Okay, real quick...
When Lovie Smith talks...he sounds like Cleveland from The Family Guy.
Kyle Orton and John Davey(who have to know the guy to see it).

Why! Why! Why am I such a geek??!!??
I am obsessed with Games. There I said it. Let the healing begin. (5 mins later)..I'm still obsessed. Well they say that the first step is to admit that you have a problem. I don't really have a problem. I mean there are a lot of other things that are far more important than my geekitry. The War in Iraq, the political turmoil in our Nation's capital, the Anna Nicole Smith saga and the lack of hair on Brittney's head just to name a few. But what is filling up a vast majority of brain space is the playing/reading about/pricing games. Not video games, I don't have the energy for that. That is far too much time and money investment for my tastes. Nope. I love Board Games(if I say that enough then maybe this will go away). I sell Board Games in my spare time. When I am looking for something to read, there is a good chance that I will download rules to a game that I am interested in and print it out and read it. My friends will buy games and drop them off at the Charm School for me to figure out and teach them. Teach them their own game??! What is wrong with me?
Well let's feed the Beast. Here are the Games that I own that I want to play. This means that if someone calls me now(it's after 11pm on a schoolnight) and says, "Hey quatsch let's play PR." There is a real good chance that I will indulge in that. Even if I have to drive to another town. That's how I roll.
1. Puerto Rico(PR)-One of my favorite games. Where else can I build things, settle plantations, and ship everything back to the Old World. In the World o' the Geek there is an issue with the color of the little wooden disks that represent "Colonists". Some would say that the color of the disks make them Slaves(the disks are a dark brown), I say whatever as long as they keep harvesting and working the manufacturing plants, I'm happy.
2. Die Macher-The title is german. It is not wishing death on some guy named Macher. It loosly translates to "The Power Broker". If I explain it now, I'll get no one to play it with me, because I cannot make it sound interesting. As a game, it is awesome and I've only played it once. That is how much of an impression on me.
3. Thurn and Taxis-Whoever said that building Postal routes through Southern Germany in the 19th Century would be fun...well really no one has ever said that. Great game and easy to teach even though I have heard to called "4 player solotare.
4. Carcassone-You pick tiles out of bag that represent sections of roads, cities and cloisters in Medivel France. A different game every time using the same pieces. Easy and quick.
Those are currently the Big 4. Honorable Mention goes to Heroscape. Look it up for a journy into total Geekdom. I mean come on, I'm 42 yrs old and I love pushing little painted figures around customizable terrian.
WHY! WHY! WHY!!!!
(and why doesn't the spellcheck work?)
