Dear Yugoslavian,

No, there's no way to get the money. Such is the life of the itinerant haikuist.

Dear bison,

What is your take on "Peachy Avatar Day?"

Thank you,
Tom

Dear jdl,

You probably feel attracted to this girl because she's attractive (personally and physically) and because your fiance is far away. It happens.

Assuming that you're actually happy with your fiance, then this'll probably remain a nice friendship where you get a little charge cause she's attractive, but if you find yourself thinking, before or after the wedding, that this other woman makes a nice Plan B, I'd suggest putting some distance between you socially and letting your brain cool off.

Dear Jeremy,

Williams college is an athletic powerhouse, the Stanford of Div3, and football is its most visible sport. Wesleyan, on the other hand, has 2900 students (undergrad and graduate), but calls itself a university and is regularly confused with Wellesley by anyone not deeply steeped in the farce of 'elite' colleges.

As for your second question: Williams was named for Ephraim Williams, a british soldier who left some money for a school as long as they named it and the town after him. An Eph is a Williams student, but there's no good reason for it.

Dear Dead,

It's fun. It may lead to nerve damage in your wrists that will make it more difficult for you to post sixty times a day. I say go for it!

Dear Rearden,

Good luck man. But I'll just echo other people's advice - play video games, rent season by season tv shows, go out for a walk, sit in the sun (unless it's skin cancer), eat well, and let us know how it goes.

Dear bagina,

Just remember, you can't baffle people with lines. Either she feels like hooking up with and/or seeing you again or she doesn't, so just tell her that you like her and see how it goes.

Do you mind if I give you a call sometime?
Hey, I'd like to see you again.
et cetera, and so forth.

And if you'd like to get going this evening with a girl, the follwoing is a tried and true conversation that will tell you whether she wants to go have some fun:

You, after the movie or dinner or whatever: "So, what do you feel like doing?"
Her: "Oh, I don't know. Whatever."
You: "Wanna chill at my place?"
Her: "Meh/Sure/Etc."

If she says "sure", this entitles you to more flirting. But please be respectful. Just because she's sitting on your bed doesn't mean she wants your penis in her ear.

Dear Tom,

It would be difficult for me to care less about Peachy Avatar Day.

Dear Madtown,

A) It is achievable, but the games you are talking about are very different from one another. 2/4 and 3/6 at party are very different, and they're both very different from 6-max games.

B) Playing hands, Reading and responding to hands, reading books, posting hands, analyzing PT. Please note that the reading and posting are waaaay ahead of PT.

C) Stop multitabling.

D) I haven't been reading the B&M forum. I will try to remember to take a look.
