I hadn't noticed that before. Odd. <br /><br />Maybe someday soon I'll challenge you again.

If you want to make up for that, challenge me in Words With Friends. Something about it stumps me and I use basically 3 letter words. New free game I found: 4 Pics 1 Word. Addicting! Not sure you can play with anyone other than yourself though.

Or Boris :) After your comment, I googled to find that there is a Chess With Friends app. I've never really played much, but I'd be up for a game.<br /><br />MarkD - Oh, I challenge myself. It's called golf. Though I'm not sure it constitutes learning anything knew, as I suck at it. Yet I keep trying, for some unbeknownst reason. <br /><br />TC - Um, those were mostly rhetorical questions.<br /><br />J Adamthwaite - I'm pretty sure it does. For example, friends have remarked before how I always win at mini-golf. Again, what am I supposed to do, not try to get as many holes in one as possible? And I'm definitely competitive at Trivial Pursuit! I like your story though :)<br /><br />Pia - I know. It pretty much extends only to the areas of life that do not provide fame or fortune.<br /><br />I've felt that way before. In those instances, I usually go with something generic, like "Nice blogging. Keep it up."<br /><br />Vanyave - I feel like our games are usually pretty close in SongPop (esp. when you choose Boy Bands a lot). SongPop is one game where I don't dominate. I mean, I usually win more than half the time, but it's not a blowout.Bonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10096591352278195759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6006953.post-36655804782683949472013-03-04T22:20:05.064-06:002013-03-04T22:20:05.064-06:00I don't mind playing and constantly losing (as...I don't mind playing and constantly losing (as evidenced by the fact that I haven't beat you in Song Pop in a long while) but I do mind it when the person is insufferable when s/he wins (I'm speaking generically, not specifically about you).

If you play tug o' war with your dog, you need to let the dog get the rope away from you now and again. If you're playing with a child, you don't go stomping them mercilessly.

Yes, that would've been smart. Where were you at 10 o'clock last night when I was writing this? :)<br /><br />Thanks. You too!<br /><br />Susan - Oh, I'm up for it. Although... what if you're much better than me? What if you win every game? Then I'll be exposed as nothing more than a poser. Oh, the pressure!!!!<br /><br />(PS: You should download Ruzzle.)<br /><br />Renee - I laughed out loud at your car-rah-TAE line. My favorite scene from that episode is when Elaine walks into the dojo and sees Kramer fighting children. "Kramer, what are you doing???" "I'm.... dominating."<br /><br />Cricket: grasshopper's ugly cousin.<br /><br />Cami - You know, instead of judging, you should try being more supportive. For instance, you could play me in Ruzzle even though you hate it. Or, stage an intervention.Bonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10096591352278195759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6006953.post-61638152799044696072013-03-04T09:22:33.611-06:002013-03-04T09:22:33.611-06:00I am judging you.
