You fucking guys also say "in bed" at the end of every fucking fortune you pull out of a cookie, don't you?

I was going to mention how I play a game called “Things” (or maybe it’s called “A game of Things”)  with some friends where you have a topic (i.e. “Things you don’t play with”) and it usually turns into a game of “who can come up with the dirtiest/sickest/funniest/most secksually related thing to write down” but I won’t now.

I don't get this SheckyInsult at all.

Speaking of SCABBLE, how do you guys handle deciding if a word is real? Do they get to look it up before the put it down? If the put it down and it's wrong, then what? In the world of freedictionary.com, you can find the most obscure words that even Wheezer doesn't know.

I play on the phone so it tells me. You could easily find a scrabble dictionary either in a book store or online.

Problem solved.

Also, I once spelled "vagina" in a game. It was my crowning achievement.

How is "fart" not a word?  Fucking Victorian snobs over at Hasbro.

I was able to use "Boner" last time I played.

As for card games, I'm up for anything, so long as alcohol is present.  I've grown partial to euchre.

How very Hoosier of you. After 20 years of throwing down, I only enjoy euchre with copious amounts of alcohol. It's mostly a game of luck. Only ridiculous fuckups such as misreading one's hand can offset the almighty shuffle, cut, deal when you get four people together who know what they're doing. So the more you drink, the dumber you play and the more hilarious this game becomes.

I should point out that I typically get so drunk that I need someone to go over the rules with me every time I play.  

It's like pro bowling in that the game doesn't actually start until somebody doesn't bowl a strike. Getting euchred is worse than getting your pants pulled down at communion. Me and another dude swept a four-game set from two other dudes last Saturday and we were fucking CLOWNING, son.

Let's play soon. Your wife, does she go?

She's the one that introduced me to it.  It's big with her friends in Michigan.

We should invite you guys over for a game soon. Or vice versa.

A waste of a perfectly good Monty Python ref.

XBLA introduced me to Carcasonne and Settlers of Catan, which are both pretty fun games.  I'm always up for a rollicking game of Fireball Island.  I'll play pretty much any card games.  Apex is right about euchre being almost entirely luck, but I still love that game.

Euchre is a game most women can not suck at. So it cuts down on the eye-rolling-arms-folded-sigh-I'm-bored-you're-drunk-shut-up look I tend to get at some gatherings.

Just played two new games this weekend; Zombie Flux and Battlestar Galactica: The Board Game.

Zombie Flux is a card game where the rules to win change almost every turn, as do the condition of the games (ie: how many cards you draw, how many cards you can play, how many cards you can hold in your hand, etc.).  BSG is a pretty cool game in which you and your friends play to save the ship from the dreaded cylons, although one (or more) of the players might actually be a cylon.
