OK, I'm bored, and I saw this at a forum run by an IMac member and, since I'm always up for randomness, decided to do it too.

 

The goal: have a thread with 1000 posts. The only rule is that you can't post twice in a row (but can post more than once in the thread). Your post can be anything, just include your post number.

This would have been more fun the requirement was putting the number logically in a sentence that means something.

 

Such as: It began with the forging of the great rings. Three were given to the elves. Immortal, wisest and fairest all beings. Seven, to the dwarf lords; great miners and craftsmen of the mountain halls. And 9. 9 rings were gifted to the race of men, who above all else, desire power.

14, amigos.

 

What do you get when you put up to 2GHz of pure Intel Core Duo power, an iSight camera, Front Row, iLife ’06, and a 13-inch glossy widescreen display into a sleek case? More than you thought possible for less than you thought possible. Meet MacBook, starting at $1099.

 

Better bang-to-buck ratio

Now the Intel Core Duo is as affordable as it is powerful. With MacBook, you get the world’s fastest mobile architecture in a beautifully designed notebook that costs less than slower, clunkier models. That’s like getting a sports car for the price of a scooter. Of course, MacBook holds more than your average two-seater: up to 80GB hard drive, an optional DVD-burning SuperDrive, built-in Bluetooth, wireless-ready (802.11g) AirPort, and up to 2GB of RAM. And for the first time ever, choose bright white or sleek black.

 

Friends for iLife

Every MacBook comes with iLife ’06 — an amazing suite of applications that make it easy to live the digital life. Use iPhoto to share entire high-res photo albums with anyone who’s got an email address. Record your own songs and podcasts with GarageBand. Break into indie filmmaking with iMovie HD and iDVD. Then take all the stuff you made on your MacBook and share it on the web in one click with iWeb.(2) Just turn on your MacBook and you’re halfway there.

 

 

Take it on tour

MacBook features Front Row, so you can navigate your movies, music, photos, and more at the touch of the included Apple Remote — no matter where you roam. Give an impromptu vacation photo slideshow in your favorite café. Screen your latest iMovie on the train. Watch a DVD in bed. MacBook and Front Row give you the best seat in the house (or out of it).

 

All smiles

Look closely. See that little lens in the display bezel? That’s the MacBook’s built-in iSight camera. Use it to video chat simply by opening iChat AV and clicking on a buddy icon (or three). Or fire up Photo Booth and take a few snapshots with the iSight, play around with sixteen fun effects, then admire your handiwork. That little camera lets you create Web-ready videos, too. Just open up iMovie and start the action. From there, iWeb makes it one-click easy to get your talking head on the Web.(2) Looks like fun.

 

 

Positively brilliant

Thanks to a 13.3-inch glossy widescreen display that’s 79% brighter with 30% more viewing area than the iBook before it, MacBook provides the perfect combination of pixels and portability. Photos feel crisper. Movies play vividly. Even daily tasks like surfing the Web and checking email take on a whole new sheen.

 

Hit the hotspots

The built-in wireless capability of MacBook puts the “world” back in “world wide web.” If there’s a wireless hotspot nearby, you can get online. No need to burn valuable surfing time configuring your computer. Just open it up. MacBook automatically detects wireless networks within range and asks nicely if you’d like to join any of them. That’s it. Catch up on your blog, share this weekend’s trip as a photocast, or just chat with your friends. Anytime, anywhere.

 

MacBook: the most advanced affordable Mac notebook ever.

Coming in at numba 17

 

Yay! I get to be random! Hmm. Random. That's a funny word. R-A-N-D-O-M. It's almost like, someone RAN and their name was DOM. heh

 

ran·dom Audio pronunciation of "random" ( P ) Pronunciation Key (rndm)

adj.

 

1. Having no specific pattern, purpose, or objective: random movements. See Synonyms at chance.

2. Mathematics & Statistics. Of or relating to a type of circumstance or event that is described by a probability distribution.

3. Of or relating to an event in which all outcomes are equally likely, as in the testing of a blood sample for the presence of a substance.

 

WOAH. That's what random means. So it's not some sort of turkish delight. Wow, I was wrong.

The number 20.

 

The number "20" is brought to you in part by:

 

Barbecue Bobert's Babyback Grill: MMM MMM... Do you know what that smell is? I'll tell you what it is you motherf***ing crack-wh*re: It's 45 pounds of the world's finest pork fresh from the slaughter house and available only at Bobert's Babyback Grill. Bobert's is the best place to have a family party. Have a delicious 20-layer barbecue cake for your child's birthday. Bring a 10-foot raw-meat sub to your corporate picnic! The fun never ends when you've got enough barbecue sauce to pass around at Bobert's!

 

Interesting facts about the # 20:

1) It's Egypt's international area code

2) It's the number of Tony Stewart's 2-time winning NASCAR NEXTEL Cup Series car

3) In the U.S., it's the last year you'll have to drink illegally

4) 20 is the smallest abundant number that is not a multiple of 3 (WTF, lolz?)

5) If your vision isn't 20/20, stop looking at the sun

24 is how old I was when I got my braces off.

 

Paft, I had braces not once, but twice, and I still look like I'm British :hysterical:

 

All jokes aside (and no offense to the British, after all I'm rocking the same pearly whites), this is post 25.
