88 is not funny at all, it has quite a meaning!

I'm sure that's not what Gargoyle meant. I think Gargoyle meant if you place a 6 on top of a 9, with the two circles created, it can look like an 8 - and that's why it was a fun number.

I think Gargoyle meant something entirely different ;)

But which is better... 77 or 88?

I'd never heard that reference. I was thinking of a different one, wherein 88 is just another way of saying 69. (ate-e-ate)

And with that explaination, I'll probably be guilty of sending this thread to OMNI, where it will freeze the coast pounts. :(

Well, wanted to savor the experience of 6969...and share with the rest of FT...

Here might be three different ways of getting color wrapped up for maximum performance in your 6969-ness:

https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...41cafeaff8.jpghttps://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...ad760632b7.png
https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...27e640344f.jpg

And, some might also be getting horn-y - which frequently happens in 6969...
