Eye Five

Back in college, JT and I used to play a game called Torin’s Passage. It was a single-player game, so JT would control the character, and we’d work through the puzzles together. I don’t really remember much about the game other than the graphics were pretty cool for that time. But I do remember this one part where our character came across these two snails, Slim and Slime. They were giving us a hard time, insulting and making fun of us. Every time they’d throw out an insult, they’d say, “Eye Five!” and then they’d slap their eyeballs together. For some reason that had JT and I in stitches. To this day, neither of us can hear someone say, “Give me a high five,” without attempting to correct them that it is in fact an Eye Five.
