How do you pronounce the name of the TV show NUMB3RS? Is it Numb-three-R-S? I like to think so.
I love number insertions into words. The first one I can recall is for the movie Se7en. Which was awkward in a sense, because a 7 looks nothing like a V, but overall I found it relevant, since they put a 7 in the title of a movie called Seven. Obviously.
With NUMB3RS, what does a 3 have to do with the show? Nothing, aside from the fact that it’s a number, and I guess it’s like a backwards E. But with that logic they could’ve called it NUMBER5. A 5 looks more like an S than a 3 does an E. Although then people would think the show was called Number 5. I bet they had this exact same discussion when they were thinking of how to cram a number in to the title of the show.
Which leads us to my greatest call, loyal readers may recall, I stated many moons ago that the fifth season of LOST should be called LO5T, the 5 symbolizing Season 5. God, that is so fucking awesome and is so the shit. I wish the producers of NUMB3RS read this blog, because I’ve got the ideas right here (pointing to my dick). Why do I assume they don’t? I am so negative.
Back to Se7en, when you read it in your head, do you pronounce it Seven, or Se-seven-en? ANSWER ME!!!
My name rules. It is 44R0N. You might wonder what 44 has to do with me. Well, brainiac, 44 is the number on my softball jersey. And what about the zero in place of the O, you say… perceptive. Well, I used to be a zero, but I’m becoming a hero.
The other day I was driving and I saw a license plate that read M43STRO. I thought that was cool.Even though I don’t like the 3 in place of the E. I like to imagine that he was a famous maestro, known across the world for his brilliance and millions and millions of DOLL4R$. That is so S1CK.
Is there a word for the art of inserting numbers into words in place of certain letters? If not, it should be called 1N53RT10N.
You’re probably thinking, This blog is too long, there are no pictures, blah blah, I’m just skimming at this point, la de dum. Fine. Here are some fucking pictures:
