New Oh, man
And here I thought I found myself a new drinking buddy!

(And yes, I'm a wild, uninhibited and shameless drunk. See all the fun you'd be missing?)

New Re: To learn...
Will I come home broke and hung over?

Never mind- I found the rules on the internet. It is a lot like quarters. I would kick your ass!

Dimes:


Required Materials: Beer, an ash tray, and several dimes (Note: No more than 2 dimes per person).

Objective: To land your dimes on the ashtray. Last person to have their dime land (and stay on) the ashtray has to drink.

Rules: Turn the ashtray upside down. This makes landing the dimes much harder. No person may have more than three dimes in front of him/her at any one time. If anyone notices a player with more than three dimes (either in their hand and/or in front of them) then they can call that person and s/he must drink before they can throw another dime. Throwing a dime is not actually a straight toss, but rather a bounce off the table onto (hopefully!) the ashtray. If it stays, then that player no longer needs to throw another dime, unless their dime gets knocked off, at which time they must again land another dime on the ashtray.

The player that lost the previous round starts the inital throw. Then it is basically a free for all (remember the three dime rule). The game ends when all but one player has a dime on the ashtray, at which time that player loses and must consume a set amount of beverage (BEER!). Then everyone can start the next game when they are ready. It gets a bit confusing when all the dimes get on the ashtray, so if there is any arguing about who's dime is on, both players in argument must drink and start over!

Broke, or broken?

Hungover, definitely. Ask Greg about the Sunday after the first time we drove out there.

New Pretty much, it went like this:
  1. I wake up, notice the time
  2. Try to wake up Scott
  3. Eat something left over
  4. Drink Coffee and LOTSA Diet Mountain Dew
  5. Notice Scott hasn't shown life signs yet
  6. Take a shower
  7. Wait another hour or so
  8. See the living dead show its face
  9. Wait some more til the blood gets to all parts of Scott's body
  10. Realize it won't happen
  11. Tell Zombie Scott to take a shower
  12. Wait some more
  13. Get all our trash in the car, including the pale one.
  14. Drive until about Ohio, before the second coming of Scott happens. This time with full color skin and vocabulary complaining about his back and his head
The day we left from Michigan, Scott had a biopsy of something on his back. It was sore. Maybe You even did the biopsy on it Lori! (larfle)...

So basically ~6PM Scott finally awoke, mainly because of my bitching and complaining about the traffic... and my lack of foresight in Drinking $LARGE_AMOUNT of Diet Mountain Dew. Causing me to literally to do a tire and viaduct check. We only lost about, hmm, 10 Places? Right admin?

New That was the day that...
... 90% of the population of the US was trying to get through the toll gates on the Ohio-Penn border, from the looks of it.

And no, 12 hour trips with a back biopsy aren't too much fun. Especially with a massive hangover.

New Better broke and hung over than hung and broke over.
And no, that actually wasn't supposed to make much sense.

Look at it as a koan, or something. :-)

Your lies are of Microsoftian Scale and boring to boot.

Imric's Tips for Living
  • Paranoia Is a Survival Trait
  • Pessimists are never disappointed - but sometimes, if they are very lucky, they can be pleasantly surprised...
  • Even though everyone is out to get you, it doesn't matter unless you let them win.


Nothing is as simple as it seems in the beginning,
As hopeless as it seems in the middle,
Or as finished as it seems in the end.

New That isn't the game that I think Scott was thinking of...
Necessary equipment. One cup of water, one piece of tissue paper (toilet paper, etc), one dime, cigarettes for the contestants.

To start, wet the tissue and place it over the cup. (I don't remember whether you wet the whole thing, or just the edges.) In the middle place a dime. 2 players then start taking turns. In each turn you must burn one (and only one) hole in the tissue with your cigarette. The person whose hole causes the dime to fall in, loses.

Cheers,
Ben
