somehow i got talked into having a party at my house today. it was supposed to be a "polish party" and i was supposed to make pancakes. which i started to make. but after receiving none of the promised help from cynda, i boycotted and left the batter in the fridge for everyone else to make themselves. which worked pretty well, i must admit.
it turned out to be really fun, actually. while everyone else watched top gun and ate pancakes, a bunch of us played poker, and i learned a new game. unfortunately, i could not beat ben, the poker master, but i came in second, so it was all good. we decided that if poker was christianity, i would be jesus. ben and pat were the other two in the trinity. that's not blasphemous, is it?
after i lost horribly to ben, we played an intense round of twister. pat could not defend his title as all-time twister champion, because doug, who plays dirty, knocked him over. it was down to me and ben k. in the end, but again, doug interfered and pushed ben, who fell on top of me, and that was that. they all decided ben won, since i hit the ground first, but i totally could have kicked his ass.
after doug knocked me over in the second round, we banished him from the game, and cory and ben duked it out for the win. it was another tie, because i think doug finally pushed them down. but not after they were entangled in some pretty interesting positions.
all in all, it was a pretty decent party. cynda put the pictures up here under "polish party." check them out.
oh, and thanks to jeff and cory for cleaning up. that was awfully nice of them. and who says guys can't cook?
oh yeah, and lesson learned: have a poker set and twister board on hands at all times. that's all you really need.
