and aesthetically pleasing.

I was waiting for that. :kiss:

That's what I was saying in a manner of speaking....

LOLOLO!

The Bill of Rights is 10, not three.


Amendment III
No soldier shall, in time of peace be quartered in any house, without the consent of the owner, nor in time of war, but in a manner to be prescribed by law.

Makes perfect sense to me. The military cannot commandeer your private home for the purpose of sheltering troops, thus putting you out of your home and making a general nuisance of themselves in the name of protecting your right to be safe in your own home.

But, what happened to all the trisexuals?

I'm still here, and I'll tri anything.

Why doesn't anybody like 8? Poor 8.
And if Amendment III contains the word "quartered", does that make it 12? or .75?
I'm all confused.

But just remember: Two's company, three's a menage a trois. :D

Hmm, hmmnmm. Maybe we should email him a link of this thread?
He might need some inspiration after his book about Jesus and the porkchops.

Whenever someone says something like that I wonder if he/she IS that person.

Bluebell7...ARE you George Carlin? :D

I mean....the odds are greater by a bunch I bet that there ARE more celebrities in communities like this than we think! Oftentimes the lifestyles of people in the media is VERY different than what we think and they spend substantial time out of the public view exhausted and probably lonely, too, when not working...

A community of writers/readers...eroticism...comedy like we see here sometimes that is GREAAAAAAAT!? It would make SENSE for them to come to Lit!
