I scored 110 on yesterday's test (not counting the infinity cheat), for those who asked. And for those who objected: ya know, it's entirely possible that the scoring isn't scientific. Simmer down.
As for the Pirates, I am their collateral damage. I do not care about the Pirates. Yet there's no listening to Pittsburgh media without accidentally hearing suicidal lamentations about this franchise. I can't decide which analogy is more apt, so I give you two to choose from:
- You know how you feel when you're watching the Olympics and curling comes on, and before you know it you've been watching Latvian women's curling for a precious hour of your ever-dwindling life? This is worse.
- My dog Ed would flip your hand atop her muzzle, commanding you to pet her. And so you scritched her pretty ears, and she sighed appreciatively, and five minutes later you look down and realize that she's turned around and now you're scratching her ass. Same feeling.
