Forb, twip, armsaye, and one I forgot

Those were the words for the bluffing / dictionary / balderdash segments of the two episodes of Says You!, whose tapings Dingo Donut, JagGirl (aka RwT), Mighty Mel, Farmer Scott, Jimbo5, and I attended at MoHaI yesterday. It wound up being a pretty long day. Da boyz started with an early brekkies on the Ridge; we all assembled at the auditorium at about 10:30 am, and the taping of two half-hour shows took until after 1:30.

In addition to the bluffing game, there was stuff like which one doesn't fit (Tunnel - Gate - Triangle - Colorado) and make a three-anagram out of (Actor James opens curtains) and tell me what novel this is the last line of and what was the longest [shortest] title of a movie that won a best picture oscar and so on.

It was generally a fun time. We could tell the panelists were getting tired by the second show - which was the fourth they had done since the night before. There were no big technical glitches, and it was a pretty good crowd.

After the show, we went to Grateful Bread and sat in the cushy couches and had coffee and soup and stuff. Good times.

I got back to the Ridge a little before 4:00, just in time to catch my breath before Otis came home from class at 5:00 and we headed out to dinner for her father's birthday. All of Clan P was there; we had a great dinner at Gaspare's right here in the neighborhood, and then went down to Leilani Lanes to roll a few lines. Fun stuff, even if I lost the pocket and bowled a crappy second game. Otis rocked the alley the first game, but then her wrist hurt.

Needless to say, I got no work done yesterday. Otis is off to squeeze school again, so here's to a rainy, quiet, and productive day for me!
