Hehe...Dangerously Amused is here and we're playing Sorry

[lizziegrace]

and the rules are made up because all we can find are the Spanish instructions. :)

Lelapin's going along with it. Bad influences, both of them.

[av8rdave]

1. Sounds like fun! Merry Christmas!

[lizziegrace]

2. We just realized that we have to read not just the numbers on the cards

but there are instructions too. But that would require lots of light and reading glasses. :)

[av8rdave]

4. I don't miss reading glasses!

Games are more fun when you make up your own rules anyway!

[Sanity Claws]

3. Spanish instructions?

Shouldn't the game be called "lo siento" or something like that?
Feliz Navidad, amigas!

[lizziegrace]

5. DA chortled

which cause Lelapin to snort. Fun times...

[flvegan]

6. See, Sorry is one of those games that really don't need instructions.

The cards kid of explain themselves, right? A 1 or a 2 gets you out of home, but a 2 let's you draw again (where you wish for a backwards 4.

You guys are just looney.

[lizziegrace]

7. We just participated in carbapalooza

so we're not thinking very clearly. Mashed potatoes, rolls and Christmas Cookies. French Silk pie is defrosting for later. Hehe... It's almost as good as playing drunk. :)

[flvegan]

8. Hmmm...somebody in your crew has some 'splainin to do.

*taps foot*

Lucy?

[lizziegrace]

9. I didn't say we all participated in all parts of

carbapalooza...

I'll let Lucy 'splain. ;)

But I'll tell you, the guilt's getting to her.

[lizziegrace]

12. Are chocolate Santas okay?

:evilgrin:

[flvegan]

13. Are they life sized?

[lizziegrace]

14. uh

She chooses not to answer that question. She pleads the 5th.

[Dangerously Amused]

35. Wait! I ... uh... I get a free pass for the holidays, right? Right?! RIGHT???

Uh oh.


:yoiks:

[lizziegrace]

36. We'll see how well that argument goes over

:popcorn:

:P

[Dangerously Amused]

38. Oh hell.

I'm gonna hafta play a "Get Out of Jail Free" card, aren't I?

Or call a lifeline.

Or buy a vowel.

Or something.


:scared:

[lizziegrace]

10. Damn

DA just won. x(

And yes, she gloats. :)

[lizziegrace]

11. This should be fun, now we're playing LIFE

hehe...

[Oeditpus Rex]

15. I didn't expect a kind of Sorry Inquisition

:D

[Dangerously Amused]

37. It were fun.

I *won because lizziegrace kept jetting off all over the world on swanky vacations, and lelapin would have won, except toward the end she decided to buy a different house, which admittedly was way cooler than mine.

*To the extent that one can claim to "win" a game of chance with spontaneously made-up and occasionally inconsistent rules. :7

[Tuesday Afternoon]

16. Hello --- this might help :-)

[lizziegrace]

18. "It's a wonderful Parker game"

:rofl:

[Tuesday Afternoon]

20. I wanted the one where the kid goes around the table singing...

Sorry! Sorry! Sor---RY!!

remember that one?

[Dangerously Amused]

39. I vaguely remember it. Oh man, now I gotta go see if I can find it!

:7

:hi:

[Tuesday Afternoon]

45. uh-oh...addictive isn't it?

if you find it...please post the link :D :bounce:

[Dangerously Amused]

21. lolol!

Dude's voice... omg. :7

:hi:

[Tuesday Afternoon]

23. I did not realize the game was that old --

:hug: :hi:

[LynzM]

17. Want the actual rules?

I only say this because we played tonight, too :P

Have fun!! :bounce:

[lizziegrace]

19. Nah

we've moved on to LIFE and we're butchering those rules too. :)

[Dangerously Amused]

22. Wait. What? There are RULES??

Uh oh.

:yoiks:

[LynzM]

24. LOL

Excellent. :D *waves*

[Dangerously Amused]

40. I like the way you think.

We need to find a way to get you here for the next game-a-thon. :7

:hi:

[LynzM]

44. Indeed.

I would love that! :hi:

[Redstone]

25. DA is there, actually right in your house? I'm jealous.

Redstone

[lizziegrace]

26. Yep, she's right here

she had Christmas dinner with us and has helped make it a great day. I haven't laughed this much in ages.

:)

:hug:

[Redstone]

28. Hey, please tell her that I can't tell her that I "that 'L' word" her in a public forum,

but she knows that I do anyway. (And no, Mrs R doesn't object to me saying that.)

Well, the above was more than a little bit convoluted, but DA will understand.

And please allow me to send my best wishes to you and yours for this holiday season. Even in these parlous times, it should be an interval in which we shut out the world, even if only for a short time, and celebrate what's really important: Family and friends.

Seems like you're doing just that.

Enjoy.

Redstone

[Dangerously Amused]

41. Pssst. I the-"L"- word you, too.

All my best to you and your family, glad to hear that things are going relatively well for you all these days.

:gentle hugs:

[Dangerously Amused]

27. So. Who won the Game of Life? Huh? Huh? WHO WON? C'mon, tell us!!!

:7

:rofl:

[Redstone]

29. I did. Because I'm still alive, astonishingly enough.

Redstone

[Dangerously Amused]

42. And we are all better for it.

Keep winning that game, dear friend. And cheat death every chance you get.

[ThomCat]

30. I taught JennaLaw and her mom how to play

Spite and Malice (also known as Shit on your Neighbor) :P

Jenna is kicking our butts! :wow:

[LadyoftheRabbits]

32. Awesome!

I played that game once with my great-grandmother, and somehow won. ;) Mom's gone to bed, but we hope you're having a wonderful time. :hug: :hi:

[ThomCat]

33. Merry Christmas, Lelapin!

:hug:

I am. I am having a wonderful time. :)

I'm glad you're having a good time too. Please give your mom and Dangerously Amused hugs for me when they wake up in the morning. :grouphug:

[LadyoftheRabbits]

34. Aw, Merry Christmas!

I will give my mom a hug, but DA already left... I gave her a hug then, so I'll say it was from both of us. :P

[ThomCat]

31. For the Love of Dogs!

JennaLaw brougth her 3 dogs, and her mom brought her dog, so there are 4 wonderful dogs here with us on vacation.

One of them is a 20 year old guy who's blind in one eye, nearly blind in the other, and almost deaf. His back legs are getting weak, and he's a grizzled, gray haired old man. He's become my best friend. I'm spoiling him wrotten. :7

This is a wonderful way to spend a holiday! :)

[Dangerously Amused]

43. Hey Thom sweetie!

Of course, before lizziegrace even started this thread she showed me the gorgeous gifts you sent her (the tree was our dinner centerpiece, just beautiful!), and we all discussed our fondness for you.

:loveya:

I am so glad that you are enjoying the holiday with friends. And having pets around makes the holidays extra-special. Spoil those doggie babies a little for Auntie DA too, 'kay?

Be well and stay warm.

:hug: :hug: :hug:
