I haven't read it yet, but McSweeney's seems to have a 5-part story entitled The Philadelphia Flyers Have a Time Machine. As I think I've mentioned before, McSweeney's is also home to McSweeney's lists, which is among the funniest collection of things I've ever seen, if a little cheap. I feel like I should like McSweeney's more in general, but I haven't really given it a fair chance. I'm also lazy. Maybe one day...

Every so often I get re-obsessed with puzzles. This most recent time, in addition to coveting all things Robert Abbott, I've started looking at social and outdoor puzzles. Unfortunately, I've basically missed the outdoor maze season, but I have hopes for going to one or two of the good ones next year. And I really want to run a copy of Abbott's Bureaucrat Maze sometime. (Unfortunately, I'd need about 4 volunteers and at least 15 or 20 participants, all of whom have to like mazes and puzzles. Not an easy group to arrange.) But foremost here is my discovery of Bay Area Night Game. It's almost enough to make me move out west. I wish I could find something like that anywhere near here. Anyone?

Klein Bottles are still fun. Calibrated Klein Bottles are still silly. But only if you have that certain nerdy sense of humor.

Yeah, I've become a regular Daily Kos reader. Being sucked into the world of political blogs, that's me. But if I didn't read that, how else would I find people I agree with and who are so willing to remind me what I should be thinking?

That's about it for now, I suppose.

Wait, the Amazing Maize Maze is closed already? I could have sworn they open at least once around Halloween. And what are your plans for Sukkot? (You can email that)

The maize maze might still be open, but I'm awfully busy through the rest of the month.

For example, see http://www.livejournal.com/users/desh/114298.html for the beginning of my Sukkot plans. (Comment there about them; I'd prefer not to have my specific travel plans in a public entry.) For the rest of the holiday, other than chol hamoed Shabbat, I'm basically around and free.

Also, how do we have the same birthday and I didn't know this until now?

I used to own a Klein Bottle. I wonder what happened to it. I don't think i have seen it since graduation. Maybe it will turn up

Wow we do have the same birthday... I really don't know how that happened.

Wait... since when do you read the Daily Kos? Do you also read every weekday's Cheers & Jeers? Why are you copying me, asshole?

P.S. I'm still more political than you.

I read everything that hits the front page (usually reading back when I miss a couple days), but never anything not on the front page, rarely the comments, and sometimes I don't even bother with the "below the fold" part.

In other words, yes, you win. No worries.

As long as you don't also read Political Wire, Politics 1, The Hill, and occasionally Memeorandom. I wouldn't expect you to read Roll Call, since that's subscription only (I have an in because my company is subscribed). But, even so, you should at least give a more in depth look into Cheers & Jeers, if not for the humor. It's Rum & Coke Friday! It's going on in There's Moreville [Swoosh!!] RIGHTNOW! [Gong!!]
