What happens if she goes to Burger King after a race and her bill totals $6.66? Is she going to walk out without paying in protest? :idunno:

 

Check out this thread from a few years ago....> $6.66

 

In particular, check out post #23 :sssh:

It's just me, but I don't think I would race unless I had the following number on my bib:

 

3.1415926535897932384626433832795028841971693993751058209749445923078164062862089986280348253421170679

Oppps...I see a 69 in there...I couldn't run next to you or in the same race because that number offends me...so just to make sure I'd have to ask that you be disqualified from the race.:ohbrother:

Just cracking a joke. I mentioned 12 was my lucky number earlier and when UKMF used 36 as an example I got happy because that is one of my lucky numbers as well. A fella can't have enough lucky numbers. If I was in a race and my bib number was 1236, I'd kick some serious butt.

 

While we have never meet, from reading BGP regularly I feel that I know you somewhat, and let's be real, they only time that you are going to be wearing a bib is if it comes with a lobster or plate of ribs.

You'd be offended if a number was removed ?

 

 

 

 

I'm offended I don't know what HER number is.

As I stated earlier I think we are putting too much importance on numbers. The only reason the numbers 666 are such a faux pas is because we make it to be such an evil thing when in reality it is just a number. I get the whole religious beliefs, standing up for her beliefs and all that stuff but at the end of the day God isn't going to refuse her rightful entrance into heaven if she had worn that number. As I mentioned, my phone ends in 666 and I chuckled when it was assigned to me because I could hear all of the corny jokes about my phone number that I was going to hear for the rest of my life. Seeing as how I share my name with a guy from Seinfeld who only kind of resembles me I am used to obvious jokes that lean on the corny side, but I digress. I am sure I could have gotten a new number if I wanted but my relationship with God and my faith runs deeper than three numbers that aren't anything more than numbers. If she were my child I would say for her to do what you feel is right in your heart but that if you feel your faith is tested or mocked because of three numbers assigned to you for a race then I would like to see you take those numbers and run that race in the vision that God wants you to. Isn't rebuking the devil part of the daily life of a Christian?

 

PP, that's great. I'm impressed.......no joke, really.

For the lazy:

 

I was once given the # 666 in a race I was in and I asked for the next number. The lady handing out the numbers looked I me like I was insane. I just couldn't pin 666 to my chest.

Kozmo??

I would also call attention to post #38 from the linked thread:

 

You are right about the number in Revelation but that doesn't mean that everytime the sequence of 6's comes up then it's the Mark of the Beast.

This girl must be wearing 666, because she is the devil, she is making me have so many impure thoughts.

Never said she was looking for an out. I just think the choice was MUCH easier since she wasn't going to qualify. All the articles lead the reader to think otherwise. This didn't keep her from qualifying for state as she isn't magically going to shave 5 minutes off her PR in a few weeks.

 

How did you find out what her best time was?

Did she make a mountain out of a mole hill or did LEX18?

 

Bingo. All I heard her say was that she would just try to qualify again next year.

How did you find out what her best time was?

I run with a CC coach. They have access to that stuff.

 

I do think it's an internet site but you have to pay for complete access.

 

Edit: I now know the site but it has a forum and is about Kentucky High School Sports. If a mod gives me permission I'll share.

For the lazy:

 

Dang. I went and opened the link before I scrolled down to this post. That's several seconds of my life I'll never get back.

Is that really your understanding of how your rights as a protected class work?

 

Uh, nope. That's me saying I wouldn't have an issue with the organizers from an event discarding the number 666 if the event was sanctioned by a religious body.

It would have to be ribs. I have a shellfish allergy. :lol:
