  • What's a good condiment for hats?

    So, good news: the Stop Killing Games movement has had another
    victory. They are supporting a law in California that will, if passed,
    make it harder for publishers to unilaterally rip a game out of paying customer's hands. Not only has the state's legislature pushed forward
    a bill in support of that goal, but it's already passed a vote in the
    state assembly... and by a significant margin (43 yeas to 16 nays). If
    it sees as much success in the state senate, the bill would actually
    become law.*

    So if that's the good news, what's the bad news? Well, I admit I was
    pretty cynical about the passage of any such law and said I'd eat my
    hat it passed. And I really don't like the taste of hat.

    I think you'd want something strong, horseradish, or hot sauce.

    Considering California politicians anti-corporate and anti-rich-people
    stance, not surprising.

    Now if such a bill could pass in a Republican stronghold like Florida or
    Texas, that would be impressive.

    Well obviously you need to get a new hat made; a Garlic Bread Fedora
    perhaps or a Tortilla Sombrero?
    Maybe an ode to Prince with a Raspberry pancake beret?
