Someone suggests getting a bag at CVS. Max says no. Kai: "Are you really too cheap to buy a seven cent bag?" Me: "Maybe he just wants to save the environment." Max: "Of course I care about our planet, I'm a committed globalist."

Kai: "When naming the group chat, does the '+' in B+ go before or after the 'B'?"

Max: "After - how the hell do you not know this?"

That I hassled you --- is true.
What I believe or don't believe, or have in the past, is not yours to contest.
I willingly admit my lack of faith is often disturbing.

After reading a spurious post in the SoCal Quizbowl Facebook group, we pulled over on the side of the highway to watch a promised Columbia Quizbowl hype video featuring Ben Zhang. Sadly, the video was only a link to Usher's hit single "Yeah."
