Darmok, Inner Light was excellent, I agree.

Cool, you like Star Trek too then. I also like the music from the episode A Matter of Perspective, which was a thought-provoking space mystery episode.

How about Tuesday rules, since it's Thursday [well, almost Friday where I am].

Bet you thought you could fool me with that one, didn't you? Everybody knows the Interplanetary Fizzbin Federation prohibits playing by Tuesday rules on Thursdays and Fridays during even-numbered Earth years. I'm on to your trickery.

We could play with the Vulcan moon rules.
[I often want to play Calvinball with someone. Maybe I can get my dad to play.]

Is Calvinball a real game?

Speaking of real games, I've heard that the Farrengi economics game where you confront or acquire is based on a real game somewhere also.

^Well, it is and it isn't. The only rule is that you can't play it the same way twice, as you can see.

You never read the comic strip Calvin and Hobbes?

Unfortunately, I can't read comics. I'm blind, and comics are graphically based. Occasionally, I've read a script.

Um...I have partial vision? It's something like that. I don't use my right eye much at all, if ever, anyway. As a result, sometimes my head is tilted oddly.
