It's Friday ...

I plan to spend about 14 straight hours playing board games tomorrow (Well, overlapping a bit with Sunday)... I am such a geek.
Proud to have finally moved to the A-Ark. Which one are you in?
Author of the Guardians Saga (Sci-Fi/Fantasy novels)Hey, nothing wrong with marathon board games. We do it all the time at the cottage on rainy days. We once did an 8 hour stretch of Monopoly with 9 of us playing. Had to use the play money from three games to have enough! :)

Nah, not Monopoly... I'm in a strategy board gaming group... About 20-30 of us show up every weekend, and we play all sorts of games... It's a blast, but I sometimes feel a little too geeky when I'm taking the subway home at 3am :)

Up at 5AM tomorrow morning, breaky, check the site, caffeinate, then on the bike for a quick 100Ks with my crazy neighbour. Sunday: cooking. Evidently this will involve large amounts of alcohol. Monday: 5AM. Crazy neighbour. 100K. cf. "Sunday night: lots of alcohol" X|

My neighbour at the cottage shot a Canada Goose last Sunday to cook this weekend. He marinates the goose in Grand Marnier for about three days before cooking. Seems like a waste of alcohol to me. :) Good luck on that Monday morning ride. I'll still be :zzz:.

You use play money? you cheapskate............... :rolleyes: Me the wife and the bairns attempted monopoly last weekend, there was nearly a fight before we had even got round the board once. What with the youngest randomly moving pieces, the wife managing to aquire properties magically and the eldest she was hyper. Really also didn't like the fast play version.........

We played Monopoly when I was a kid until the first time I beat my dad, after which we were never allowed to play it again. Before I was married, myself and a few friends used to play it on Christmas Day each year with much drinking. Don't think we ever finished a game.

Author of the Guardians Saga (Sci-Fi/Fantasy novels)Well actually with 9, Monopoly becomes very much a strategy game. Think partnerships that only last for one or two rolls of the dice. :)

There's a lot of geese around here at the moment and there's no way I'd be taking one of them out. When there's about 4,000 of them in the air and they are all cranky about the weather, the travel, the goslings asking "are we there yet" and us in general, picking a fight with one doesn't seem a great idea. I learned the hard way that when it's bike vs goose, goose wins.

once again. What're everyone's plans? Here in Canada, it is another long weekend with Monday being Thanksgiving day. I'll be spending another great weekend with family at the cottage where we'll be having our annual Thanksgiving Beach Bonfire on Saturday, another fabulous Thanskgiving BACON Covered Turkey dinner on Sunday and hopefully everyone will be able to wake up on Monday and safely return home. :cool: Wishing everyone a great weekend. :)

Season opener for the Hawks tonight, home opener tomorrow. I'm still very sick, but have to attend my acting workshop tomorrow and a class Sunday night. I think I may have to attend some engagement celebration dinners, too.

Well, maybe... But not compared to something like Catan, Dominion, Puerto Rico, etc... Though I've been getting some of them hooked on The Resistance, which is kind of like werewolf/mafia :)

I do but it took a while to convince the wife that we wouldn't be attacked by a slithering mass of rattle snakes, get sting by scorpions or get carried away by the river. :-)

I'm going to be doing a Tough Mudder[^] with my wife to celebrate our 10 year wedding anniversary. Survival is my goal. Absolutely no symbolism there, heh.

I can think of other ways of bonding with my wife, but that looks like an interesting one to say the least. I must admit that I do like events such as this where time taken to complete is not a consideration. Rather that you have participated and completed the event. Best of luck to both of you.

Mom gave me a recipe once which was basically a huge hamburger, with bacon woven on top. When it's cooked, it looked like a giant turtle. The only reason I never made it was what do you do with the couple pounds of cooked hamburger when you're done eating the bacon.

Nah, the wargaming group meets a different day :) And I think someone here has a grudge against me... Got a double-one (Two of my recent posts) only a minute apart... Oh well, that's the Internet for ya.

It’s not a Canada goose, it’s an US goose visiting for the season. Nice hospitality!
