Ya follow?

Your strip? – Yes.

Her instructions? No.

Does she expect Pete to hover over Elliot every minute of the day? Would she if she was in his place? (Don’t answer that. I know someone like that.)

Let her install some elves on the shelves, drones in the dorms or whatever if she’s so helicopter-fixated.

It seamed pretty simple to me.

HUH???

I would have been lost after “OK!”

Sounds like the rules to Captain Kirk’s game of Fizzbin…

The game can be played with a standard Earth deck of cards, despite the slightly differing deck on Beta Antares IV.

Each player gets six cards, except for the player on the dealer’s right, who gets seven.

The second card is turned up, except on Tuesdays.

Two jacks are a “half-fizzbin.”

If you have a half-fizzbin:

a third jack is a “sralk” and results in disqualification;

one wants a king and a deuce, except at night, when one wants a queen and a four;

if a king had been dealt, the player would get another card, except when it is dark, in which case he would have to forfeit that card.

The top hand is a “royal fizzbin,” but the odds against getting one are said to be “astronomical.” Right Spock,

“I’ve never computed them.”

Got it…. snacks 2 hours. Dinner’s at 4:30.

This would be a good time to have selective hearing.
