Good to know that rain does not keep people away as much as fire. Last night saw a pretty sassy crowd in the house. I know it was my kind of night when I was accosted by someone who used words like 'modernity' and 'interiority' to explain why I would like the book they were reading/class they were taking. I love that stuff.
We had a very competitive quiz with a tie for first in overall score, with another team perhaps actually having the highest score that was overlooked due to an accounting error. (Don't worry, they were compensated.). In any case, Team #19 Barely Purple, Dave's Not Here emerged from the tiebreaker, but failed to win the big jackpot. It will rollover to next week.
Team #2 St. Louis Rams Win Biggest Loser Competition After Losing 300lbs. of Ugly Fat won round 4 and have provided these categories for round 3 of next week:
- Grandmaster Flash & the Furious Five
- James Frey Novels
- Intervention (A&E)
- Detroit Lions
- X-Planes
- Assault Rifles
- Mad Men (TV Show)
- Sade
- Neil Diamond
- Schutzhund
- Hitchcock Films
- Hydromulch
- 1980's Funk
- Spiderman Villians
- Garfield (comic strip)
Results:
Barely Purple, Dave's Not Here - 30.5
Our Creative Juices Contain Pulp - 30.5
St. Louis Rams Win Biggest Loser Competition After Losing 300lbs. of Ugly Fat - 29.83
Jake Sweeps Chris in Three - 29.5
Mark Yudof Can Kiss Our Shapely Asses - 28
That must be some sort of bizarro-world youtube. The comments are amazingly different than the standard.

Um...yes, a youtube video discussing Foucault and Habermas and the incompleteness of modernity is a bit different than cats playing keyboards.
And yes, NYT requires free account to read their stuff. Choose to do so or not according to your own personal values system.
