 Dear diary! Things are going swimmingly today! I recently setup a brand new uber-technology-driven interwebs site, and the fans actually like it! Oh what a feather in my cap. Wait until I tell Uncle Falls-Down-the-Steep-Stairs-Because-He’s-Had-Too-Much-To-Drink! Oh how he will hop and rejoice in his own special-needs glee kind-of way! But wait a minute Diary! What is this I see in my inbox? Could it be…
…a giant pile of hate mail?? Hells yeah it is! WOOT! Let’s read em’! "I can't seem to register on your website anywhere! Please help me! Am I just blind and missing it?" Well, actually, yes. Keep hunting and pecking for that ever-elusive giant red Register button. Someday you’ll be among our ranks. NEXT! “…and that is why everyone thinks you suck. This nastygram does not do justice how much I think you suck! Expecially your mom. She knows you best, and I think she is right. Maybe if the questions were easier, people might like you.” True enough! But where would the fun in that be? Despite your clever use of an errant “x” in “especially”, I still think you are the coolest person on the block! Oh, poor little Timmy having difficulty in school? Well let’s just make the tests easier! Awww…..Betsy didn’t make the soccer team? We’ll just lower those standards then! You don’t need to kick the ball! Or here’s one, maybe Betsy should stay away from organized sports because she has the coordination of a bag of kittens with epilepsy! And maybe Timmy will do nicely ironing my one-and-only Pub Quiz dress shirt down at the cleaners each.....um.....week! Anyways, Diary, here is my plan for the next pub quiz: the last gap between possible points and actual highest-points-scored was 26. That’s actually about 5-7 points too high. So I will certainly be doing some tweaking. The problem is, I never know when the smart people are going to show up to a quiz. It’s been an incredibly long time since it happened, but much like the North American Cicadas, eventually, even the smartest bugs will still find the zapper!
