Not-So-Deep ‘You Know What I Hate?’

I hate losing games.  This is why I created a system in which I always win.  For example…

If i’m playing Blokus with Benutty and Gary Jr., and Benutty beats me… I win.   How is that possible you ask?  Well let’s put it this way.  If Benutty won then he either cheated or got lucky… so therefore… I win.

Another example…

If I’m playing the Settlers of Catan with Benutty and Gary Jr., and Gary Jr. beats me… I win.  How?  Well obviously Benutty either cheated or helped Gary Jr. win, or Gary Jr. got lucky… so therefore… I win.

See how simple this is.

Question of the Week (03/20 – 03/26)

This week’s question was asked by 3rin of San Francisco, CA:

What ONE activity could you do all day long without getting bored? And no…the answer is not abortions, Jiz.

I would have to say… making fun of Benutty’s thighs and Gary Jr.’s 4 stomachs.   Oh ok.. I guess the real answer is that I could play games all day and never get bored.   By games I mean any board games, computer games, drinking games or video games.   What I really need to do now is make up my own game and make millions of dollars off it.  Then I would rub it in every-one’s faces and say “you ain’t gon get mine motha fuckas”.

Seriously though when is game night?   I need to buy an easel, and a giant pad of paper so we can play Pictionary.  What!

Games & Booze

If you know any of us (besides Jay) you know that we love to play board games, and drink.  Nothing can go better together like games and booze because they both promote socializing.   A game isn’t just something you play to win; it is something you play while spending quality time with the people you love to hate.

I thought I’d give you a countdown of the top 5 games we love the most, and how superior I am at them. (That’s right… I said it).

#5 – Blokus

We are fairly new to Blokus, but I think we are already obsessed.  Unlike some of the games we play (i.e. Settlers of Catan), Blokus is a very quick game.   With my keen eye for geometry, and strategy I am almost unstoppable when playing this game.

#4 – Catch Phrase

No drunken evening is complete without stressing Gary Jr. out with a game of Catch Phrase.   Although we worry about the health of Gary Jr.’s heart while playing this game… his squeals of stress, which make his tongue stick out as if it is reaching for something, makes all of us laugh.  This makes the game so much more enjoyable.  My quick thinking, and perfect clues make me the best person to have on your team.

#3 – King’s Cup

Ok..Ok.. I know it’s not technically a board game, but it is quite possibly the best drinking game ever!!!  King’s Cup is the perfect way to start out the night.

Me: I just drew a Jack (Categories)… I’ll say.. types of Cookies… Sugar Cookies

Benutty: Chocolate Chip

Gary Jr.: Snickerdoodle

Alfie: Oatmeal

Jay: Mint Milano

Me: Peanut Butter

Benutty: umm umm Oatmeal

Aww.. sorry Benutty you can’t say a word twice.  I win again!

#2 – Settlers of Catan

Although many would think this would be my all-time favorite game, it is not in fact the best game to play while drinking.   It is though the best strategy game of all time.  Catan is like a way of life.  Among my friends I am know as the Lord of Catan… the greatest player in the city. Thou shall bow down to me and worship.

#1 – Game of Things

This is by far one of the most ridiculous, funny games ever invented.   I don’t need to say much about this because I think it will speak for itself.   I want everyone to play along now.   Post as a comment your answer to: “Things that make your eyes hurt?”, and you’ll see why this game is amazing.
