Stupidest quote of the week: From Bryce Zabel, chairman of the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences, regarding the numerous Emmy nominations for HBO's "Six Feet Under":
"This is a very good day to be a member of 'Six Feet Under.' They're not six feet under, they're on top of the world."
Oh dear.

Bleah. I am extraordinarily lethargic this week. Last evening, I was so lazy that I watched an entire episode of the syndicated version of "The Weakest Link." What is wrong with me? Working hypothesis: Lack of exercise because it is too, too warm to play disc golf. Secondary working hypothesis: I'm hot, and moving only makes me hotter1.

The Hierarchy of Games for a Group of Four People, in alphabetical order:
500.500 is the best two-on-two card game ever invented; it's best described as a stupid man's Bridge or a smart man's Euchre. (Euchre would be on the list if 500 weren't.)
Hearts. You are all nodding your heads in agreement, I see.
Nerts. As Ed has said, four is the bare minimum for a quality game of Nerts.
Scattergories.
Spades. I prefer every-man-and-woman-for-him-or-herself rather than the partners version described here, but whatever. It's still tres cool.
I'm sure ya'll complain about omissions. (I did consider I Doubt It [a.k.a. B.S.], although it's just been too long since I've played that to be comfortable with its inclusion.)

"Hush, hush. What's the rush? East-coast children do too much." No, I’m yet done with the Burger King thing. Take it up with upper management.

Oh, and... Two points for the first person to name above quote's artist and song.

1 "Hot" here is, of course, meant in the sense that I am sweltering and not in the sense that I am fetching. But if you've seen me, you already knew that, no?

i sincerely do not know what you are doing here. are you lost? were you
looking for your delicate calico cat, and did you follow her up two flights of stairs
to this room? she is not here. she was here, yes. we gave her a warm bowl of milk, we talked with her about campaign finance reform for a time, and then she bid us good day. i believe she was
going to the post office two blocks down, but i don't quite recall.
for surely you did
not find your way from prinsiana, the least traveled site on
the internet. if you did, though, perhaps you are looking for humor. perhaps you are looking for profundity. perhaps you are looking for answers.
i'm sorry, but you shall go naught-for-three.
