WORST GAME NIGHT EVER

++ TONIGHT WAS THE worst game night ever. while waiting for lisa to show up, we decided to play scattegories, which is always a good game, for those who have an extended vocabulary or when the letter you are suppossed to start the word with isn't the letter K. seriously, there aren't that many words that start with K anyway. and to try to think of them on a time limit with categories. nearly impossible. next was boggle. this lasted a whole turn. combined, five of us had 21 words. john had 22 by himself. stupid left-handed people see things in a completely different realm than the rest of us. last game we tried was trivial pursuit, except the game was from 1980 or some really really far back year .. (1980, wasn't that the year i was born?) .. so all the questions were of pop culture before our time or before we cared about pop culture .. (how much of pop culture do we care about now?) .. so after deciding that everyone playing by themselves was going to be too hard, we paired up into three groups of pairs. which didn't help either. everyone missed almost every question, so we started playing any answer gets a pie. brad and nick got easy questions and won, while foley and john quit after four turns. game night lasted half an hour and eeveryone left with bruised egos of being stupid. 4 months away from a masters degree and we are belittled by board games which defy our limited made up architecture vocabulary such as 'crit' and 'datum', oh wait, thats not a made up word, although in my project it might as well be, board games which defy our limited capacity to find 3 and 4 letter words from a jumble of letters visually connected, and board games which defy our limited knowledge of 1980's pop culture. lot of good these two degrees do us.
..
oh more soccer terms here. ++
