Outreach in sewers! / Teunis / Toilet paper / Sabermetrics

High-scoring words of the night:

SEWAGE (176 points) - against Pamela C. [two 4W]
OUTREACH (364 points; two 3W), CERTAIN (176 points; two 4W) - against John G.
COAGENTS (1740 points) - against Andrew R. [two 2W, two 5W, 2L on C]
ISLING (104 points) - against Maureen W. [4W used twice, 2W, hook off VOW for a plural]


Kelsey Paige Hopkins tried adding me to Facebook. I have no idea who she is, so that friend request will get summarily REJECTED! It appears that Teunis will take me up on my offer to stay at my place starting next week-ish while he gets his stuff together - good! To use my sister's words of yesterday when she was talking to Dawn about looking for a roommate, it does get lonely sometimes when you come home to an empty place, to say nothing of cooking for one! (like eating two bunches of spinach for a week straight because you got them for 88 cents at the Chinese grocery store...)

I've also had it up to here with cheap-ass toilet paper like the stuff I got from Zellers a while ago!

[23:20:23] Corey: go play Super Mario Bros. Crossover, it's awesome
[23:21:20] Corey: it's Super Mario Bros., but you can play as Link, Megaman, Simon Belmont (from Castlevania), Bill (army dude from Contra, complete with spread gun) and Ryu Hayabusa, the ninja from Ninja Gaiden, and Samus, from Metroid
[23:21:49] Corey: all those characters work the same as in their native games, and Mario is exactly the same as usual, and somehow it all works
[23:21:54] Corey: play now! :P
[23:24:28] Flami: oh, I heard about that from Facebook - I think one of my friends shared the video, but I wasn't able to share it for some reason
[23:25:40] Corey: well, go play it :P it's cool. I read about it earlier, but didn't care that much... since it just sounded like some dumb ROM hack that just changes the graphics or something, but it's a fully functional new game
[23:27:12] Corey: whatever character you pick, it's Mario, but with the gameplay of the other game

He also reminded me about fans, airflow, dust, and other things!

Trivia fact for Monday, June 28: In the world of sports, what is sabermetrics? It's the statistical analysis of baseball data. The word is an acronym of sorts for the Society for American Baseball Research, the organization behind the numbers crunching.
