About a year ago, I was playing a word video game on facebook, which involved shooting electronic birds and then obtaining a letter.  It was like hangman, except you weren’t allowed to run out of bullets.  At one point, I decided that the game was too taxing on my fragile brain to attempt it by myself, so enlisted the help of the rest of the Blandfill.  At one point, there was a word that had me completely stumped; Tom assured me that it was in fact a word that is so ridiculous that I wiped it from my memory.  I said to Tom, “I will bet you a dollar that you are wrong.”  It turns out that he was right, and despite it just being a dollar, I felt obligated to make good on my bet, so he received the dollar.

Now, a year later, I received the dollar for being the first to perform a mildly creepy task for Charles (I won’t repeat it here or anywhere, in case you’re wondering.  And no, it was not sexual).  As the owner of the dollar, it was necessary for me to make another bet so that someone else could receive it.  This time, I offered the dollar to the first one of us who posted a new blog.  It’s been 3 days since anyone’s posted, so I’m going to think of a new bet.
