I have invented a new game, called “Better than Teti.” Teti is our cat. To play, I ask the other player (Andy, let’s say) which he likes better, Teti or some other entity, such as “toothbrushes” for example. He says “toothbrushes,” then I ask about something else, say “Grand Rapids, MI,” and he likes GR better than Teti but not as well as toothbrushes, and gradually I make up a list of his preferences.
\nHere is the outcome of yesterday’s game, listed in order of most to least preferred:
\n1. Used bookstores
\n2. Ice cream
\n3. French horns
\n4. Corn on the cob
\n5. Walking on the beach
\n6. 24<\/i>
\n7. The moon
\n8. Office Depot
\n9. a Macintosh computer
\n10. Sand castles
\n11. Mountain Dew
\n12. San Diego
\n13. Eels
\n14. Lost<\/i>
\n15. “Better than Teti”
\n16. the drawbridge in Grand Haven
\n17. Burger King
\n18. the Grand River
\n19. Sand in your shoes
\n20. the CRC
\n21. Teti<\/b>
\n22. bananas
\n23. the Michigan left
\n24. $3.12 per gallon gas
\n25. Club Kordro (adjacent to the Best Western Park Plaza in Muskegon, MI)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
