So what do you think? World ending today? Yeah... me neither. Anyone plan to see the new Omen? Yeah... me neither. That movie looks like the biggest turd since Alexander. (It's not difficult to make people in a movie theatre jump; what is difficult is making a movie that is actually scarry. This one is not it. Hollywood just can't be that scarry on the clock.) Evil is scarry; this poopling is just a movie.
The real question of course, is which of these films is worse...
So what is evil? Hatred? Bigotry? Violence? Yeah... okay, no argument there. But what I really want to draw our attention to is the evil of Pong. That's right, Cachinnatees, Pong. That evil little game that you can't stop playing. That caveman video game. That mind-numbing obsession that is older than I. Evil.
So because it'll be 1000 years before 6/6/06 comes around again, I feel I must do my part in pretending like there's something special or bad about today. Look to the right of this post, Cachinnatees... and just try to stop playing. EVIL!!!
30 Cachinnations
I actually had one of the original Atari Pong home systems back in the day (mid-70s). I don't know what ever became of it, but obviously now I wish I still had it...
...So that I could sell it to some nerdy collector on E-Bay for thousands of dollars.
Of course, in another fifty years, I'd be sitting there in my nursing home, quietly living out my last days, and I'd see an episode of Antiques Roadshow where that same system is being valued at $2.4 million for being such a rarity...

There is a greater evil than Pong. It's called Bejeweled.

Aw...1000 years? I'm already feeling the post-6/6/6 blues. *sigh*

PONG rocks...i love pong...i could play pong for hours...me and Charles Manso...wait i mean...pong is of the devil!!

I don't really get the big deal. I mean....It's not like it's the true 6/6/6. That was a looong time ago. That little zero gets in the way. (and the 20)
Posted on 6/06/2006
I didn't even realize there WAS a big deal. Was there some kind of apocalypse scare or something?

YOU HAVE SIX COMMENTS ON 6/6/6!!
Oh, wait...not anymore. Sorry.
Posted on 6/06/2006
I have often thought about naming my 1st born child:
Six Six Six Ward.
But Amber won't go for it.
Posted on 6/06/2006
Well how about Six Six Six Cent Stand then?
Posted on 6/06/2006
Right, Seth. Just like I won't go for Herbert Sebastian Ward. Or name him after a lion that the natives call Intwi De Mela (He Who Greets With Fire) that you saw on a National Geographic.
Cach, Six Six Six Cent Stand could give Fifty Cent a run for his money. Can't you hear the self titled single?
Six Six Six Cent Stand...yo!...C'mon!
Six Six Six Cent Stand...raise yo' hands, y'all!
Six Six Six...uh...uh...uh
Six Six Six Cent Stand

... of the Beast!!!
Posted on 6/06/2006
Hmmm. So we're doing fun names for Seth and Amber's offspring, then?
E. Mergency Ward
Fifth Ward
Microsoft Ward
Montgomerey Ward
Dove O. Ward
Tony O. Ward
Darwin O. Ward
Nory Ward
Myra Ward
(Somebody stop me!)

NICE!!!!
Posted on 6/07/2006
Oh, if you only knew Seth's real name.
But I won't say. Or will I? .....
Posted on 6/07/2006
SAY!!!! You absolutely must SAY!!!
Posted on 6/07/2006
NNOOOOO. SHE MUST ABSOLUTELY NOOOOT say.
Posted on 6/07/2006
Oh, the temptation. The unmistakable wonderful temptation. What if I just told them the initials, Seth?
Posted on 6/07/2006
you do and I tell them your worst gass-passing story EVER. bring it on woman.
Posted on 6/07/2006
This could be sort of a Rumplestiltskin thing.
We could make guesses until we got it right...
Posted on 6/07/2006
I actually know what it is.
Posted on 6/07/2006
How bad could it be? Percy? Dexter? Prescott? D'Quon? Escobar?
Posted on 6/08/2006
I should probably just say what it is, and save Amber from having to get in trouble.
To me, it's not bad at all. It's unusual, but not bad.
Here's a clue: Seth has mentioned it in a blog entry, though it wasn't mentioned as being his own name at the time.

C-Hammer, I must forfeit my playing rights over to you. It is just to risky for me to go on. I'm out.
Seth, you are an evil man.
Posted on 6/08/2006
So how about it, Seth?
How much is it worth to you to keep this little secret just between you and me?
>:-)
Perhaps you would do a free concert for a church group here in Nashville?
Posted on 6/08/2006
I've got it! It's Teresa!
Posted on 6/08/2006
Cach - Close, but no cigar.
Okay, no. Actually, that wasn't really a very good guess at all.
Another clue: A man by this name appears in the Old Testament, in 1 Chronicles.
Seth - Are you the least bit curious as to how I know this information?
Posted on 6/08/2006
I've got it! It's Kiriathjearim! Ha ha! I've got it!
Posted on 6/09/2006
Cach - Ya got me there. That was a totally worthless clue. I started looking randomly through 1 Chronicles and realized that there are hundreds, nay thousands, of names in that book.
Our little Rumplestiltskin game is going quite nicely but... lately it seems to be sans Seth and Amber.
What, do they have actual lives to live or something? :-)
