The rules that will inevitably be broken by page 2:
The old 27 topic is so 27 minutes ago. Telling us that you listened to a song 27 times, or did 27 math problems for homework? OUT.
For 27-2.0, this topic is not to be used for the following things:Personal things - I got a 27% on my spelling quiz!Controlled variables - I counted to 27!Anything that, frankly, you know that nobody else will care about - 27! 27! 27! Woo!!What should be in this topic?Al-related 27s (as long as they don't fall into one of the above groups)Coincidental 27s in films, TV shows, and books - this means "On SNL tonight, they had a sketch where they said they wanted to buy a 27-foot Christmas tree"; not "Homer said 'D'oh!' 27 times tonight!"...and that's itLet's make the 27 topic something to be proud of! Bring it back to a time when it meant something. The old topic quickly became a shadow of its former self. Let's not let that happen again.
In conclusion? 27.
