It’s getting to be less “luck” and more “frightening skill”

Maria won Illuminati again. Sean and I (we were playing teams) were one card away from victory, playing as the Bermuda Triangle and with the Orbital Mind Control Lasers already in our grasp, and we rolled an 11 and she won. I hate the stupid Discordians.

It was still pretty much the best power structure, and the fastest, I’ve ever built. We probably committed the classic error of looking too dangerous early on. Also, Maria wants me to tell you that her brother Michael was her partner, but we all know it was her heathen luck that carried the day.

Well, I mean, you don’t have to call me Mister Batch Files.

I was going to write a short story one of these days called “What Ever Happened to Frances Bean?” I guess I still could, but MSN tells me she’s bumming around with Courtney (custody loss notwithstanding).

“‘Sometimes, mommies need to get laid, too,’ explains the embattled entertainer, uttering a phrase that sounds like the title of the most inappropriate kids’ book ever. ‘But mommy,’ replies Frances, ostensibly unprompted, ‘you intimidate men!’ Uh-huh. Anyway, Love is due in court this week to answer to drug and disorderly-conduct charges.”
