And All Our Lives Were Lost In Vain, Now They've Got More To Fear Than A Hurricane...

Or, The Whale - Call and Response

I like the name of this band. It makes me want to read Moby Dick. Perhaps I should have read that already at this point in my life, but I guess what can you do?


So I got breakfast with my amiga this morning, per our brand new ritual of "Mondays With Awesome." I believe she named it, but I'm not totally sure which one of us she's labeling as the awesome one. I like to think me.

But it was pretty rad. We sat in a coffeeshop and played my new favorite game. It's called "Let's Judge Strangers." Here's how you play. Basically, you watch strangers walk past, and judge them. It's great fun.


Speaking of new games, wait for it. I legit invented this one, and it's going to be huge. It's intended purely for when you're at a party with large quantities of drunk people. Here's what you do. You go to a party with a sleeve of crackers (preferably Ritz, but other generic brands work as well). Walk around at the party, go up to people having a conversation, and when one of them is talking, insert a cracker into their mouth. Then walk away. It's basically the best thing ever.

It might not sound like much, but I swear, if you do it, you'll think it's hilarious. Because it totally is.

And when it's an international craze, just know that you heard it here first.
