Paying the price

I came within 9,000 points of a high score on a Ms. Pac-Man machine, and all I have to show for my effort is a finger blister the size of a cigarette burn. In other words, pain but no gain. —Ken Miller, associate editor

Fighting Irish

Knocked back a few with a new Las Vegan fresh off the boat from Ireland. When it came to straight whiskey shots, she wiped the floor with me. The race to slurp down Mind Erasers with straws? I dominated. USA! USA! USA! —Erin Ryan, staff writer

Paid in pie

Out of cash while checking in with the Skycaps, I tipped the guy a $5-off card to Grimaldi’s instead. He looked pumped. Such is the power of good crust. —Sarah Feldberg, editor

Antlers of a dilemma

At what point in life do you no longer need another antler whistle? I’m guessing it’s when the lids on Tupperware boxes of museum gift shop purchases can no longer be snapped into place. —Kristen Peterson, staff writer

Cold shoulder

Y’all are lightweights. Back home in Michigan, we have a term for when the weather gets like this. We call it “summer.” —Rick Lax, staff writer
