I was going to name my child Seven, Mickey Mantle's number, a great name for a boy or a girl. Then some friends overheard it and stole it for their baby.


"Seven, Mickey Mantle's number, a great name for a boy or a girl" you get over here right now, ya hear?!


My first thought was the Voyager character called "Seven" (or Seven of Nine) played by Teri Ryan.


youre doing a seinfeld bit right?

season 7 ep 13


Took you two whole minutes, I'll have to pick something more obscure next time.


This is kind of depressing: every time I make a somewhat-obscure sci-fi reference here, usually no one gets it (or it takes a very long time). But an obscure Seinfeld reference gets a full citation in 2 minutes.


If it helps, my first thought was Seven of Nine[1].

Nothing Seinfeld is obscure.


Exactly. And if you don't say seven in the emphatic manner George says it who are you.


In my whole life I was able to watch 20 minutes of Seinfeld. I feel that i must be an exceedingly weird person to find it absurdly boring and depressing when almost everyone loves it.


The idiot child from "Married with Children" who was eventually abandoned on a street corner when they got tired of him?
