game night.

well, last night was another successful game night for the books. the fischers (b*ll, spotted and shan) and the beers' (beersy and lori) came over and we had dinner and played battle of the sexes. having played battle of the sexes at xmas time with my brothers in law i warned everyone that the game is a little bit biased, and that usually the women have an easier time. before i could even get that statement all the way out b*ll puffed out his chest and spoke for the mens team, "i think we are up to the challenge..."

we played 2 games. the first one the ladies threw the smackdown on the guys at had all 4 pieces to the other side while the men only managed 2.5. this game was also quite lengthy because each question required the men to deliberate and sometimes all out argue for a good 5 minutes per question..

here are some of the things i learned about my coworkers game playing strategies last night...
1. he would lay a baby down on train tracks for the madonna song "crazy for you", but not for "into the groove".
2. he thinks very strongly that zucchini, not beans, come in the following types, string, snake and runner.
3. if he decides mid argument that he is wrong, he will "respectfully" withdraw his answer.
4. if someone else answers before he does, he politely "defers" to that person.

since the mens were becoming so agitated that the ladies were kicking their asses at this game we switched the questions around and took a shot answering the womens questions and let the men answer the mens questions. the men narrowly won that round, proving that women are much smarter. :)

i still can't remember what a stiletto is besides a shoe...
