How to roll an imaginary 6-sided die in your head

@cjankelson: Fair enough; I am probably misusing the word “pseudorandom” – I researched the hack almost 10 years ago. Thanks for setting me straight. However, hacks are quick and dirty. This one is meant to provide some fun on road trips, poolside, and other places you’re unlikely to have any physical dice or be able to roll them if you do. Doing high end statistical analysis of it to make big money in Vegas is silly. (Analyzing it for curiosity or s/g is not, of course.) Moreover, if you want a less lumpy spread of numbers, as I mentioned, pick words from your environment instead of from your head.
