Ran across this and thought it was amusing. Consider yourself tagged.
1. Grab the nearest book.
2. Open the book to page 23.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the text of the next three sentences in your journal along with these instructions.
5. Don't dig for your favorite book, the cool book, or the intellectual one: pick the CLOSEST.
6. Tag five other people to do the same.
"To be effective a team must be clear on its roles (who does what?) and goals (what are they trying to accomplish?). Norms are the assumptions or expectations held by group members that govern the kinds of behaviors that are appropriate or inappropriate in the group. They are the ground rules which regulate the group's behavior."
(from The One Minute Manager Builds High Performing Teams by Ken Blanchard, Donald Carew, and Eunice Parisi-Carew)

The Montreal team was also an amalgamation rink made of Lyall at skip and Howard Stewart at second. They were chosen just two days before the Brier's start, and rush to Toronto to prepare. The idea of inviting teams from Montreal and Toronto may seem unusual when looking at today's Brier fields, but all of the entries were, in effect, more regional than provincial.
--The Brier by Bob Weeks (1995)
A dictionary was technically closer.
"We all slept four or five to a hut, though none but Nimue and Morgan were allowed into the hall's inner chambers. They were Merlin's own and Nimue alone was permitted to sleep there. Norwenna and her court lived in the hall itself, which was filled with smoe from the two fires that burned day and night."
