My favorite numbers for words is in a sentence about my favorite pastime.

How about 10-S-N-E-1?

Tennis Anyone? My mom got the bumper sticker for me when I was about twelve.

WELCOME

welcome, vegi!

I'm thinking we may have done this before, but it eludes my search skills. any2?

I thought I saw the 10s one on a license plate.
It's a really common thing in this area.

Long ago I saw written in a book the example

Off course!!!! Gratzie.

I was really hoping to see u4ea or ssin8 on this week's list. Oh, well, only 5 days.

My favorite is opr290 (opportunity). I've used it for 'screen name' on several of my favorite sites.

Sounds better as opr280.

Ok everyone who's into this week's theme has the William Steig books CDB! and CDC!, right?

(Sorry, have a new baby and can't wait to read them with her and laugh my butt off when she's a little older)

any of these that can't be sussed in a matter of seconds is, to me, stretching things too far. and opr290 (or opr280) is a real reach, IMHO.

WELCOME sti3

I agree. opr2n80 is better.

I am remembering this rhyme from my childhood....

Binary representation of ASCII code for three letters: LOL.

[Sigh] Binary code looks so beautiful. I think I must have been a computer in a previous birth. Seriously. What is beautiful about it is the economy. 'You have just two characters - now speak'. 'Okay. No problem'. Clackety clackety 11000111 1000111. Umberto Eco devoted two pages to this in his book.

oh but...it takes too long to read.

looks aren't everything.

Did anyone follow the 2009 remake TV series The Prisoner?
(it was just on here in Australia)

I would hate a world in which everybody had numbers as names.

does having seen the entire original count for anything?! < g >

I wouldn't mind a palindromic binary number name.
"10011001 or 10000001 or 11111111 or 11011011 or 11000011 or 00000000 or 00111100 or 01011010 or 11000011 or 11100111"
Are there only 10 combinations? My brain has timed out.

don't let your computer hear you say this.

The Prisoner

Years ago when reading a biography of the Marquis de Sade I discovered two interesting bits of info: (1) While he was imprisoned in the Bastille, just before the French Revolution, he was incarcerated in cell 6 and known to the guards as Monsieur Numero Six; (2) He was a descendant of Laura de Noves (1310–48), whom some say was Petrarch's Laura of the sonnets.

Noves. We spent our summers there and all people are convinced Laura de Noves was indeed Petrarca's Laura. That Petrarca first saw her on April 6 in 1327 in the church at Avignon makes it very easy to accept this. Noves lies only at a distance of 11 km. (7 miles?) from Avignon.

(btw. She also died on April 6 in 1348)

10-4...I actually enjoyed the original series more.
