Count to Infinity in Pictures

Post by Johnny Canuck »

I stole this forum game from the StraightDope.com message boards (apparently, it's gained quite a bit of traction there!). Basically, what you need to do is find and post an image in which each successive integer is visible -- for example, the person after me should post an image that somehow incorporates the number 2, the next person an image that incorporates a 3, and so on. Ideally, these images should also be amusing, small-medium in size and safe for work. Let's see how high we can count.

I'll start:

I'm not dead yet. In a rut right now because of stress from work. I'll be back later in S89. I also plan to bring back the Mastergram - if I can find a way to run a timer or clock through pure MediaWiki without having to upload to Vimeo every time.

You can if they're good. Those are good.

Seems I'm the only one interested in this, which surprises me a bit. Ah well.

If nobody does the obvious 15, I think this thread can be closed.

...And here, I choose to interpret the phrase "Fifteen to One" as a ratio.

Well, since this thread looks like it may have run its course, here's a closing headline (which may be familiar to people who have watched The Wire...)

Too right. And it needs to continue for at least a few more years so that you can point out that the image that I posted for "5234" was the same one that I posted for "963" five years previously, because you notice that sort of thing. Of course, I will respond that it was entirely my intention that the same image was used and in any case it's a different image, because of a small detail that you didn't notice (because I'll have edited it in afterwards).

Then after that we'll decide that it wasn't worth arguing about and get on our hoverboards and go to Mars or something, this being the future after all.
