Jason Kottke's Layer 5 Commentary

The Wettening

As a special feature for today's match, I arranged to have a conversation with John Hodgman, a cohort of Sam Potts, about one of our competitors' volleys. Awesome, right?

Unfortunately, Mr. Hodgman is on a jet plane at this very moment -- with Jonathan Coulton and Charlie Tood no less -- and will be unable to join us. I just hope that plane doesn't crash...just think of all the future wonderfulness that will be lost to the world if it does. Fly safely, Mr. Pilot.

But back to the matter at hand. After Draplin's blistering ballroom joke, Potts wet his pants. Is he conceding the match halfway through? I hope not, but the crowd is smelling blood. (Smelling blood? Is that the right expression? To the Googlemobile! A: Yes! (More or less.))

Just for reference, here is what I am wearing for today's match:

Comfy and plenty of ballroom.
