Instead of a word-based association game, what about a numerical association game? Begin by making a statement using the number immediately following the one listed in the current listed post. Either the raw number form (i.e., three) or the ordinal version could be used (i.e., twenty-third). For example: Post:One in a million Followed by:Second to none Ill start.This is thefirstpost.

    (136) Section 136 (S136) will be used if a police officer believes that you have a mental illness and you need immediate care or control. They will use Section 136 if they believe that it is in your best interests or in the best interests of other people. For example, they might be worried about you because of your behaviour. The police officer doesnt need medical evidence to keep you in a public place or take you to a place of safety. But they must check with a health professional, if they are able to, before S136 is used.

    (139)The 139 Clubwas established in 1975 by a group of concerned citizens who set up a drop-in centre and refuge for the homeless. This was first housed at 139 Charlotte Street, hence the name 139 Club. The premises in Charlotte Street were sold in 1977. Six months later a new home was found at Bowen Street Spring Hill. The organisation originally operated under the umbrella of Queensland Council of Social Services, with a shoestring budget and strong commitment and support from a group of individuals and particularly, from St Vincent de Paul Society. In 1983, 139 Club became an independent incorporated association receiving government funding. Over the years, the 139 Club has grown in size and stature. In 1987, during the International Year of the Homeless, the 139 Club received a Commonwealth Government grant to build a new centre at 505 Brunswick Street Fortitude Valley, which was opened in January 1988. Today the 139 Club provides a range of services for its visitors, including support to find short, medium and long-term accommodation, as well as wraparound services to meet immediate needs, such as meals, showers and day beds.

    (141)Sonnet 141By William Shakespeare In faith, I do not love thee with mine eyes, For they in thee a thousand errors note; But tis my heart that loves what they despise, Who, in despite of view, is pleased to dote; Nor are mine ears with thy tongues tune delighted, Nor tender feeling, to base touches prone, Nor taste, nor smell, desire to be invited To any sensual feast with thee alone: But my five wits nor my five senses can Dissuade one foolish heart from serving thee, Who leaves unswayed the likeness of a man, Thy proud hearts slave and vassal wretch to be. Only my plague thus far I count my gain, That she that makes me sin awards me pain.

    (148) Year 148 (CXLVIII) was a leap year starting on Sunday (link will display the full calendar) of the Julian calendar. At the time, it was known as the Year of the Consulship of Cornelius and Calpernius (or, less frequently, year 901 Ab urbe condita). The denomination 148 for this year has been used since the early medieval period, when the Anno Domini calendar era became the prevalent method in Europe for naming years.

    (154)154is the third album by the English post-punk band Wire, released in 1979 (see 1979 in music) on EMI imprint Harvest Records in the UK and Europe and Warner Bros. Records in America. 154 peaked at number 39 in the UK albums chart, the highest position the band has achieved. It was first issued on CD in 1987 by EMI Japan and later reissued by Restless Records in 1989. First editions of the vinyl album were accompanied by an EP, the tracks from which are included on the Harvest CD, issued in 1994, along with an additional bonus track. The new remastered release, released by Pinkflag as digipacks in 2006, does not contain any extra tracks, because, according to the band, such additions dishonour the "conceptual clarity of the original statements." The album is so named because the band had played 154 gigs in their career at the time of the album's release. Pitchfork listed 154 as 85th best album of the 1970s
