At Bridge, he performs as a rice shaman together with his nephew Robbie. On Sunday, November 2, 2008 at 5 pm there will be a Q&A session and Sake Toast in which he will announce whether praising and blaming the two pots of rice has had any effect on the food’s condition.
Update: According to Momus, “the Rice Experiment ended with faint but distinct signs of decay in the cursed rice; yellowing, hardening, a slightly bitter smell. The praised rice was in much better condition.”
