That Mal. He got so caught up in winning.
That Lowell. I’m wondering if he didn’t throw the match when he saw that Mal was buying the one-sided bet.
… It’s not Lowell’s hundred, anyhow.

Paste isn’t the sort of person to make a goofy bet. He’s more the ‘tails I win, heads you lose’ kind of gambler. And what sort of maniac makes the lunatic bet himself when there’s a patsy around to send in for you?
Also, Mal thinks the big end of the stick is just for counterbalance. You have earned my admiration if you realized that’s what was going on.
Paste is such a sentimentalist. He sees his brother’s distress and seeks to lessen his burdens by taking them on himself.
Or something that looks like that, anyhow.
Hubris’ subconscious is pretty adept at conjuring up a Dad. Good Advice, Upbeat Manner, and a Heads-Up to be careful.
I guess when Dad’s not there in person, your subconscious has to work overtime… or overwork sometime. Like Naptime.
She acts so surprised sometimes. You’d think she’d know better… or at least know enough to see who Paste was sitting on before starting the conversation.
Douglas Adams wrote his character Zaphod Beeblebrox as someone who kept people wondering if he were clever and pretending to be stupid, or stupid and pretending to be clever. It was more elaborate than that, of course, but I’m not sure Paste is more elaborate than that.
Play it close to the vest, guys. Keep the other players in the game guessing.
Shuffleboard sounded so dull, even when you add ‘full-contact’ to it. Everyone put their attention into the five-legged race.
Ha ha. Now, the shuffleboard has their attention. This should keep them busy for a few minutes.
Look, they got Paste into a nice, calm setting so that they can all distract him with a little interview…
But.
You can take the boy out of the chaos, but ya can’t take the chaos out of the boy.
He oughtta get a shirt that says that on it.
Er’body remembers that Paste has a real name, too, right? ‘Carlaisle’ And before anyone wants to comment on the spelling of his name, remember that this is the woman who named her firstborn ‘Hubris’, so…
Poor Carl. Yeeeaaaaah.
I wonder if Carl got called that by a lotta people who knew Dorothy Draussen back then, or if something between then and now made her into the woman that Dorothy Foris is.
You guys have been wondering the same thing, I bet. Keeping you up at night and all?
Paste is one of those interviews you used to hear about… Tom Cruise on Oprah Winfrey’s show, Crispin Glover on David Letterman’s show, Anyone normal on Jerry Springer’s show, etc… He may not be asked back without some kind of apology, and a legal document with assurances that no weapons will be on his person.
