How Did You Get Your Six-Pack?

I see so many success stories that are so inspiring and what I'm wondering is how you got such great definition in your abs? Some say there aren't specific exercises for your abs, other swear by them. . . do crunches . . .crunches don't work . . .so tell me, what is the secret to great abs? Mine are currently hibernating under a layer of squishy stuff, but I plan on waking them up and showing them off . . .someday!
