Mr Whiskers and Ms. Tabby had served in the Queen's Cats, and knew all about Mr. Brownmouse. They went to the relative security of the parlour, and spoke of the matter in dragon-language, which Mr. Brownmouse had never been able to master. ("Too many sparkles," he'd mutter, when he overheard snippets of it.) Then Mr. Whiskers headed downtown to Catland Yard, and Ms. Tabby and the dragon had a cheerful talk about the merits of bells on toys. They also discussed Mr. brownmouse's rodent mafia connections, which Ms. Tabby was surprised to find that the dragon knew all about. When Mr. Whiskers got home, they compared notes again, and then took a liesurely nap on a pillow in the parlour.

news game
Monday November 21 2005, @04:49PM
this is a variation on trmj's 'wish granted' game. It's inspired by gmhowell's JE heading.
It goes like this:
good news, you just got a promotion to full-time manager.
Bad news: you work in a 'waste management' facility.
Good news: Your ipod was under warantee when it took water damage.
Bad news: it took water damage while being swept out of sight forever by the current.
Get the idea?
It's been that kind of day.
Go for it.

The game goes as follows: someone posts a bit of good news (the way you did), someone else then posts the bad news as a reply, and a new piece of "good news". For example (and this is in response to your "good news"):
Bad News: It's your mother.
Good News: Your kid found a chest full of coins.

Bad News: No one will ever admit to having your disease because your doctor's bad handwriting has made your disease unpronounceable.

An old man turned ninety-eight

It's like rain on your wedding day
It's a free ride when you've already paid
It's the good advice that you just didn't take

I agree that casual conversations work better for finding out someones technical chops. Typically you want someone who knows the right questions to ask rather than someone who knows the right answers. Otherwise y
