Think Like A Roman!

The Romans wrote the numeral five as a V . Think like a gladiator this year and bring VICTORY to our fifth and final ride.

ALL ABOUT FIVE...
Defined as a number, a numeral, and a glyph, ( had to look that one up!), five smells really good, as in Chanel #5.  Five sounds great, as in album Number Five by the Steve Miller Band,  5 by Lenny Kravitz, or Beethoven's 5th .  Five is high brow and visually intriguing in No. 5, 1948 by painter Jackson Pollack.

Humorist Charles Schultz brought a kid named Five into the Peanuts clan. 
555 95472, or "5" for short, debuted in the September 30, 1963 strip, and appeared occasionally until 1981.  A boy close in age to Charlie Brown and Linus van Pelt, "5" had brown spiky hair, and he wore an orange shirt with the number 5 on it.

"5" was given a numerical name by his father, who was upset over the preponderance of numbers in our lives.  "5" had twin sisters, dark-haired girls named 3 and 4 and they appeared occasionally until the mid-sixties.

All three comic strip siblings appear in A Charlie Brown Christmas where they have non-speaking roles, but demonstrate distinctive 1960's dance moves during the dancing scene.  "5's" dance is the famous head-bobbing, side-to-side shuffle that has been widely parodied by many fans of Christmas after drinking too much eggnog! 

"5" also played for Charlie Brown's baseball team. It is conjectured that "5" played third base, since 5 is scorer's shorthand for the third baseman.
