    I've seen this in real life at least once.

    They must not have been playing with escalating bonuses for card matches. That right there limits the game to 2 hours tops.

    One of the worst (and least considerate) drivers I've seen in my life is a mother of 5(maybe more?) that drops/picks up her kids at my kids' school: She parks in the middle of two lanes, opens the doors wide, stops again (and leaves the car) to chat with other moms, starts moving without checking traffic, and she has almost hit me twice, at least. On her defense, if sometimes you can lose your mind dealing with two, I imagine that she is borderline insane at this point.

    Oh, and she has the family sticks decals on her van...

    Once Trump and his fundamentalist allies complete the takeover you will see more of this.

    We used to play a game called "Smear the Queer" with a football and whoever had it, got tackled by everyone else - inspired probably by Barry Switzer's late70's wishbone offense.

    They probably don't play that anymore

    We played that.

    Pretty sure the parents of any Queer Smearers would get visits from social workers if kids tried it today.

    Played it too. Of course today the game needs to be renamed to be PC.

    You could probably get away with it if you involve "ownin' the Libs" in the name

    I asked my son, he said they still play Smear the Queer. I told him BS says that isn't PC, he said they are still going to call the game smear the queer.


    I tried.

    1) Did you adopt? Because no one would fuck you.

    2) No you didn't.

    3) No one said you should do that

    We played it, with a football or a small playground ball if no football was available.

    Sorry to be late to the party, but I was busy doing that wedding thing over the weekend. Pandemic is amazing. Hubs and I play board games almost every night, and Pandemic comes in second only to Aeon's End for us. We almost always have to play something co-op, though. I, uh, don't handle it well if hubs wins.

    Three years ago, we also got together a bunch of my former high school/college friends and some of his grad school friends and formed an indoor, co-ed soccer team that is still going strong. We also both play on separate teams various nights of the week, and several of the teammates from our Sunday team have ended up joining other teams as well.

    Also, I own not one but two bowling balls. Got a $500 scholarship in college to be on the bowling team. :cool:

    I think the main lesson you should take from this completely off-topic post is that phedre44 is competitive. Like, obnoxiously so.

    Two questions -

    1) If you are losing at Monopoly, do you knock the board over so that everything is scattered, and say "Oops I guess the game is over"?

    2) Do you routinely cheat at golf?

    Michael Jordan did the first, Trump does the second. I figure if you're going to be competitive, see how you stack up against the best.

    Why? Do mushrooms fit in the bowling ball holes?

    We called it "kill the guy with the ball" Also whenever they would pile up the woodchips on the playground it was King of the Hill. I remember that being more brutal than kill the guy. The strongest kid, a large Norwegian who outweighed everyone by 20 lbs, would fling kids all over. Thr lunch ladies kept right on chatting.

    And no, it's not allowed in my local elementaries.

    We played this game also but we called it Murderball. Less frequently it was referred to as Smear the Queer.
