This one's for you, Stephanie. And Hector.

It's not like I had high expectations. I would've taken a cheap Bloodsport parody and a few jokes revolving around paddles to the nether regions. But even that was too much to ask. Balls of Fury (no link, they don't deserve any promotion) was hands-down the worst movie I've seen in at least five years

when i saw the link to brownstone billiards i thought this was going to be something about some sort of permanent handicap to your ping pong, excuse me, table tennis game. (i still hold onto hopes that someday it might be perhaps possible to beat you.) too bad it's just about eating bugs.

i commend you, however, on your food adventuresomeness. btw, i recently talked with some korean friends about live tentacles and they said that the secret is to eat them head first. (wait, do they leave the heads on?)

[sadotter]

Nope, my table game just keeps getting better and better. I hope you've been staying sharp!

If you leave the heads attached to the tentacles...well, then, aren't you just eating whole, live octopus? That is, aren't octopi just made up of head & tentacles?

[never_the_less]

yes to the octopus question. but apparently they eat whole live octopus in korea?!?! is this possible? i will have to ask. it was two koreans debating the best way to eat live tentacles without choking to death.

i haven't played ping pong (let's face it -- i play ping pong, you play table tennis, since you actually have a game) since NY. it's sad. i need to find some MIT nerds whose dorm rec room i can crash....oh god, life in cambridge...i don't want to think about it!

thanks for diffusing that, ben! i never know when g is going to laugh at something or take offense at something. luck of the draw.

I didn't even realize it was getting testy until I took another glance. But yeah, I know whatcha mean. Happy to help.

glad you didn't notice! once she has you in her target, she can be incredibly moody. i guess i am the target right now :(
i don't take it personally though because she does this with practically everyone she knows and everyone knows what it's like. if she's really upset by this neti-pot mention (which she was hilariously laughing about all that night), she just made it weirder by posting a comment on my lj. ugh. but yeah, thanks!
