ewest, flipper is not doing as well as I had hoped. He's not conducting himself as I had thought he would; turns out he has a devilish streak in him and it's costing me.
So far, I've lost three HSB who were competing against flipper in a "how long can you hold your breath out of water?" challenge. I know it sounds silly, but I would have lost more HSB if I hadn't showed up when I did and threw the other ten back into the water. Flipper just gave me a sh#t eating grin, let out some kind of squeaky laughter and proceeded to tail splash me as he swam away.
On another note, I believe Theo has enough internalization capacity to hold him over until the March '07 meeting. It's important for us to "fill him up" with angst until then.
