When we were children, my brother and I play-fought quite a bit, usually with toy guys or, better yet, toy lightsabers. It was all good fun until someone got whacked in the hand inadvertently and the beat-downs began. There was a secret phase the accidental aggressor could say to help stem the tide of these retaliatory beat-downs, and I will tell it again now:
SORRY SORRY SORRY SORRY SORRY SORRY SORRY SORRY!
That being said, we love Debbie Millman over here, and would like to congratulate her on 100 great episodes of Design Matters. You're the best Debbie. Hugs.

But you know you'd still totally hit that.
Wait, I thought the Voss Boys used to play a game called "Buds", where you went on pretend commando missions and the only rule was you had to call each other "Bud"? You described it with great vigor one night at the Icehouse; I remember it like it was yesterday.
Great stuff as usual, Bud.
I love you, Nate. You are amazing. Thanks for being such a great guest host and friend!
