"She speaks poniards...and every word stabs."

Things I learned Saturday night from Dan and Erin, who are like the funniest people I've ever met.


  • When you are watching Much Ado About Nothing and Don John makes his first entrance, everybody who's even one little bit with it will say, "Woah."

  • If you hang out with a cadre of Erins (Aarons), they will band together and turn against you.

  • The definition of "bass face." (That face that white guys make when they play either bass guitar or double bass. It involves weirdly pursed lips and mostly closed eyes.)

  • It's okay to reference your blog in the real world. But not too often.

  • I am not smooth.

  • If you suspect your date (or the keyboardist of the band you're watching) is a Muppet, here are some simple questions to ask yourself: Is one arm tacked to his stomach, or are his elbows supported by sticks? Does she appear to eat, but actually allow food to fall to the floor? Does he have a ridiculously huge mouth with no teeth? Is there a hand up her butt?

  • Some foods are anathema even if they're free, including cheez curlz and those weird Oreos with chocolate filling.

  • Making fun of M2 is a good ice breaker.

  • Putting a large number of Rice alums in one place means everybody's going to have at least one awkward moment before the event is done.

  • As I suspected, it is weird when girls wear a skirt over pants. Or a dress over a skirt, like that chick with the super-shiny hair we saw at Brasil.

  • Some people are so cool that you can't possibly be shy around them.
