Gerrymandering Won't Fit In Scrabble

Qis, 12 Points

What is the point of getting your employer-for-the-week to fill out an evaluation of you, and the hand it straight back? They most certainly will not be honest…

I have also invented a new game. It’s called Talbotingo. For the less English-inclined, it’s a mixture of “Talbot” and “Bingo”. The game is simple. Spend some time on Talbot Street and the surrounding area. Give yourself a point whenever you see any of the following events:

  • Someone urinating on the street
  • Someone openly smoking cannabis
  • Someone of indeterminate gender
  • Norwegian backpackers
  • A child under the age of seven carrying a knife

A picture of any such activity results in an instant win. Unfortunately for me, I have spotted all of those things in the past week, working for the Irish Independent on Talbot Street.

I have contacted the Olympic Committee and am positive that Talbotingo will be incorporated into the Olympics by 2020.
