Overheard on NJTransit


Stealing a page from the Bastard, a snatch of dialogue from my commute:

"You know I'm a big computer geek, but for some reason I can't play Foosball."

Um... am I missing something?

For reasons I'm not sure of, Foosball is a game that can be found in many a computer programming shop. I don't know why because non-computer folks like it too but there it is.

Weird. Maybe some tech-savvy cultural anthropologist can shed some light on this.

Too, true. I've seen them any a few computer programmer-type sports as well. I think it is one of those games were you can blow off some steam while trying to make a deadline or whatnot by spinning those guys super fast.
