When geeks attack!

We were playing Settlers of Catan last night over at [livejournal.com profile] cadoln and [livejournal.com profile] streamweaver's. I had never played before, and I quickly got pinned in by my competitors, but I didn't mind because we had discovered the true joy of the game -- talking smack. Apparently in our version of Catan, the men are men and the sheep are scared.

Best moment:

[livejournal.com profile] kellinator, watching [livejournal.com profile] ljless_mike trade with the bank rather than the rest of us at a much better rate: You're just flushing those resources down the Catan toilet.

Hrm. David hates Settlers of Catan. Until I am around his AZ or KS friends again, I won't be playing it, either.

Is it remotely fun?

I know nothing of this game, but I did want to let you know that your boy Steve Nash is featured in a seven-page story in this week's Sports Illustrated (the one with Shaun Alexander on the cover and Kobe's 81 on the cover).

We play it every time we get a chance.

I just love it!
In fact, I get downright cocky while I am playing.

Well, see, my wife is very very nice, and this is exactly why we can never play these kinds of games with people other than family. She does not like when people are "mean" in games (she can't even play Risk at all anymore!). So, like, in Cataan, she always wants people to put the Robber guy on an empty space, so no one is disturbed.

AKA, remind me to never invite you over to play Cataan! ;)

Much Fun Was Had By All

I totally enjoyed every moment. My and Mike really let us see his fiesty side too. We must do that again. I also liked making the boys sweat with my long ass road and annoying puns when raking in the resources.

Ore you'll what? hahahhahahha
