August 28th, 2008 · Comments

We did the above sign in comic sans because our research shows people like it as a way [...]

Patch Victory

August 24th, 2008 · Comments

I enjoy a good auction.  I enjoy running one even more.  Auctions are battle of wits and represents a very strong suspension of disbelief from the audience with the I’ll-pay-this-much-if-you-convince-me-it’s-worth-that-much methodology as the cornerstone of success.

Fun at Doylestown Hospital

August 13th, 2008 · Comments

So, the day started out great, with crispy bacon in the Dining Hall and everything.  I thought I could slip away from the shackles of karma, but I couldn’t.  One of the provos destroyed his ankle while waving at Andy Clarke.  Injury often stalks those who wave to the Briton.  I, being the only one [...]
