Hey Fringey, did you go? I used to live right there (before it was a crappy different place that nobody went to) and I thought it was ok, but nowhere near deserving of the crowds it got. I'm curious what you thought of it?

I'd go to the Farmer's Market for crepes (or Loteria) over Toast any day.

Or Doughboy's right across the street.

Espresso and Frangelica. Yum.

I feel like a sissy just for writing that.

For you it actually seems right.

Minding my own business, when out of nowhere Heartbreaker by The Bee Gees planted itself in my head. So I wanted to share. Giver I am.

Why do you have to be a heartbreaker
Is it a lesson that I never knew
Gotta get out of the spell that I'm under
My love for you
Why do you have to be a heartbreaker
When I was bein' what you want me to be
Suddenly ev'rything I ever wanted has passed me by

I heard "Jive Talking" on the way home. Maybe something was lost in the translation of our psychic connection.

No. I did not go out to breakfast at all this weekend. That is no doubt related to the fact that I didn't make it out of bed until after 1:30 pm either day.

There's even more money to be had if I am willing to move to DC or Chicago.

I can't play soccer any more, but if you move to Chicago I'll be happy to swing by your office every week and grab your boob.

I thought you were shaving the ass forest these days?

I never took a math course that covered probability. Or, if I did, I was doing something more fun that day.

I was watching Numbers on Tivo the other day and the little professor guy explained a concept in probability using the following example:

Say there are three doors. Behind two doors there is a goat. Behind one door is a new car. What is the probability that you pick the door that has the car? You have a one-in-three chance.

Okay, so you pick the second door. The third door is opened, revealing a goat. Now you have a one in two chance of finding the car.

Here's where it gets tricky. Will your chances of finding the car increase if you change your choice from door two to door one?

I, and all the other dumbass students in his classroom on his show said that it wouldn't. He said we were all mistaken, of course. If you change your choice, apparently you double (or increase, but I think he said "double") the probability that you will find the car.

It doesn't make sense to me because I think the decision to not change doors is as much a choice as deciding to change doors at this point. And I can't get past the fact that no matter which door you choose, when it comes down to two doors, you would have a 50/50 chance of picking the right door.

Someone explain this to me.

I am 100% sure that someone's beating me to the punch here, but if (as in the "Lets Make A Deal" situation) you have an omniscient Monte Hall-type person choosing to knowingly reveal a goat behind the opened door, which such person will do every time, then if you look at it on an ex-ante basis, by switching your choice, you're increasing your odds from 1/3 (the set of doors your originally chose) to 2/3 (the set of doors you did not originally choose).

Some people find it easier to grasp if you expand the problem to 100 doors, and let's say you choose door #1. And Monte Hall chooses to reveal that every door except door #74 has a goat behind it. Do you want to stick with your original (1-in-100) chance, or do you want to switch? By switching, you "buy" the set of all other 99 doors. It's the same logic in the three-door game.

I'm sure if TM was the judge you would get extra credit for that. I've heard he's trying to get on the judging panel for Miss Blow Job 2005. Something to keep in mind.

No, you got it wrong. He's competing in the regional qualifying event this year.

but there aren't really mean socks anymore. the only socks that try and be mean are the butt ski tribute socks and they're not mean, just inane. It's like if GGG starting phoning it in.

But how did you get him to stop pumping your head back and forth with his hands?
