Should I stop at a perfectly palindromic 1111 posts?
This will be my only chance.
Why not stop at 11111?
"The first thing I learned upon becoming a head coach after fifteen years as an assistant was the enormous difference between making a suggestion and making a decision."
"They talk about the economy this year. Hey, my hairline is in recession, my waistline is in inflation. Altogether, I'm in a depression."
"I like to bike. I could beat Lance Armstrong, only because he couldn't pass me if he was behind me."

Good idea. Don't post again until November 12th. Think how cool that would be.

It's not perfect. You're missing the comma on both ends.

Somewhat off the topic, but does anyone else here keep an eye on their odometer for when it hits a palindrome? I've mentioned it on CUF before I believe, but this is one of my personal OCDish quirks.

There's three rules that I live by: never get less than twelve hours sleep; never play cards with a guy who's got the same first name as a city; and never go near a lady's got a tattoo of a dagger on her body. Now you stick to that, everything else is cream cheese. --Coach Finstock

I do since your post about it.

It's to the point where it's starting to bother me. I can't even drive until I've looked at the odometer, calculated how many miles until the next palindrome, and then made a mental note to try to look at the odometer about 5 miles before it turns palindrome again. I even did this when I drove a friend's car this weekend. Yes, I'm going insane.

When I was really into 311 back in college, I would obsessively look at the clocks at 3:11. I would also notice the number (addresses, motel room #s) all over the place.
That one waned. I imagine yours will too. Sic transit gloria mundi

I once had an old car (kind of a classic) with an odometer that rolled over at 100,000 miles. When it rolled to all zeros I pulled over and unscrewed the speedometer cable so it would stay that way. Does that count?
