Yeeeaaaaahhhh Alex. (Courtesy the Associated Press and Charleston Daily Mail) By Kara Stoever Winter break has turned me into an old person in one way in particular: I now watch Jeopardy every day. Alex Trebek is my new BFFAEAEAE. (If anyone wants to watch back at Swat...) Anyway -- last night, there was a category called Camelot. There was also a category in the second round called JFK's Camelot (which totally went over my head but now I know is a reference to his presidency as a "brief, shining moment"! Who. Knew.) Anyway^2, Ye Olde Mythical Brain went to sleep and dreamed a dream (in time gone byyyyyyy) about a mythical ultimate tournament!!!!111!!1 We were invited because the Warmother is a valiant, mythical, Camelot-like, etc. mascot. We weren't at the tournament yet, though, I was just looking at the tournament brochure. It was beautiful. There were a bunch of other good teams (all mythically themed), but I only remember one: the Unicorns, from the group Anonymous. I wondered in Ye Olde Dream World how we'd do against a bunch of politically active computer hackers ... and then moved on because I had to go walk down a street, be confronted by a canvasser, agree to give 50 cents (apparently dream me is stingy!) but then change my mind and give $4 but forget my debit card number blahblahblah. End of dream. (For the sake of dream accuracy, I have to say that I don't quite remember if they were the Unicorns for sure. I've also been watching Blue Planet/Planet Earth/Wild Russia excessively, so I feel like they might have been the Narwhals. I forget.) Moral of the dream: instead of going to Centex, let's organize a Tournament of Mythical Creatures! I'll get Anonymous to come.
