Up the patriarchy!

[dagibbs]

It was, I must say, a very odd evening of gaming. I'm not sure why... I think I'll blame it on Cat. Or, maybe, iclysdale. We accumulated seven people, and decided to play unexploded cow. Cat said she had a house rule about wearing a cowboy hat when exploding cows, then iclysdale said he had a house rule about acting out the cow death. There were some very interesting cow deaths acting out. And, Cat managed the win. Also, several drinks were consumed by a number of people. We then gained one player, but lost two, and tried to play Illuminati, you know the old game, where if you sneezed, or even breathed hard, the money flew half way accross the table. Given the "happiness" of some players, and the ongoing silliness, this was fun, but people pumpkined before anything could be concluded.

So, apparently, not an evening of silly gaming, rather than serious (I blame The Patriarchy) -- but it was fun, and the company was good.

So how exactly do you act out the cow's death? Do you stagger around on all fours, pitifully moaning, "Mooooooo..."?

Oddly enough, we were also playing unexploded cow tonight. Our game was perhaps a bit more tame.

Let's see.

Some of the better contenders: Interpretive dance, a-la-goth; interpretive dance, a-la-Alberta; interpretive dance, a-la-performed-by-the-teddy-bear-DaGibbs-"liberated"-from-your-place-after-the-party, soliloquizing exploding cows abusing Shakespeare, the Ike EisenCOWer speech -- it was pretty scary.

UP THE PATRIARCHY!

As an aside, things began to go even further downhill when I noticed that Gibbs had both creme de cacao and raspberry vodka. I blame this entirely on you.

And, you see, all the cows have names... and all the cows have a "description" -- "a proud cow", "a nimble cow",... these were often the inspiration for the various interpretations.

So... the general got the bomb, and handed it off to "a nimble cow", and we get...

"Oh a bomb, I don't want this, you take it."
"A bomb?"
Juggle, juggle, juggle, juggle,
"Oops"
Booom!

damn!

See this is exactly the kind of gaming night I enjoy, silly and not going anywhere! I hate the serious must be quiet and pay attention type gaming :P

It wasn't planned to be silly. It just happened that way.

I know, but just saying that is what I enjoy most of all :D
