there's a friends trivia game?

i saw the 'friends triva' game at a wizards of the coast store last year and laughed aloud.

i laughed reallly hard repeatedly saying 'oh man, oh man, who would buy that?'.

it then turned out that someone who'd come along had actually played the game and went on to say that it was a lot of fun.

so then i was pointing at him, laughing loud and repeatedly saying 'oh man, oh man, who would play that?'.

and now it's happened to me. i have no cable and netflix is too slow. i've been living in a layer that's shielded from reality by an endless succession of episodes from friends.

i'm (gulp) more than halfway through them. soon it'll be over. there'll be no more self-involved-shallow-navel-gazing-narcissistic-peurile-twenty-somethings-who-need-to-get-a-life types keeping me laughing.

what am i going to do? oh what oh what oh what?

here's a thought - i could always get cable, tune in to cnn and watch self-involved-shallow-navel-gazing-narcissistic-peurile-fifty-somethings-who-need-to-get-a-life types talk about the 'situation' in iraq and how it's awful that the natives are fighting back and how they have the audacity to resist the invasion. why can't they just let the damned oil flow freely?

i know, i know. you think i have the shallow view that iraq was all about the oil.

you're wrong. i see the bigger picture. it's not as simple as 'walk in there and take the oil'. it's more like 'walk in there, get rid of the guys in power, get rid of most of the people who don't toe the line, bomb and destroy everything, hand out contracts to rebuild everything, and then, only then - take the oil'.

it's a shame when a well-thought-out strategy like that gets all messed up by insurgents blowing up oil fields.


btw, have you seen my spigot? i left it by the comma.
