There’s an unwritten rule that if you have big glasses, scraggly hair, and you need to introduce yourself to a trivia team full of libertarian bloggers, then you need a damn good icebreaker.

I had neither the glasses nor the intro line tonight. Kinda wish I had some sorta guide to guide me. Like a list that some half-clever editor would task to a bunch of not-as-clever interns:

5. “I read the most interesting story today on the E! Channel news scroll.” […]

25. “I’m not one to brag, but I live in one of the largest houseboats on Lake Minnetonka.” […]

33. “These look like lice, right? Apparently, they’re just chiggers.” […]

35. “I’m feeling a little crazy tonight. Anyone want to stage a Jonestown reenactment with me?” […]

57. “I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: ‘The more you Mace me, the harder I love.’” […]

84. “The Muppets are bullshit, and let me tell you why.” […]

96. “Everything Smurfy over here?”

Unfortunately, none of those beat being a male prostitute for the FBI.
