The only thing I have to post is that I posted earlier in this forum.

I posted then I re posted because I read the first post I posted and wondered if anyone besides me, of cousre read or even re read my posts? I don't mean to brag, I don't mean to boast but I just came on here to read between the posts.

Wow, that's the second reference to my first post. Or something.

I was wondering when Justin would post, but then I suppose he could have already because no one really takes much notice of him anyway.

Is this the last post in this thread?

I'm not suggesting that it actually will be, as that would be a prediction. I've never made a prediction, and I never will.

And you retain your record.

Am I the only one who who feels the need to check other sections on the Café, but I just really want to zoom on down to the "Not very magical"???

It's much more fun in here.


Can I get an amen from the congregation?!!!

This post was going to ask "Are there other sections?". But I realized that wasn't self-referencing. But if you want to read a non-self-referencing joke, read the question in quotes, two sentences back. Oh, I mean three.

P.S. I thought of this sentence, after I had written the above.

This sentence has never been written before.

This sentence attempts to express its author's delight at Josh the Superfluous's clever sentences, but does not quite manage to do so.

I'm just wondering why Harry Lorayne hasn't made a post here.


(Just kidding. Harry's great. Buy his books.)

^ Funniest post of the year!

sorry for the non self-referencing post . . .


Um . . . never mind.

It used to be that I couldn't spell narcissist. Now I are one! Hooray for me!

This is craziness.

This post contains Jim Propp's S.R.A.T. (Self-Referential Aptitude Test). The solution to the puzzle is unique, and in some cases the knowledge that the solution is unique can actually give you a short-cut to finding the answer to a particular question, but it's possible to find the unique solution even without making use of the fact that the solution is unique.

Note from Jim Propp: I should mention that if you don't agree with me about the answer to #20, you will get a different solution to the puzzle than the one I had in mind. But I should also mention that if you don't agree with me about the answer to #20, you are just plain wrong.
