And some Boggle moments.

(My parents and I are playing Boggle.)
My dad: (reading his words off) "Wans".
Me: What's a wan?
My mom: Obi and his brother Don.

I don't know which is weirder: the fact that I got my first two 11-point words in the same round* (retoucher and retosser, ftw!), or the fact that when I said "20X6!", I sounded just about exactly like Stinkoman.

* Round = to 100 points.

Is it wrong that when I heard 20X6, my mind shot instantly to Gundam Wing?

(Despite the fact that I haven't seen it... and there's no 20...)

It's from Homestar Runner. ^_^ It's supposed to parody the years with X's that games like Megaman take place in. I haven't seen Gundam Wing either - what's the reference?

The fandom denotes its pairings through multiplication problems. (Heero is 1, Duo 2, Trowa 3, Quatre 4, Chang 5... then it gets kinda hazy and I don't know it by heart, but I think it goes up to 13. XD)

Oh. Like in Codename: Kids Next Door. ('course, they've got a canon reason...)

GW does too, at least for the first five.

(Names derived from words for one/two/three/four/five in various languages, IIRC. "Duo" and "Quatre" should be obvious, but I'm not sure 'bout the rest.)

I figured you'd appreciate it. :D "His brother Don"!

But Obi-Wan's brother is Anakin. And Darth Maul.

So Anakin and Maul are Don? Ooh, plot development!
