The Most Meaningless, Vacuous Competition on DU EVER!
OK, Windoze (l)uzers ... you who, like me, occasionally(?) veg out playing Hearts (like when DU is down and you don't have to take a bathroom break) ... here's a challenge. Win a game of "Microsoft Hearts" (easy enough), forcing ALL (computer) opponents over 100, and achieve the largest combined winning margin over those opponents.

This is a pointless, meaningless, vacuous, drain-bamaged waste of time and electricity.
So, it can't be all bad, right? :evilgrin:

I'll start. Here's a combined winning margin of 300 points:



118 - 16 = 102 ; 106 - 16 = 90 ; 124 - 16 = 108 ; 102 + 90 + 108 = 300

Next? :dunce: :silly:

1. I just bought Tahitian limes
At the health food store. They smelled so good and were really round and plump, the best I have ever seen. I am going to make lime-ade out of them.

I hate that. I pluck the hair from my nose sometimes and first I am astounded at how long it is, then I can't believe how thick and black the bloody thing is, I mean sometimes it's as thick as a friggin' steel cabled power line.

5. I honestly can't make heads or tails of that, I've never played hearts
but then, I don't have Windows, so I'm not a qualified participant anyway.
