TG and I went to see Peter & James last night at the Big Top, Scrabble in tow. Peter & James are half of the Light Rock Express and sometimes referred to as the Light Rock Light.
When the first three letters TG pulled were L R E, I knew it was a bad sign. When the first word she played was B R A I L L E (with one blank for an L) it was confirmation. I was about to get smoked. And with 5+ vowels in my tray the whole game, I never got close.
Final 334 – 190.
The other two LRE members happened to be in the audience last night – entertaining the ladies – so they each sat in on a song or two.
Tonight: Astros. With 10 losses in a row, the Gambler’s Law of Averages tells me they’re gonna win.
Is it wrong for me to wear my Sox hat?
You should not wear a sock as a hat unless your name is Dobby.
Just don’t wear the FOX hat.
Joke: Prime Minister Chretien is appearing at a press conference in Sudbury related to animal rights. He insists on wearing his FOX hat. None of his advisors can convince him not to commit this major faux pax.
When pressed, he finally admits that his wife told him to wear it. Apparently when he told her he was going to Sudbury she said:
“Where the FOX hat!”

(If you don’t know Chretien’s style of talking, you may not get this joke. “Where the FOX hat” is “Where the fuck’s that” if you’re sufficiently francophone.)
