In any event, I'm feeling literary and want to get the night started off right. I just walk up, find the door slightly ajar as a Signet member exits and make my entrance. The majority of people gather in the salon, a large room towards the back of the house. White wine flows freely into glasses (no plastic cups are to be found).

We secure the latter firmly to the couch; the former vouchsafes to deliver a stream of car chases and oh-no-they-locked-themselves-in-the-walk-in-freezer episodes. This arrangement has seen us through the cold war, presidential scandals, even the final season of Roseanne. But this week a new interactive music-trivia show on MTV aims to upset that tradition by introducing a third party: the keyboard...
