Osler's Razor

Make your plans now-- tomorrow night is the annual Bates/Osler Foosball challenge at Cricket's. It's $5/game to take us on, with all proceeds going to Mission Waco. The festivities will begin at about 9.

For those of you who haven't figured it out yet, here is the deal: Bates is a master of the foos, while I pretty much stink (as I do at all sports involving a ball). I am involved only for my trash-talking abilities and the fact that the International Foos Association requires two players a side. Still, Bates is so awesome that we usually win a large majority of our matches.

We would especially like to welcome all the representatives of Illinois's law enforcement community who have chosen to join us at Cricket's each year. We do sincerely hope you all enjoy the show, and please remember that no matter who you are and what you do to live, thrive and survive there are still some things that make us all the same.

So, whoever you are, whatever you do, come foos with us.
