Actual things you actually said (or heard) in the last 24 hours

“Nazi economics sneers at supply and demand curves.”

“I wonder how we communicate with them.” “Distantly.” “Carefully.”

“What could possibly go wrong?” “…do you want a list?”

“There’s clearly somewhere to go, because they went there. Unless they’re Rail Nazis.”

(Clarification on that last one: we have found a huge, quite possibly cyclopæan, rail system under Antarctica. We have observed holdover Nazis - it’s the early 1950s - using it. But we don’t know where their base inside the tunnels may be, assuming they have one.)

I am reminded of a one off Champions game I played, where we played characters with useless superpowers. I was Microwave Man, who could properly reheat anything in any microwave. This did not make a difference in the climactic boss battle….

This just reminded me of a tweet I saw once:

Professor X: what’s your super power?

Me: hindsight

Professor X: that’s not going to help us

Me: yes I see that now

“You know, I used to be very fond of watching cricket, but I can’t do it now. Quite a little magic will upset a match. Last year I went to see the Australians playing against Gloucester, and just because I felt a little sympathetic with Gloucestershire the Australian wickets went down like nine pins. If I hadn’t left before the end they’d have been beaten. And after that I couldn’t go to any of the test matches. After all, one wants the best side to win.”

I didn’t realise this was Dyer’s nickname, but it does make sense.

Indeed; sorry, this book (J. B. S. Haldane, My Friend Mr Leakey) was so much a part of my childhood that I forget other people don’t have it immediately to mind. For me it would be a candidate for a book to swear on.

I hope this isn’t related to our game on Tuesday.

That’s an awfully specific image.
