Most elderly Goombas I’ve met look back on their time in the Bowser Youth with shame, certainly, but also with disquieting melancholy, not entirely unlike the recall of a lost love
Flight attendant comes over intercom: “your flight is oversold, I need two volunteers to take a flight this afternoon for a $300 voucher.”
I spring into action. I was born for these moments. This is why I studied game theory. Literal tingles. I pull out my megaphone and address our boarding gate: “guys, they absolutely must off board at least two passengers or this bird isn’t taking off. Every 3 minutes they will increase their bid by $200. If we all hold out for 45 more minutes, 2 of us can make nearly 5 grand each. Textbook prisoners dilemma, this is (3,3) in its most visceral representation. I’m not even going to give up my ticket but I know value when I see value. Let’s make Nash proud ladies and gentlemen. Do not acquiesce. Do not defect.”
Anyhow 2 people immediately accepted $500 and I called them retards on my megaphone and was placed in a detention room by airport police. This is why we study game theory.
@EthanFromOnline Two games isn't enough, but if Perri's out a while longer _and_ Darlow keeps performing, he'll become harder to shift. One duff job though and they'll have Perri back as soon as he's fit - and Bournemouth and Spurs will be way tougher than Wolves.
@MOTweets1919 If we stay up it will be quite a lot of A and one of B:
A: loads of stinking clubs this season hovering around 17th
B1: a horrendous grind of 0-0 <1xg borefests with the odd 1-0 against bottom halfers
B2: DCL goes lockdown Bamford and we scrape minimum goals that way
@MOTweets1919 Got to be some payment surely, can't see any player giving up a year's PL salary for nothing with a whole post-playing future ahead of them
Starmer: Well look [doing his weird little half-laugh], obviously Tom and I don't agree on everything, but he speaks his mind and, as we saw on Strictly recently, he speaks to the country too. That's why I'm proud to welcome Tom into government as our new Small Boats Czar
