uni-
if Blogwars are any indication, I think i know who'd run the smear campaign against you. lol. We do need some representation, though - perhaps a union of Bloggers...

LOL!! Who do you think would be my running opponent?
I've actually cut back, downsized from 15 to 10 (oh 11 counting a new blog I began today) blogs.

Ah, Mr. Bierach...
his mindless banter with Dara Demi... his tubby middle and ill-fitting ties... what a guy. :) nice to see you unicorn! I noticed the other day how busy you are here at Blogittown. You should run for Mayor. :)

I heard a rumor that somebody
was getting slap happy in this town!
Better watch it, all that slapping might sound like thunder and set poor Karl (the weather man) off.

Alf-

um, no. My husband was born without the "hot" gene. That's why he has me. hahahaha. Seriously, though, it would kill him. I have printed the recipe out, though, juuuuust in case he pisses me off. I have changed the name to "The Pile"

ISN...
Sounds like a great time!  I love family board games.  Hey next time why not serve them all some Norwegian Enchiladas...it's a great post-game snack.

Hollee-
Sounds perfect!

LOL - this does sound so much like Slap Jack--as I see someone else
pointed out. In my family we play tackle cards--doesn't matter what the game--tackling is involved.

gypsy-

slapjacks... is that a form of jacks? I have never been coordinated enough for that game, although the slapping sounds fun!

We don't have that ad here, but it sounds odd, lol. The game is great therapy, and the little lunchbox it comes in is adorable... I like miniature objects...

LOL Insanity...

I used to love playing SlapJacks with my brother when I was little because I could hit without discretion. Then I realized so could he... that sucked!

That sounds like great fun...I'm all for an excuse for slapping people and to be able to do so in the name of the game is perfect. Now let me think....I might get started on that list of my most annoying people....and I will put rings on every finger....some turned the wrong way round so when I slip-slap it hurts as much as when they slap my hand!!

By the way....that makes me think of an ad that has run here on tv since I was a little girl...for sunscreen..."Slip, Slop, Slap!" do you have that one? If not....you could use it as a slogan for your game. Don't know where the slop would fit in....but I never figured out where it fitted in regarding sunscreen either!

We did try Candyland...
too tame. I think we need some form of yelling in the game. lol.

You guys should stick to something mild ...
um, like candy land.

Pit I remember, but hands down sounds good too (slapping involved?) good fun! lol Thanks for reading! :)

Funny story....delightful to read! read.
We have had similar bouts of fun with pit and hands down!

lol, Merry,
it was hilarious. I wish I could make everyone play the game and then reread my account of it- though I bet most would play more civil-ly!

LOL! I have no idea what any of that was about but it sounds really, really fun!
