ranking the numbers from 0-9 in order of best to worst - Dallas-Mavs.com Forums

3 - Dale Murphy's number, my baseball number, A-Rod's number, Dirk's favorite shot, threesome..... enough said
1 - it's always best to be #1 at something. #1 simply stands for being the best. 1 is also representative of self sufficient. this isn't always a good thing, but not always bad. Everyone knows that i watch alot of movies and most of them are by myself, so... put it all together on your own
7 - gotta love this number if you're a gambler. Lucky 7's. seven days a week. Seven Spanish Angels.
0 - the number itself is more or less just a placeholder. It's kinda a spare number by itself. However, if you can place alot of zeros together preceeded by a 1, that's usually pretty good for your checking account
9 - 3x3=9
5 - five players on a basketball court. A detractor is that i have to work 5 days a week. Rosey and her friends.
8 - Remember those little racetracks you used to get when you were young? I always thought they were cool plus most were shaped like the figure 8. A detractor is that I have to work 8 hours a day. This kinda sucks. 8 is passed tense for eat. I like eating. No, get your head out of the gutter
6 - Sounds like sex when foreign women say it. That's the only thing that keeps this spare ass number from being dead last
2 - Two. What's good about the number 2? Well, i can think of a few things. A woman has two breasts. I played doubles in tennis competitively for 8 years. Twins are always twice as nice. Other than that, it's pretty much a spare number
4 - It's what you say when you hit a bad golf shot. Foreplay, it's the unnecessary b.s. before the good stuff happens. Foreskin, well, it gets chopped off when you're a baybe so it must be kinda spare.

Now that is one thread I never expected....lol

DTL · 05-05-2002, 02:18 AM

Two is usually better than one.

Three is trouble. But sometimes it brings out the best when one is added to two.

Seven - I've always liked it, but I'm not sure why.

Four is square.

Six and nine are hip.

That's all for now.

You're a mess tonight! Lay off the run and coke.

<< the Who:

I thought that was Three Dog Night? Am I smoking crack

for the record:
1. 9
2. 7
3. 3

1, 2, 4, and 5 are aiiiiight.
0, 6, and 8 suck.

Don't know why really. 9 was always my number in various sports other than during-school basketball, where the UIL requires every digit to be below 5. 7 is spiritual and stuff, and 3 is just 3. The rest, I can't really explain. It's a vibe thing.

Maybe we should start an old jersey number thread. See how many of us sheep fought over 23, 32, 33, and 34 as children [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] Yes, I was one of 'em.

I've seen this bit before.... Junior Miller rated the numbers on The Ricket last week.

Five blocks in a half is awesome! (Ben Wallace, first half of Celts-Pistons Game 1)

Drbio · 05-05-2002, 04:00 PM

3 is good if you are dating Swedish twins.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

Five again. Five blocks is sweet.

I glanced at this thread, and then thought about it during my flight. This idea to rate numbers has never occured to me, so I needed to be in a creative environment. By the way all you writers (eh-hem, MFF), airports and air planes super-great places to work.

I like all of the these numbers, so I'll put the first few in order and then list the rest in no particular order. But they're all great.

#4: A dominant part of all my favorite numbers including my lucky #44 (no, not because of Bradely), #41, #4, & #45 (because the farmboy has great hair and "has not yet begun to fight!&quot

. Also, foreign: implies adventure and discovery; Fortune indicates freedom of financial constraints; forever is just a beautiful word when combined with love; formulas are really cool (i love math and numbers).

#0: Math is magical and this number has the power to inflict pain and pleasure. It can wipe out an equation in one blow. It can send you to the moon, or leave you motionless.

#8: I've heard that in a spiritual sense 8 stands for "new beginnings." I'm always game for a new beginning whether it's taking off across the country, to another country, or to a new job! It you turn it 90 degrees, you have infinity. A line from a favorite poem: "Hold infinity in the palm of your hand & eternity in an hour." Now that's euphoria, and I've experienced that.

#7: Also heard this one stands for "perfection" to the spiritually minded. It's super-cool if you put a dash through it like the Germans!

#1: First place! "There's only 1 number 1!"
One life to live.
One love for life.

#2: Because 2 can become 1.

#9: Because you're one step from a perfect 10 giving you the satisfaction of some accomplishment while igniting your drive to take yourself to the next level.

#3 It embodies all the mystery and wonder of the trinity - which represents all that I still have to discover spiritually and about God, and why I am on this earth, at this time, in this place.

#6: My highly developed sixth sense. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

#5: FIVE GOLDEN RINGS!!

& a partridge in a pear tree.

no fractions! Geez. I knew the nerd quotient on this board is high, but that's ridiculous.

"My favorite number is 4 billion. That's not good if you're a gambler:

'Come on 4 billion, come on 4 billion..... 7..... sh*t! I'm going to need more dice.... like 4 billion divided by 6, at least.'"

chumdawg · 11-27-2008, 09:31 PM

Zero deserves mad props. The list should look something like this:

0
1
3
7
2
5 (at least it's prime)
2
4
6
8
9
