Game One: T.L.I.F.A.U redux.

OK. So first off we try "They Live In Fear Among Us" version c. Better but still no bell ringin' cigar winnin' wonder. Changes must be made!And soon! The game moved slightly better and as for the outcome ...well ...I won so how could that be bad? I guess because I had to be murdered by the angry mob to win. A cheezy deal but victory is victory and with my record for defeat I'll take a win just about any way I kin! Here we see the disapointed mulling their next move. Oh! Our special guest for the evening was a Chester legged "Evil" E. He was eliminated from the game. A comfort to see the bad get theirs!

Second Game: Redneck Life: Now here is a game that the entire gang could really relate to.Player with the most teeth at the end wins! A total and complete laugh riot. Universally acclaimed as the best game we've ever had at game night so far! More har-har than is usually legal. Players roll to see what their highest level of ejikashun will be and then are assigned a job. Yew also gits a wife or too latur on. I had the bad luck of getting the lowest level of learnin' possible (2nd grade!), came in dead last to the'day of reckonin . Managed to beat all the other rubes by a pretty good margin! Yeah I couldn't believe it myself.

Here (at the right) we see an image of one of the fine houses thatwere for sale in the game. This one has an eery similarity to a pal of Dr Ubi and mine from many years ago when we both did time on the Soo in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Brr! How's it possible?!

And finally a click of 'Evil' giving his best grimace over the board of his defeat.
Fun was had and if the past is any gauge of the future then I surely see "Redneck Life" being hauled out and played in the future. Highly recommended! Four Stars Two!thumbs way Up! Etc.!!!

Many of our interweb friends ask me... OK. It's not unusual, in my work-a-day life, for it to be inquired of me... Alright, cards on the table. It is a puzzlement inside my own head as to how it is that month upon month I am winning at Game Night (the voices, oh, the voices, yes, but don't think that I don't know what some of you are thinking. I'm looking at you Dr. R.)
...

OK. Much easier to write now that the meds have kicked in. What I mean to say, boys and girls, is that we live in a material universe. Therefore, there is no such thing as luck. And, let me tell you, hard work is overrated as well. Not that I take any chances along those lines. And that is why, month in and month out, I stick to these lucky 7 simple rules,

board.n.room's Tips for Inexplicable Game Night Success:

1) Arrive first
2) Order the grilled cheese sandwich
3) Drink the bourbon and only the bourbon
4) Load the dice
5) Deal from the bottom
6) Keep your eye on the dialectic
7) Never cross a redhead

There you be. Don't say I never show my cards.
