As you may well know, today is June 6, 2006 or in shorthand notation 6/6/06, the mark of the beast. As the church lady would say, “mmmmm, isn’t that special?”

This day reminds me of a song I heard a loooong time ago called “Sweat Loaf” by the Butthole Surfers (pleasant name). It starts off with a nice conversation between an all American boy and his all American dad.

1. Son

   Daddy?

2. Dad

   Yes, son?

3. Son

   What does regret mean?

4. Dad

   Well a funny thing about regret is, its better to regret something you have done, then to regret something you haven't done....Oh and if you see your mother this weekend remember to tell her- SATAN, SATAN, SATAN

So in commemoration of this numerologically significant day, be sure to show the evil horns gesture to somebody today and include a little head banging. Our President will lead us with a showing of the horns.

I always knew he was in with the Devil

Don't forget the real significance of this day amidst all the movie release hype.

I never ever thought I would see the lyrics to that song on the web, much less on a programming blog. I saw the Surfers several times while in school (loved their stuff) and that brought back some memories.

A friend of mine once played a really nasty trick on some door-to-door missionaries using that song - he had his roommate go cue up the "SATAN" part while he engaged the people at the door, feigning interest in their teachings. At last, when all was ready, he ended the conversation by syaing something like "Well, that all sounds really good, but the problem is that I am a follower of..." and then the roommate hit play, with the stereo at 11 :-)

What do you have to say?
