...I'm at a dinner party or something with couples or something and we start playing pictionary or Taboo or some game or something.
Just kill me at that point.
It's over.

I got Totally 80's Trivial Pursuit for Christmas...
I'll break out the board. You can be the Care Bear.

This isn't a thread about games!!
It's a thread about when you have changed from the person you once were and maybe still wish to be to the person you are or become!!!
George is getting angry!

Alright...good distinction.
So, I can play, but as long as I'm mocking the entire thing in my head, I haven't jumped the shark.
Thank you.
Although, if I'm ever in that position of dinner party/pictionary, I'm real close to the end.

Life is change, billy. There's no avoiding it. One day you're getting ready to go out drinking... the next, you're nodding off during an 8pm showing of some history program on HSINT and waking up to go to bed - and loving it.

I remember when I used to close out bars and trip home half-smashed. (never ever drive)
Now I'm asleep by 10 pm, and my best bar buddy and I talk happily about new appliances.
Hey, I'm not anywhere near the end. I'm happy, and I don't want to be that party-all-night 20 something again.

Amen, Christine. Nodding off in front of the tv with Ol' Boy is far better than staying out 'til three am and wondering why there are two yellow lines trying to go different directions down that three-lane street.
'Course, I wouldn't probably have thought so at billy's age, either.

Billy, nothing is a cool as a macho man playing Pretty Pretty Princess with his 4 yr. old daughter, especially when she lets him win and he gets to wear the crown, necklace, and earrings.. and she chooses the pink set for him. So ahemm about that board game..

Board games have their proper time and place.
Sunday morning with my children is something I look forward to.
Friday night at 11PM with the Hasbacks and Finklesteins is something I do not.
Thank you.

With family and children, games are great.
Especially with family.
Anything that distracts from potential arguments is great.
Socially, on a Friday night....I'll be able to fake it, but on the inside a little piece of my soul will die with each picture that someone draws.

Well, grab your jacket at 5 til 11:00 and beg off. And in the future find a couple that share your similar tastes. Nothing worse than enduring something you totally have no interest in. You'll just build up resentment, until you break and hit someone in the head with the board.

My worry is that I'll be over for a nice dinner and drinks and then someone will say "Let's play pictionary!"
I'm worried about the surprise gaming.
But..like you said, I can do it without being happy about it.
But I still think if i'm even in that position that I've jumped the shark.
I dont want to think about it anymore.
I'm getting nutso here!
