terryclothOr lack thereof. We decided we'd rather watch 'Gary the Rat' and play Magic.
Gary the Rat was funny. A lot of it was formula -- it starts with a nightmare, then the credits, then him in his office talking to his mother at the nursing home... and of course you need a scene where the boss threatens to fire him, and a scene where he talks to the cheese delivery boy and gives him money to go kill himself, and a scene where someone's head gets chopped off.
But it was its own personal formula, so it was funny.
As far as Magic is concerned, I hadn't remembered to bring my cards (I have three decks packed in a little carboard thingie suitable for shoving in my laptop bag) so I played a mono-green deck made from Murdock's leftovers, which was based mostly on the principle that Aspect of Woof and Gaia's Liege are cheesy cards. And that Lure defeats the slow-acting multiplayer-specific decks people were playing with. I won one, lost the next (by getting decked), then won the last two by default -- the other players resigned when I looked like I was ahead, even if I wasn't really about to win in the next turn or three.
Then we chatted a bunch about how messed up Piers Anthony and Jack Chalker were.
I brought Arby's for dinner, but since Snowwy didn't show up... well, I have a lot of Arby's left. Like, ten sandwiches. How am I going to eat all of those? More importantly, how am I going to NOT eat all of those?
