Project PANDORA: Reprising the Prelude
I spent my whole day with The Most Dangerous Game, working on our Duo piece (explanation to follow before the upcoming weekend's big adventure), taking care of a variety of Econ Club business, and having a rollicking good time. Through the agency of a mutual acquaintance, Jenny, The Most Dangerous Game was introduced to The Secret Base; today, she had me take her on a guided tour. She sat at my desk, reading aloud all of last summer's posts concerning my pursuit of her from the very seat in which those posts had been composed. Her account was punctuated by periodic "Ohhh"s of sympathy as she read of how bitter a pill losing her had been. And I learned that had I not been so oft thwarted, she would have accepted my proposal of a date; it might not have lead anywhere, she was at the time the non-exclusive paramour of her current boyfriend, but she would have joined me for at least one evening, with an open mind. Utterly contrary to my thinking over the last half-year, she would have said yes. She—magnificent, magical she—would have gone out with your humble narrator. Holy smoke.

Don't fall victim to the Siren's song. Mind games! Steer clear and head for calmer seas!

I hope that "Holy smoke" is a jolt of confidence and a striking blow against the Dark Bastard.

Hello all, this is my first comment here - as you know. I thought I'd say hi. I am The Most Dangerous Game . I must say I love my name, its very fitting. Now, what our dear poster left out is an important fact. I have decided to, in his words "hijack" but in mine "help" project Pandora.

Be at peace, Steeze, The Guy's interpretation of "Holy smoke" is correct. The Most Dangerous Game is one of my dearest friends and, as mentioned above, has a boyfriend; I am not shifting my affections away from The Impossible Ingenue to her older sister. The point of the post is that before we became such dear friends, when The Most Dangerous Game was the hot blonde in my labor econ lecture & I was the funny fat guy in hers, she would have consented to my proposal of a date. All I'm doing here is putting a retroactive check in Project PANDORA's win column.

Welcome aboard, Jessica. I didn't "leave out" your forthcoming contributions to Project PANDORA, I was merely holding back that tidbit until I was prepared to discuss it in the necessary detail. But, yes, treasured readers, I now have—what? A partner? A confederate? A girl Friday?—bolstering PANDORA's prospects of success. More to follow.

So she's gonna help you win her younger sister? That is a good friend.
