Event Hosted By John Link To Event Start slideshow Beat John at Chess and Wii Written By John 09/16/2009 click for full size On Tuesday night, five chess enthusiasts (sorta) got together for some intellectual stimulation (sorta) at my house. Those in attendance were myself, Becca, Mark, Bob (not a MI guy) and Rick. Since it was a nice night, we got started out on the Superstructure. I played Becca and Mark played Bob. Mark and Bob were locked in a defensive struggle that seemed to go on for days. About 30 minutes in, I think two pieces were off the board. I kinda stopped paying attention at that point. Besides, I was too shaken by the fact that Becca beat me in our game. Yes, she beat me. I still don't know how it happened, but Becca beat me. She beat me BAD. In fact, I'm still reeling from it. I think I need to go lie down. Rick got there late after Ultimate Frisbee, all sweaty and smelly. But we were forewarned about the condition he'd be in, so we were okay with it. Rick took my seat to go up against Becca and try to bring and end to her one-game winning streak. As it got darker, we moved the party inside so we could actually see the pieces. Rick ended up beating Becca, and...well, someone eventually won the game between Mark and Bob, but I can't remember who it was. It just took way too long and my interest faded. Besides, I was still all shook up from my earlier beating. We kept on playing for a few hours, mixing and matching opponents. I played Mark, Rick played Bob, Mark played Becca, I played Bob, etc. We also sent out for pizza. Becca put mustard on hers. She always does this and I'll never understand why. It's pretty gross. Enjoy the pictures. Seeya next time. More Photos

John	Unfortunately, no. I blame you, Barb. You should've been there creating cookie goodness. ;)
Barb	oh man! That pizza looks delicious! Chess/Wii night without cookies? There's no one baking in your kitchen???
John	Mine doesn't bark... ...but it plays two songs. It alternates between "Who Let the Dogs Out" and "Hound Dog." I saw that thing at Target a million times, and each time I saw it, I'd think, "That thing is so stupid. Who would want that in their house?" And then one day, I was just in some kinda weird mood. I saw it and thought, "I need that..." :)
Jennifer	cookie jar John- I have that same cookie jar for dog cookies! does yours still bark? i wanna say I got it at either spencers or bath bed and beyond.....
