So I called my mom last night....guess where she was?

[MrCoffee]

BUNCO!


What is this "game" taking over the women of America? Is it just a "game", or does something sinister lurk behind it?


Edit: I am not of Clan Midlo. My mom is actually nice.

3. It could be worse

My one aunt plays ladder ball in her front yard in her pajamas chain smoking Basic ultralights.

Oddly enough, this is my favorite aunt.

[MrCoffee]

5. What is this ladder ball of which you speak?

I've never heard of ladder ball, but if you can play it in your jammies while you chain smoke, it could be the sport for me.

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

7. I never heard of it until she made LostinVA and me play it one day

Basically, it's like a ladder, and you throw two balls connected by a string at it, and hope they get stuck.

They sell it at Dick's and it's oddly expensive. I think a set was like $30-40.

9. So much easier to make one yourself with PVC pipe

Up here it's called Donkey Balls. Seriously.

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

11. I need to tell my aunt that

She'll start calling it Donkey Balls, and teach it to all her grandchildren.

[MrCoffee]

12. You East Coasters are strange

and your foreign ways confuse me.

[TZ]

14. Hey now I'm an East Coaster

And I never heard of ladder ball..and I had never heard about Bunco until I started posting here. In fact I do believe I posted a "What is Bunco" thread awhile back..:rofl:

[MrCoffee]

15. Donkey Balls, on the other hand

mmmm hmmmm

[Dr. Strange]

6. Wasn't this the premise of Heinlein's "The Puppet Masters"?

[Midlodemocrat]

8. I am nice as well, freeper.

[MrCoffee]

10. Don't you have a Southern Women's Terrorist Society Cotillion to attend?

[LostinVA]

17. I think she went to Bunco already

[MrCoffee]

13. If we told you, we'd have to kill you.

And what would the Lounge be without our MrCoffee? In the words of the philosopher Lennon, "Let It Be".

[flvegan]

16. She was rolling my "dice" after that, Trebek.

[Captain Hilts]

18. Now what IS Bunco? Is this the same game police tried to regulate through 'bunco squads'?

[TZ]

19. here's the best explanation I've gotten...
