but not for the obvious reason. i love it because you do absolutely nothing. i spent my entire science class playing jenga (actually it was the gas station version, tumbling tower) and i may add that jenga kick the major ass. i have nearly perfected the move of removing two blocks from the middle of the tower (in the same row, of course) and making the tower drop down a level. we also played connect four, which also kicks the major ass. what's your favorite old school game? (no vid or paper games)

connect four is awesome. i have it on good authority that any situation where you have two opportunities to win on your next turn is called a "doggy trap".

I like checkers and connect four, and yesterday all i did in class was destroy everyone at chess.

For me, it was always the Vietnamese knife game where you take a knife and spread your fingers and stab between them... Okay, so we really didn't do that at school, but that doesn't change the fact that I kick major-ass at it. For me, it was always Heads-up Seven-up, and if you never got to play that game in class, I pity you in a way Mr. T can only dream about.

today was the last day of school and so i went to say goodbye to all my friends. I was the only one there. So i cleaned out my locker and was about to go until one of my teachers stops me and asks "Where ya going, home?" As if the answer wasnt totally obvious but then he said why and so i screamed down the hall HELLO!!!!!! and then heard the echo HELLO "Thats why", I said and he let me leave.

Tic tac toe kicks major azz but... It's old and when you and your oponent are good at it it's just plain boring as nearly every game is a draw so... When at school I started playing the improved version of tic tac toe. You have to put 7 in a row [diagonal, vertical or across] and you get to put two crosses or circles in a go. That makes things more exciting because it's pretty hard to hide 7 in a row and when your oponent spots it he can block you in one move cause as I said you get to put two symbols in a go. There's one more rule. When you have let's say 6 in a row than one empty space and another two, if you put a circle / cross there that doesn't cout because it's over 7. And you got to have 7. No more no less. Pretty cool huh? My longest game lasted for about 1 hour and took a whole A4 sized paper.
