They have been going at it for hours now. Sadly, someone won the license plate election, so they have moved onto a new game: a game that from this day forward will cause my heart to pump lead rather than blood.

The movie game.

The movie game is simple: think of a movie that starts with the last letter of the movie someone has just named.

"The Truman Show," says Kevin.

"Waterworld," Mel shoots back.

"Dead Men Can�t Dance," says Kevin.

"Um�Erin Brockovich," says Mel.

"Hellraiser."

"Rocky."

"Yentl."

"Legend."

"Double Impact."

"That Thing You Do."

"Outbreak."

And so on, ad infinitum, hour after hour. How could two people know so many goddamn movies? It is now just after sunset, and I know they were playing before sunrise. I petitioned for as many "bathroom" breaks as I could�but they wouldn�t stop often enough for me to maintain a really good high.

I don�t know how much more of this I can take.
