Bigger And Better
They say everyone has their heroes. As of this article, aged though it may be, i have a new one.
No Travelzoo Temptation this week to get you out of your rut. Today's assignment instead: Go thou and do like that. Now, get to it. I don't want to see you coming back with anything smaller than a medium-sized schnauzer, minimum.
We played this in college, in a two- or three-hour session, but the biggest thing anyone ever came back with was a couch. It was a nice couch, granted; and when you're a college freshman, and the couch is longer than your dorm room, this is a very impressive thing indeed. But there comes a time in any leisure pursuit when one is so roundly defeated that one has no other graceful option than to humbly acknowledge the towering presence of absolute and utter greatness.
That, and secretly sulk for a while out of sheer jealousy.
Just a bit.
