Competitive nature
Shauna and I are both extremely competitive when it comes to, well, everything. How else can you explain why two people keep track of who wins more games of cribbage, darts and foosball? We even used to keep track shooting pool, but quit after a 13-game marathon night, and we got a bit burnt out. It also may have been because Shauna beat me 12-1 that night and I refuse to see how badly I continue to lose.
It’s great having a game room in our house, thus giving us the ability to play bar games and not have to leave the confines of our basement.
This is a little late, but here are the 2007 totals:
Cribbage winner: Jason 164 – 145
Darts winner: Jason 33-18
Foosball winner: Shauna 60-22
You know the competition is fierce when Shauna was accused of cheating in an especially heated game of late-night foosball last night. I’m not sure who would have done that, but I still swear she may have been taking two points per goal in our last game.
You may be in the confines of your basement, but you might have to hire a referee! (Obviously, Shauna must have won foosball last night if someone accused her of taking two points per goal!)

I. DID. NOT. CHEAT.

I beat Shauna 3-0 at darts and 2-1 at foosball last night. I really wanted to sweep all 6 games, but she was going to do ANYTHING for that not to happen!

I keep track of those things too. Especially with cribbage.

That’s so funny. My boyfriend and I are ridiculously competitive too, and I gloat a LOT when I beat him. Our games are darts and ping pong, though, and I can usually hold my own.

Shauna can hold her own too. I have yet to beat her over the course of a year in foosball. And I just tied things up in 2008 darts after being down by 7 games.

Ha, ha! Maybe A. and I should start to keep track of our Yahtzee wins!
