I'm kind of psyched for Alcatraz. I hope it doesn't suck.
Did you not add the water, Ginger?
Nobody can tell Marmaduke what to do. That's my kind of dog.

That was a helluva pick.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Brees isn't getting away with some of the stuff he's been able to get away with so far.
I am kind of pretending not to watch. At least, not staring at the screen directly.

I did not add the water. Trying to dump the batter back in the bowl and add water after it had been cooking for about 10 minutes seemed like it might also lead to failure. It was a fairly wet batter anyway.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.
Mystery writers used to love Tontines - because not only a great setup for murder, but if the murders was clever, it took a lot of deaths before you could narrow down your suspect list.
Not really good for itas idea but: I heard about (but am not sure) some modern life insurance pools are a sort of backdoor reverse tontine. Most people with life insurance cash them in before death, often at a hefty penalty. Well in some pools (and BillyTea I hope will correct me if I got this wrong) not all of that penalty is profit for the insurer. Some of it goes back into the fund and adds to the return for those who stay in. So you "win" by not cashing out while alive, but staying in until you die. Or at least the person collecting wins that way. I always wondered when hearing this, "are there really life policies with variable payouts like that?". Again BillyTea probably knows whether I misunderstood something or whether there are actual policies like this.

If it seemed wet maybe it will be okay.

Yeah it is. I might need a beer if we ever actually get to halftime.
