Green Marker  Coffeepot, planners, evasion chart of Haiti/Dominican Republic (recently declassified)  This is a sorta-kinda guest entry.  Zach told a story in the AW Discussion news group, and since his journal is down right now for redesign, I asked if I may reprint it here, and he agreed.      Back in high school I recall there was this guy. Can't remember his name. But we were all at a party and this guy was constantly annoying the sister of the guy who was throwing the party. All night he was making passes at her and getting more and more drunk and he was just a real annoying person.      So when he got real drunk and it got real late and it was obvious he wasn't going to go home, me and the host, his sister and a couple other people came up with this really neat game. We called it 'the green shit' game. It was priceless.      We had this green marker see. And we told this guy that the object of the game was to get the most green shit on themselves. This guy was so blotto by now and we really played it up. We each took the green marker, and wrote on his body somewhere (he had lost his shirt earlier in the evening for some reason). The host's sister went last and she put green shit all over him! It was hilarious.      When it was all over. I remember the guy just on this side of oblivion. He was practically passed out in the middle of the floor. He'd been laughing the whole time. He thought he was the winner of the game. In fact he was. He had the most green shit on him of all of us.      He looked me in the eye and he said, "I won? Does this mean you guys will like me now?" Then the laughter stopped. Because it just wasn't funny anymore. And I felt like a pale blue dot in the universe.    -- Spring  link o' the day: Ask Satan
