I’m seeing 6’s everywhere. cannolis

“Leave the gun, take the cannoli.” Six words, and it’s The Godfather! “We don’t need no stinkin’ badges.” The Treasure of the Sierra Madre/Blazing Saddles. You’re welcome. “Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya.” Brilliant. There’s even a six-fingered man! And then there’s the age-old question: What came first, Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon or the six-word sentence? Scientists are still trying to figure out that one.

Mark was struck with the six fever first. That time, it was Little Red Riding Hood. Big Bad Wolf: Likes to eat cute little girls. Then I tried it out. Hansel and Gretel: “Sometimes ovens are to be feared.”

Riff on a Mission: Send us your favorite six’s. Movies, songs, fairy tales, whatever. We adore what you’ve been doing so far (tell your friends!). Let’s have a little fun with what’s already happening in the comment section.

Six words later,
