September 05, 2003 - 12:31 p.m. As promised� The Northeast Adventure Diaries, Part III So after our grand expedition to parts north (of Burlington) Opera Chick and I decided to take it easy for a night. We got food and decided to revisit our
Monster: Wait a minute, then every time either of us lands on a pie question we have to, um, �drink� Opera Chick: You have a problem with that? Monster: No, just making sure. Opera Chick: Ok then. Monster: Let the games begin! So it began innocently enough, but things quickly took a turn for the stooopid. In order to capture the moment as it was, I give you stream of mostly-conscious-ness. After a few �drinks� Monster:You mean I�ve really gotten so old that I�m already so messed up that I don�t even want a �drink�?! Ooh, keep talking about what I just said, I don�t want to forget what I was saying, I want to write it down. Oh, (off of cigarette burning out in ashtray) damn I really wanted to smoke that! Oh, oh, oh, write write write, can�t forget, must write I can�t spell write. Damn homonym. After a few more� Monster: What African animal kills the most people? OC:Uhh, well hippopotami, hoppopotamee, hippopotamuses, yes, that�s it, are really mean�and they have a two year gestation period. Monster: Uh huh�and that�s why they�re so mean, �cause they�re knocked up for 2 years? How do you know that anyway?? OC:Oh, from my safari in South Africa. Uhhh�wait! We saw a rhinoceros with a baby, not a hippopotamus, so maybe it was�well, it�s either a hippopotamus or a rhinoceros. Monster: Crocodile. OC:Right! Crocodile, yeah yeah I knew that. Monster: Pie piece. OC:Yeah, but I got it wrong. Monster:Yes, yes you did�you got it wrong, on a pie piece� OC: Dammit! Monster: Heh, look what you�ve wrought. OC: Shut it and gimme that. OC:What is the meaning of Quo Vadis? Monster: You know I really regret never taking Latin. OC: Really? Monster: Yeah, like twice a week I think about it. You know my mom always said I�d regret not taking Latin. OC: You should�ve listened to your mother. Monster: I keep hearing that. Several questions later� OC: What�s the Latin name for the Northern Lights. Heh. Monster: Oooh, I know that one! Aurora Borealis. Aww yeah, who needs Latin! OC: What subject did Mr. Chips teach in Goodbye Mr. Chips? Monster: Aww, hell I don�t know, Engligh? OC: Hee! Latin. Monster: Figures. Bastard. Monster: Ok, here�s an interesting one, What is the root of all evil? OC: Are you kidding?? Monster: Nope. That doesn�t seem so much like a trivia question, more of a philosophical discussion. OC: Yeah, I think that�s kind of subjective. Monster: Not according to Trivial Pursuit. Apparently, it�s the love of money. OC: Good to know. Monster: I thought so. OC: Hey, do you remember when I last noticed the time? Monster: Yeah, that was a really long time ago. OC: It was a half hour ago. Monster: Huh. Next time on The Northeast Adventure Diaries, Part IV� What�s missing from Victoria Secret�s line of clothing? The eternal question about wine spritzers and CANADA baby! � Wondering:What truly is the root of all evil...I'm thinking Spandex.
Doing:Reliving the dream.
Wishing:I were playing Trivial Pursuit
