Ah, that brings back memories! Left and right Bowers (sp?) and the cool people - yes, me - knew how to keep score using the 2 and 3 cards. I haven't played that in probably 20 years or more. Another big one was quarters, but that's another story...

Hey, anyone from the other side of the pond know a drinking game where you say things like, "Chairman, Mr. Chairman." and follow something along Roger's Rules of Order? If you misspoke, you drank. If you didn't talk to the correct person, you drank. If you did almost anything, you drank. I played it with about 5 Irish guys and aside from only understanding about half of what they said when none of us was drinking, I thought it was great fun.

>Being from Illinois, have you ever played Euchre? It was big in Wisconsin when I was growing up in Portage. We had family reunions that had Euchre games going on at numerous tables (usually 5 or 6) - you rotated tables as you won (or was it when you lost?) It's been too many years - I haven't met anyone from the South who knows how to play unless they are transplanted yankees.
