quote n + m + r + q from the BHOT:

talking about a certain nameless girl:
pete: i don't get it, why do so many guys like her? is it like wanting to conquer unconquered territory or something?
eric: actually i think she's already been conquered a lot

please direct all further inquiries to eric huang.

another motherly vignette:

last may when my parents flew out here for my graduation, my mom couldn't stop playing foosball, she was addicted. it was like mom we're eating dinner; hold on, one more game...mom it's time for church; ok after i score...mom i'm graduating now; no, tell them to wait... (i might be exaggerating). anyways, it got to the point where she even started trash-talking me...i tried to be nice and ignore it, but she was relentless, and in the end i was goaded into destroying her...of course i felt immensely guilty afterwards.

the moral: i guess even my mom's susceptible to that bit of evil that girls pull on guys when they're competing, where if the guy's losing they make fun of him and call him unmanly names, and if he's winning, they cry injustice and call him a bully. evil.
