Academic success-forget it. That requires too much imagination. There's no scoreboard.

A wise man once said that all human activity is a form of play. And the highest form of play is the search for Truth, Beauty and Love. What more is needed?

Bonus: I now knew what Erin meant by lickable abs.
My fave routine is The Roller Coaster. First of all it's a great way to get into a card trick, without stating it's a card trick.
