Egypt 3?

Since I am feeling like this blog is half of what it once was, I thought I would share this amusing anecdote...

I was driving to work this week and this red sports car whizzed by and pulled up in front of me. When I looked at the license plate it read, "Egypt 3". I was a bit surprised... Egypt 3? "What can that mean?" I asked Cat. She didn't care, so I was left to contemplate this on my own. I then began thinking, "Well, this person must have a reason for being Egypt 3, at least enough to put it on his license plate." But then I thought, "Well, I have no reason at all for my web site to be Egypt 6, other than my old bowling team name, which also had no real reason behind it either." I found myself troubled by this. I still am actually. My only thoughts on the matter thus far have been that:

a) If there is an Egypt 3, they must be catching up to me. I might need to buy the domain for Egypt 6 just in case.

b) 6 is still more than 3, so therefore, my Egypt must be better.

Clearly, I have little going for me at this point to be thinking about this so much, but I thought I would share.

This is intrguiging...It would have been interseting to see who was driving the car...was it, in fact, an Egyptian? Someone with a fascination for Egypt for whatever reason? Man or woman? Not that the latter has any bearing on anything at all, necessarily, but you never know...however, since 3 is only half of 6, and since 6 is twice as much as 3, I would say that we are at least twice as good as Egypt 3. Perhaps we could google Egypt 3 and see what arises...in other news, I am getting a new computer as a graduation present from my parents, so once that happenes, it will be much easier for me to contribute to the blog...

a) This is also troubling. Not because someone is catching up to you in
"Egypt" monikers, but because there's a possibility -- however small --
that someone else thinks like Joe Chiappa. :D Simply frightening.
You SHOULD get the domain, regardless. You never know when something will
happen that makes the domain "egypt6.com" suddenly valuable, and then you
lost your chance when people register every possible permutation of it.

b) Yes.
