Games

I hate games - all games. Every so often I try but my continual loathing remains. Take for example 'Twister' - just a game for the perverted. Family game my arse - just an excuse to touch people in weird ways explaining it away by proclaiming "I was only trying to get to the blue spot". Chess or even speed-chess....how bloody boring is that?! Have you never wondered why grand masters look in-bred? No-one with half a social life would participate. Trivial Pursuit....boring. Just memorise all the cards before hand and amaze dinner guests with your amazing knowledge of trivia.

The reason for my ranting about games? I've been thinking about what Satan Claus can bring me. I saw the latest advert for the PSP2 portable, microwave your dinner, do the washing up thing. Looks great - be bored after a day. I've had a computer since 1981 and the only game I ever enjoyed playing was the one I wrote. Asteroids - in 1K of memory. I did try playing all the Atari, Sinclair Spectrum, Nintendo etc rubbish but it failed to ignite anything in me.

Also, a few years ago, my son wanted one of those PS2 things and so, to ease Satan's burden, I had to drive a wagon for a few weeks to pay for it (and all the other pressies Satan hadn't got around to making/purchasing yet). Tremendarse. A 40-foot artic in central London in the run up to Christmas. As luck would have it the route from the depot meant 'parking' on the M25 motorway most of the time. When I did get there it was truly the nightmare before christmas.

So, my recipe for success - avoid games at all costs......except strip poker or any other one that involves naked or soon to be naked partners (ha, how's that for politically correct - didn't mention lesbians once.....DOH!)

a luego,

Strip poker means loads of fun. I played once or twice and managed to keep most of my clothes on. But that was a couple of decades ago and I wouldn't dare playing that game again as I must have forgotten all about bluff by now, I'm sure I would end up catching a cold.

Scrabble is not boring, is it Master? What about the e-game we are currently playing, do you like it?

Oh yes... current girlfriend hates me, ex-wife still loves me - funny old game isn't it.

Strip poker is great as I'm really good at dealing cards. My hands move so fast, and in bed they move so slow ;-)

Oh yes... the funny old game, something like:

"You can't always get what you want
And if you try sometime you find
You get what you need"

I'm not sure the slow-motion is beneficial, it must rather give a tickeling sensation.

Coo - a Stones fan. How bizarre. What other freaky boomerangs are you going to toss in my direction that come back to you??

Not really a Stones fan but that particular song was appropriate.

Te mando un gran abrazo. Besitos.
(just tossing boomerangs...)
