Secondly, a quote. We were all nestled around the table engaged in a hearty game of Apples to Apples. Now, after what can only be described as an abysmal round of Battle of the Sexes, a fairly competitive bout of SceneIt (at least the second round was), a failed Boulderdash game and two go-rounds of Monopoly, it is somewhat needless to point out that the competitive fervor was at a fever pitch.
This was not to Daniel Almond's advantage. Or was it?
After several rounds of selectively matching nouns to adjectives Dan was not fairing too well. Those around him had all amassed a small collection of coveted green cards. Dan however, had one.
It is under these conditions that the following conversation occurred:
Kristin: OK, the adjective is Dramatic.
Group: (lays down the card they feel incapsulates the adjective)
Kristin: (after perusing all the candidates, which I cannot remember): I'm gonna go with Beauty and the Beast because it's pretty dramatic.
Group (grumbles incessantly and begins to make a case for why this is obviously the most poorly chosen noun/adjective relationship in the history of Apples to Apples; I feel that it was Cole who spearheaded the objections)
Dan (in a barbaric yawp, while standing from his chair): BEAUTY AND THE BEAST IS A TIMELESS CLASSIC! NOW GIVE ME THAT CARD.
Now go YouTube Ghost Riding.
