I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

They're saying Pierre Thomas was knocked out. Not good.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I just learnt what a tontine is. Excellent! A brilliant setup for killing everyone around you. I'm trying to work out if I read about/seen tontine-like scenarios in fiction, and how much you can play with it.

I learned about tontines from Barney Miller when I was pretty young. It makes me feel smart every time I am having them explained to me in a new fictional setting, because they do make for fun times in murder mysteries.

This is not a relaxing game, btw, so my "it's the playoffs, I'm chill" theory must not be right. Too bad.

Definitely not relaxing.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Takeaways - that's the Niners whole game.
