Part Three of an ongoing series about Spider Solitaire. They are really teasing this out, aren’t they.
When at the supermarket I am told by the cashier that my coupon for 20 cents off taco shells has expired, what do I do? Do I bluster and shake my fists and call for a manager? No, Hyperion, I do not. I calmly tuck that coupon back into my wallet and pay full retail price. I give up. And what do those tacos taste of, later, in my apartment? Shame.

Part 2 of Kevin Dolgin & Pasha Malla’s foray into the insane world of Spider Solitaire is up today: Your First Lay.
Spider Solitaire is no joke, y’all:
[R]emember this acronym: PRUNES. PRUNES stands for Patience, Recognition, Undo, Not giving up, Excellence, and Statistics. These are the five pillars of SpiSo glory, and they are to the serious player what the stars are to the seafaring sailor, or the literally interpreted Bible to the Christian zealot.
Awesome.
Part 1 was back here. Go.

Pasha has a joint thing with Kevin Dolgin in The Morning News today. It is basically an expose on how awesome at Spider Solitaire Pasha is. It doesn’t actually have many tips on how to get good at Spider Solitaire, though. Which I guess makes sense. Like Michael Jordan hasn’t opened up a basketball school, or whatever.

Pasha has a new piece in The Morning News today: Does He Love You? is an update on 2005’s Does She Love You? [emphasis added.]
Does She Love You? has been one of the more perennially popular posts on TMN, judging from the Google Alerts that tell me someone has discovered and linked to it basically every day since 2005. Time will tell if the newer masculine version joins it in the annals of awesomeness. (Probably it will.)

Pasha has an excellent piece in The Morning News today about the perils of holiday caroling.
Apparently he also has something about basketball in The The Morning News Annual, but details are still sketchy.
