- I am the king of consistent mediocrity: ten gp day two appearances in a row, not a single quarterfinal played. I might stick to pre-releases and other single-day events for the future.
- Be careful when you’re running to the pairings board with a hot dog in your hand. You might end up at your table with a hot dog sans tasty sausage (a.k.a. dry bread).
- Frank Karsten and Stan van der Velden have shady ethics - I confronted them on their split with RvdM:
“Then, would you buy stock in weapons industry if you knew you’d make profit?”
“I guess I would.” - Seeing Florian Pils made me think about my last name. Everybody agreed with me that being called Jan Pils would have been considerably worse than Jan Doise.
- On one hand, Denmark has really high taxes on alcoholic beverages, but on the other hand, streets, metros and even Grand Prix are filled with drunks. This made me wonder:
- I am a big fan of high taxes on alcohol: as I’m reminiscing after a heavy night I can always conclude that I at least supported the state financially. Maybe the Danish really like to help the state and have a little fun at the same time? No wonder their social system works so well.
- Then again, I wasn’t a big fan of the drunk that greeted me in the hotel lobby at 8 a.m. with “Hello, I didn’t sleep all night, mind if I breathe in your general direction?”.
- There were pros and contras to the drunken girls in the metro. Sometimes funny, at other times annoying.
See y'all at Nationals.
