Play-By-Play Commentary

Dual Duels

First, a few corrections / clarifications:

• Glass obtained our damsel in distress from the home page of coudal.com, where it serves as an advertisement for something called the Museum of Online Museums. I have never heard of this "coudal.com", but it looks like an interesting, albeit juvenile, web site.

• Inman's "Jell-O Shots?" question posed back in volley 5 was a pun. Shots = getting shot at. I'm trying to figure out a way to blame Rosecrans (or, as I call him, "Rosencrans") for my missing this bit of cleverness, and I will report back when I do.

• The upside-down word in #3 is "Flight", not "Fight", and so yes, I missed the whole "Fight or Flight" angle. We regret the error.

Now, back to the match in progress:

We're now luxuriating in cross-pollination between today's dual duels. Koxvold's volley #6 yonder was as much a play in our match here as it was there, and the same could be said for this play from Glass. References galore to previous volleys from both matches: Note the glass in the T-Rex's hand. (Question: How does he drink with those arms?) Note the shards in the shattered chart from volley #2 in the other match. Strong, clever, play.
