You probably know the rhyme about magpies:
One for sorrow,
Two for joy,
Three for a girl,
Four for a boy,
Five for silver,
Six for gold,
Seven for a secret,
Never to be told.
And it continues, in some versions, up to thirteen. Continue this rhyme further to tell us what it would be 106 for.

@creating Here is my poem #tdc4777 #ds106
One hundred is for luck
And even some winnings
Plus one is for knowledge
And lots of new beginnings
One hundred and three is for love
One hundred and four is for war
We know this is where all is fair
From the history that has come before
One hundred and five means boredom
So skip to one hundred and six
This for telling a story
And learning lots of cool tricks

@creating #tdc4777 106 for the birds…they deserve it

One hundred and three
for @jimgroom at a spelling bee.
One hundred and four
is waiting for @cogdog to even the score.
One hundred and five
is just hoping to keep the rhyme alive
till one hundred and six
when we all jump into the mix.
And there he is,
there at one hundred and seven,
the great Alan Liddell!
We are here wishing you
and the revolution well.

@toddconaway @creating @cogdog Love the Alan Liddell reference

@jimgroom Yeah, he was a good #ds106 revolutionary.
"The revolution being led by Mr. Liddell seems worthy and given the egregious and nefarious behavior of the Mr. Groom on the Twitter and on Justin’s telly…"

Hah, I knew and I forgot. This was the roll call for the donation drive to keep #ds106 alive — and it worked! I recall a conversation planning this between @jimgroom and @timmmmyboy over burgers at Five Guys…. amiwrong?
