We kick it off at the Ugly American at 8 p.m., where Duane’s World has won two straight weeks following an 8 week domination by L. Ron Hubbard’s Diabetics. Rumor has it that the Diabetics will be a little short handed this week, so there may be a chance for a new team to slip into the mix. On to the Bards, where the crowds have started to pick back up a bit, but we’re still not at fall levels, so there are tables to be had. Action starts at 10:15 p.m. And if you have any great round ideas, hit me up on facebook. Hope to see ya tonight.
Once again, teams of mathemeticians race to discover the algorithm that converts the posted starting times into the actual starting times.
There is a word in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy series; “recipriversexcluson”. This is a number whose existence can only be defined as being anything other than itself. In other words, the posted starting time is the one moment in time at which it is impossible that the quiz will begin.
If you consider time to be a series of infintesimally tiny points on a continuum, then it would be practically impossible for Goodtimes to start at such a precise point. And you'd have to define “start.” When he shows up? Unpacks his quizzo paraphenalia? Clears his throat?
Speaking of time, Matt, I couldn't help but notice that the above is listed as having been posted “1 day ago.” I believe JGT's entry didn't even exist on this site more than a few hours ago. How did you manage to travel back in time to post a comment before an entry existed? Do you have superhuman powers?
Among my many superhuman powers is the ability to post as Mike Minion, and yes, to manipulate temporal dimensions on internet blog services. Though actually, I think what happened here is that JGT deleted the previous “Quizzo Tonight” entry, but that Mike's post there was reanimated or something when JGT tagged a newer entry with “Quizzo Tonight” a day later.
