Ana: Um, I think you guys came to the wrong place.

D: They watch a lot of TV.

Bob: No more CRT's!

Ana: Why don't you try playing Magic?

Vincent: Yeah, but that's still gaming. We are totally gamed out.

Ana: But there's no CRT's involved.

Bob: No more CRT's! No more CRT's!

D: Hmm. It's too late to go see a movie...

Vincent: Yeah, great. We can stare at really big screen for a while, instead of a smaller one.

Ana: We could always go drinkin!

Vincent: I did that last night. Come on now. There are millions of people in the world who don't game. What do they do in their spare time?

D: I told you. They watch TV.

Bob: No more CRT's!

Ana: Maybe they do athletic stuff. That seems pretty popular.

Vincent: Look at us, Ana.

Ana: Oh, right. Sorry.

Bob: No more CRT's.

Ana: No one's mentioned CRT's

Bob: I know. I just want to make it perfectly clear where I stand on this.

BT: (enters stage left) Hey guys. What's up?

D: We're trying to think of something to do that doesn't involve CRT's

Bob: No more CRT's.

BT: What's a CRT?

All: Cathode Ray Tube.

BT: How about Sheeepshead?

Ana, D and Vincent: NO.

Bob: No more CRT's.

BT: There aren't any CRT's in Sheepshead.

Ana: Yeah, but they're also not interested in gaming of any sort.

Bob: No more CRT's.

BT: Um...

Bob: No more CRT's.

D: That's pretty much all he's said since he got here.

Bob: No more CRT's.

We ended up just spending the whole night talking. We mostly discussed ways to make golf more interesting (Random mines. Multiple caddies, who would be sent out as mine detectors. Carrying an extra set of clubs around, to throw at potential mine locations when you run out of caddies. Tigers wandering around the course. Carrying around a third set of clubs, for defense against the tigers.)

This why I love these people. They have elevated being bored and talking about nothing for hours on end into an art form. And, we did it without the use of CRT's.
