On the subject of a new name/number for the latest of the Shinglehofer stable, I consulted Doktor Snake at Voodoo U.,
http://www.doktorsnake.com/ who was hittin' a bong made from an elephant's shinbone, and clearing his throat with a little Yukon Jack. Best as I can recollect, this was his advice:
“Luck numbers ain’t the same as lucky numbers. Don’t confuse the two. Seven is a lucky number to conjure or hoodoo by. Nine is better. Three is also a good number. Five is better, though. Four times four is the great number. Neither the Devil, nor his wife, can refuse to help you in working a charm with that number written into it. Ten is an unlucky number. Don’t never go near it.”
Or you could evaluate potential numbers using the aincent lore of domino fortunetelling, as related to me by Madame Sonja....
Here’s what you do:
■Place all dominoes face down and then shuffle them.
■Use three dominoes for the reading. You can select them in either of two ways: (1) Pick up all three at once, or (2) choose them one at a time, reading the chosen domino and divining its message and then returning it to the pile to be shuffled again.
■With the second method, you could find yourself drawing the same tile twice. If this happens, whatever you have predicted is likely to come to pass very soon, or even immediately.
■Which ever way you pick up the dominoes, it’s best to use only three at one sitting.
