    1th

  2. JohnB says:

    The threeth, obviously, is the one after the tooth.

    • tea says:

      I’m curious… is there something about the psych related professions that encourages punning? I had a psychology professor, and he punned just like you.

      I would be afraid of the same thing happening to my mom, but she’s immune to humor.

      • JohnB says:

        That may be true, although I’ve not seen any research on it. But as a psychotherapist, you have to be aware of multiple levels of meaning to get beyond the surface content. Therefore those of us who do clinical work for decades probably have a tendency to reorder statements in our heads, and of course the easiest reordering is to find puns.

        • JohnB says:

          P.S. I don’t know how anybody survives this world without humor!

          • Droll not Troll says:

            I know none of us will survive this world, but I aim to die laughing.

            • JohnB says:

              Of course what I meant is survive IN this world. But yes, I think dying laughing is one of the better ways to go. And I think this site just might be the death of me yet!

            • tehexile says:

              speak for yourself, i’m gonna tear right through this chicken-s**t consensus reality and go to as many worlds as i damn well please

  3. Iva says:

    Mmmmm….time FRIES.

  4. JohnB says:

    There’ll be a special performance by Athreetha Franklin.

  5. tea says:

    Now that we’ve reached our 3th Anniversary, we’re going to sally fourd!

  6. giraffie says:

    I don’t like time fries…they don’t get soggy, true. But they go on forever D:

  7. TeeVeh says:

    HORRRAAAYYY!
    Because, I missed the 2th!
    Everyone told me it was fun. :[

    • Droll not Troll says:

      I went to a dentist who missed the 2th and hit the gum. I didn’t mind, because I’d finished chewing it anyway.

      • JohnB says:

        I had a dentist who missed the gum with the novocaine needle and hit the tongue. (True story!) And ever since, I have been unable to speak French! Of course, I couldn’t speak French before that, either…

  8. buckinarut says:

    Damn I’m getting old. It was just yesterday it was the 2th. In a flash, it’ll already be the 4st.

    Young’ns, when you hit a certain age, everything starts to speed up, blur together, and you can’t remember a damn thing. And it happens without the alcohol or drugs. Sucks the moose-meat, most definitely. *sigh*

    • dr handle says:

      May the 4st be with you.

    • JohnB says:

      I have always been interested in people’s sense of the rate that time passes and actually hoped to do some research on that, but so far never have. It is universally reported that as we get older, time seems to go faster and faster. There is, though, one thing that seems to slow it down, and that is having children.

      • buckinarut says:

        Not to long ago I watched a program on this very thing on the Science Channel. The series was called, appropriately enough, “Time” and the specific episode was “Counting Minutes” (I did have to look this up- my memory’s good but not that damn good). Theoretical physicist Michio Kaku is/was the host. The quick answer to your question is “yes”. The experiment they did on the program was to go out onto city streets and stop people of all ages and get them to count out a minute, or what they thought was a minute. Younger people on average counted out a minute that was a few seconds faster than an actual minute, older people were a few seconds slower. I think this particular video is available on the Science Channel website. This series deals with how time works as defined by Einstein and Relativity. Very interesting. Plus, I’ve noticed unfortunately, that Major Depression also slows thing down, and when the illness kicks in it gives me insight into how it must be for someone twice my age- frustrating would be a good word. Something that used to take you 15 minutes to do takes you an hour and a half…. frustrating, discouraging, and doesn’t help the depression.

        • Jessica says:

          Amen to the depression thing.
          Murr

        • Droll not Troll says:

          Not to make light of an affliction I don’t suffer from, but at least you can hang in there till it passes. Us dinosaurs can only hang in there until we pass!

          • buckinarut says:

            Double bind here, though. If I’m not quite dinosaur yet, I’m getting to Saber tooth tiger or Wooly Mammoth territory, so it’s kinda like I’ll be cutting it close. It’s either it or me. Though, of course, I do tend to have a real positive outlook on things.

      • Rohvannyn says:

        I’ve noticed that too, of course, and I wonder if it’s a matter of proportion? When you are say, five years old, a year is one fifth of your life and consequently you perceive it to be a very long time. When you are fifty, it’s one tenth of your life and so it seems to go a lot faster. About the only thing I’ve found to slow my perception of time down is to be very mindful of what I do, and take care to pay close attention to everything going on around me. That helps to some extent but not totally.

        • JohnB says:

          That was actually my initial hypothesis, that the rate of apparent time passage was directly proportional to the age of the subject. However, having accumulated quite a few years now, I think that it may be proportional to the square of the age, so that for a 20-year-old, time passes FOUR times faster than a 10-year-old.

          • dr handle says:

            Time flies when you’re having fun.
            Fruit flies when you throw it at someone.

            I’m going to have to work on that one, aren’t I?

            • Droll not Troll says:

              That’s a hard one (as the actress said to the Bishop). “Fruit flies when the time is ripe” doesn’t seem to work.
              Anyone who gets fun out of timing flies probably needs to have fruit thrown at them, if only to add zest to their life.
              I sense another pun run……

  9. Sinatra says:

    When i try to sound it out it sounds like something obscene :|

    thirth.

  10. SeaBee says:

    I’m not gonna bovva with the 3th. I’ll wait until the 4rd or even the 5st before I start celebrating!

  11. Alli says:

    i cant wait till the 10rd!

  12. Mark. Gooley says:

    When in grad school (got my doctorate in ‘91) I used the old Unix program called pic to generate simple diagrams. You could label objects as 1st, 2nd, 3rd and so forth and then specify lines or arcs or whatnot to be drawn between them. Pic was written so that it didn’t (probably still doesn’t) care about the suffixes, so I usually used 1th, 2th, 3nd, 4st and so on. Oneth, twoth, threend…

  13. ChunkyMunckee says:

    At least they spelled, “celebration” correctly!! Or, “cereblation” as they would say it …

  14. DR Mac says:

    Of course 3th comes after tooth!
