Back Story - It was game one of the 2008 NBA finals and the three of us felt it would be a nice idea to head out to a few of the local watering holes to enjoy the game in a more boisterous environment. Our first stop was the Singapore, specifically the bar, and the crowd was... slightly less than what we had expected.

In about as long as it took to finish our Mai Tai's (which, due to the circumstances was roughly 13 seconds) we were first hand witnesses to the phenomenon known as the Mr. Potato Head Effect.

In the bar (which we should probably point out is located in Fitchburg, MA) there were at any given point 10-15 girls scattered amongst there own individual groups and not only were none of these girls even remotley attractive - they were devoid of any single redeemable quality.

My conclusion you ask?

If it is theoretically impossible to assemble an attractive girl using the parts provided to you by the rest of the females in the room - like a Mr. Potato Head doll - then you have managed to sit yourself square in the middle of the phenomenon known as the Mr. Potato Head effect.

Rule # 49 - If you manage to find yourself in this particular scenario - either find the nearest exit or begin drinking aggressively enough to talk one of your buddies into scoring a number.
