A game called "Poo"

Tonight we played a game called "Poo" with our friends. A first a bit skeptical, before we knew it we were howling laughing at the ludicrousness and fun of it all! [for those of you familiar with "Bang!", it is like that, only much simpler and funnier).

The setting is that we (the players) are all monkeys who have gotten a little upset with each other and begin throwing *ahem* excrement at each other. Everyone has 5 cards which determines what you can throw, how you can dodge, how you can "clean", and of course various mis-haps and wrentches you can throw into the game.

There are different ways of dodging the organic substance, for instance by grabbing a buddy next to you or using a leaf. You can also shake yourself off, which is unfortunate for your buddies who take a hit. You keep a tally of how much has been flung at you and after 15 hits, you are out of the game. At the end of the game there is a winner, the cleanest monkey, but most of all, it is just plain fun! As you may well imagine, with some creative players (tonight they were mostly male...) this can get quite funny.

In other news, we got excellent head-way on thank you cards today, so I'm optimistically predicting first week of March they will be all in the mail.  (we didn't take good card to record the gifts as they came in, so we are compiling the shipping receipts now)

Additionally I was able to admire Jon all day as he diligently plowed through his work. His concentration and focus are truly admirable!
