Manuel proposes:
In the best Dodo spirit, both Carroll and Brown should advance. But who is to decide the advances? Why, you, of course. Advances! Advances!
But as Ethan points out, only one person can advance.
Raghu proposes to break the tie:
My wife points out that it has to be Carroll, because we don’t need any help falling asleep at seminars.
But, as anyone who’s actually read a bedtime book knows, these don’t really work! You sometimes need to go through book after book after book to reach the absorbing state of Zzzzzz. So the Bunny it is.
Today’s matchup
The second-seeded Cool person vs. an unseeded Duplicate name. James Dean could give a solid biostat talk elucidating the theory of competing risks: is smoking hazardous to your health if you’re also planning to drive dangerously? Or, conversely, is dangerous driving less risky on net, given that smoking has lowered your expected lifespan? Time to crunch the numbers. On the other hand, Lisa’s a local NYC artist so she might actually show up, and she’s got a beat.
Once on a rainy vacation in Bermuda, the hotel, trying deperately to think of things to give their guests to do, came up with a napkin folding class. I took it and realized that I really don’t know enough about folding. I once had an arigami book as an 8 year old but it was too complicated for me. Lisa Lisa was an expert on folding sweaters at Benetton. I could stand to learn some more.
I disagree with your assessment of bedtime books. Maybe Matthew Walker should adjudicate?
Anyway, in preparation I checked out “Rebel Without a Cause” from the library yesterday and haven’t watched it yet. Make of that what you will.
Anyone fronting a band named Cult Jam is worthy of hearing from!! She even had a role in the iconic NYC crime show, Law & Order (the orignal one and not one of the derivatives though I find the L&O: Criminal Intent was the best of all of them. Vincent D’Onofrio’s intense Bobby Goren was magnificent).
