Doo doo doo doo.


When are you thinking of starting, love? I'm thinking about taking a couple games off but if this starts after Thursday or so I may just have to join. Seriously, how often does a concept like this pop up?

Monday. If I hold off longer I'll be fettered by travel, term papers, and holidays. I'd very much like you to play, though.

Hmmmm. I'll think about it. Several papers on deck and a scene to direct, so I'll let you know hopefully sometime tomorrow.

I'm in.

Hmm...I think that could be a way to do it. I don't know how else...it becomes a bit difficult when everything must be written out.

Can the topic be about anything? A teacher once told my class about how someone simply read out of a phone book for hours...

Hmmmm. I'm almost tempted to say that happened in Nebraska. Because I know a certain man who would do something like that.



Alternatively, that happens in "Mr. Smith Goes to Washington" if I'm not mistaken.

Strom Thurmond read out of a dictionary.

I'm torn on this.

Filibustering seems like a hilarious idea that would be true to the spirit of this village, but all it would take would be one occurance- some devious manipulative jerk (aka Phantom) would come along and actually do it for a solid two hours before the deadline and negate people's votes, and then everyone would be ticked off and wish we had never adopted the filibuster rule.

Because I know a certain man who would do something like that.

Good old Ernie.
