Datenight MPLS

Well, let's check the scorecard, done to Trivial Pursuit.

(all of these have been scientifically weighted, obviously--0-6 scale).

Blue Pie: Geography

showed up late (actually both of them did) +2,

lives in/appreciates Minneapolis -3,

did due diligence research on h. through various social mediums +1,

goaded h.  into, and probably considered his take on MPLS to be the low

point of the conversation +-even,

lived abroad +3,

Pink Pie: Entertainment

drinks well +3,

appreciates drinking like a fish +3,

is probably not a smoker -1,

probably doesn't appreciate smokers -4,

likes wine +4,

Pinot Noir is her favorite +-even,

appreciates bar food +3,

only drank Bell's Two-Hearted +-even,

honestly announced Stella Artois as her favorite beer, and

though-available-didn't-drink-it-to-assure-knowledge-of-other-beers

-1,

Brown Pie: Literature

is a an avid reader +6,

likes and can quote The Book Thief +5,

is part of club that reads 50 books; sees 50 movies a year +5,

was outdoors so much she couldn't complete the task during the summer -5

made up for it in the winter, competitive nature compulsory compelled

her to read 17 books +4

doesn't seem that much into music -5,

Orange Pie: Sports

ability to speak on general sports knowledge +5,

active in the outdoors -3,

a golfer -5,

more than cursory knowledge of sports +4,

a fan of Detroit teams +-even,

Yellow Pie: History

conversation felt well metered +3,

she didn't feel the need to make fun of her friends for humorous gains

-4,

brought up an ex -4,

is smarter than h. +2

has an accent thing (tough, was cute the way it seamlessly worked into the

conversation but could get old) +-even,

looked better than remembered +4,

Green Pie: Science and Nature (the bitch category)

moments of comfortable silence +1,

would enjoy talking to her again +3,

introductability to friends +3,

h.'s confidence in the ongoing interview to invite her to the Firkin not

once but twice +3,

her not immediately agreeing to go to the Firkin +-even,

no indication of a follow-up engagement -1,

has an 'M' name... fuck

the conversation was good enough I didn't feel like telling a lie for my

own amusement +6.

Greggy, if you'd be kind enough to work your excel black magic it would

be appreciated.

In summary: M and h. seem to be a good match so long as

Persephone is in the house of Hades. Should they have met during the

autumnal equinox rather than when time sprang forward they could exhibit a

"real shot", though they would most likely become bitter when the weather

turned warmer. As it stands, M is advised to counsel her superior

intellect in a "wait and see" method, leaning toward when her friends

arrive at the Firkin Fest and their impressions against her outstanding

plans--none are better than any. Though his ability to be a noble drunk is

admirable to M, h. is advised to cut down on his rhetoric

towards the Other City, and for fucks sake: smoking? Who the fuck smokes

anymore?

**UPDATE** From Greg:

Attached is my excel black magic. Please review and respond with any changes that should be made. It should be noted that all scores were positive.
