    Conversations, at cocktail parties or otherwise, can be the impetus for great works like "Of Mice and Men". The only example I can think of right now is from the bio-pic "A Beautiful Mind". John Forbes Nash is inspired to create his theory of "Governing Dynamics" while he and his buddies consider picking up some women at a bar. Not sure if it really happened but you get the idea.

  • I wish I'd had the forethought to put a table cloth on that card table. Something unseemly about seeing the legs of a seated presenter. Not that your legs aren't lovely and well-clothed, Jesse.
