Death Challenges you to a game of your choice. Your life is on the line..

[LynneSin]

..what game will you pick?

(aka: The Seventh Seal)

Me, I'm unbeatable at the game of Risk. No one can beat me at Risk!!!

[Ruffhowse]

1. Trivial Pursuit-Baby Boomer Edition

[GOPisEvil]

2. Trivial Pursuit: The Original

Bring it on, Death!

[Salmo Trutta]

4. Jai Alai

I figure death would be at the same disadvantge I'd be at...

[northzax]

11. good point

maybe Death is left handed?

[fudge stripe cookays]

7. Yep, me too.

I've only been beaten once, ever. And that was a fluke.

[Reverend_Smitty]

3. Beer Pong

So if I lose, at least I'm wasted! :beer:

[LynneSin]

5. I would pick Mexican - at least I could win that drinking game

never Quarters - I suck at Quarters

[LastKnight]

6. Life...

i guess... i mean... what else would somone pick, dont we try to beat death daily just by trying to stay alive?

that and the spinner thing is easy to cheat at... lol

-LK

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

8. Battle Cry. I play as the Confederates. (nt)

[XNASA]

9. Free Throws.

I'll shoot free throws against anyone. Just me and the hoop and the ball.

[Lavender Brown]

10. I challenge Death to a game of Hungry Hungry Hippos!

[sus]

12. you're obsessed with death. seek help!

[LynneSin]

16. What - are you a scared cat. Afraid Death will open a can of whoopass...

...on you??

[sus]

18. no. my favorite hobby is walking out in front of trucks.

it's like frogger, only better.

[GOPisEvil]

27. Hey - you're cute!

[northzax]

13. operation

no contest. It's DEATH, that would be someone you figure would suck at saving lives, even if he/she/it wanted to.

I mean make her make the choice between the glee of killing the patient and killing you, torture for death. plus those bony hands can't be real dextrous, you know?

[Devils Advocate NZ]

14. Tic Tac Toe...

It is impossible to lose Tic Tac Toe if you know the right moves. It always comes out to a draw.

So the question will be who loses patience first - Death, or me? With my life on the line, I think I would have far more to lose!

[BurtWorm]

55. Excellent choice.

You could live forever playing Tic-Tac-Toe. Or die when you were ready, in any case.

[Foehammer]

61. Unreal Tournament 2004 !!

First person shooter PC game.

I win amoung all the nerds that play.

Death would ahhhh die hehe

[hunter]

15. Calvinball...

From the comic Calvin & Hobbes. You make up the rules as you go, maybe even stretch out the game for ninety or a hundred years if you are clever and have good genes.

[phillybri]

47. Rummy 500

He couldn't touch me...

[gmoney]

82. Ever read the Woody Allen play "Death Knocks" ?

It's in one of his little books of short humor pieces (Without Feathers maybe) and it's a modern suburban version of the Seventh Seal, with Death coming for a Jewish businessman who challenges him to a game of gin rummy in his sitting room... Death gets his clock cleaned, and the man gets more time.

Very funny piece... and I read it like three times before I "got" the joke in the title.

Check it out... wonder if the writer of "Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey" paid the Woodman any royalties, or if either of them sent props to Bergman.

[jdonaldball]

17. A 100 metre dash...

...at the 2060 Olympics...

[MissMillie]

19. Quarters

that way even if I lose I'll be too snookered to worry about the fact that I'm going to die.

[jus_the_facts]

83. Don't fear the REAPER....fear ME....Quarters Champion '85-'90

*cha-ching* :evilgrin:

.....YOU drink! :beer:

[Misunderestimator]

20. Scrabble.... Death would just initimidate me too much for Chess

[VOX]

68. Scrabble here, too. I would stand a fighting chance!

As long as my tile picks came up okay!

:toast:

[Misunderestimator]

72. Yeah, I'm likely to get QZXWVFD as my first pick

:toast:

[LynneSin]

73. Let Death play first

Hopefully he'll put a vowel down that you can use

[Misunderestimator]

74. But we have to draw tiles to determine who plays first... how do I

stack the tiles? :shrug:

[LynneSin]

76. Use your "F" or "W" tile (4 points) as your 'high' letter

and hopefully Death will have the J tile. With F/D/W you can pretty much spell a 3 letter word with any opening vowel that Death puts in his opening word.

Then you can just act like you picked up the Q/Z/X sometime later in the game. Hopefully Death doesn't have the ability to see your tiles.

[Misunderestimator]

80. LynneSin.... I think you are just too fixated with Death to be healthy...

really... I'm concerned. :bounce:

[Magrittes Pipe]

21. I'd challenge him to a duel.

But I'd turn at 5 paces and shoot that motherfucker in the back.

Hey, there's no place for honor when you're fucking around with the Reaper.

[scarlet_owl]

Trivial Pursuit or Yahtzee.

Maybe a cookie-eating contest.

[flamingyouth]

22. Mah-johngg

Of course, there's a catch here - we'd need two other players, or at least one other player. I certainly wouldn't want to make things more complicated for Death - he has a hard enough job as it is.

And I love The Seventh Seal, BTW!:hi:

[GOPisEvil]

25. Heck...I'll play.

I've never played the game before, so I'll keep getting frustrated and turning the table over in anger. Of course...it might not be a good idea to have death mad at me...but I'll challenge him to Trivial Pursuit and send him packing!

[flamingyouth]

29. Good - we still need one more

Where are Finnfan or Fenris when we need them?:D

[GOPisEvil]

31. Yes...we must summon those who worship at your altar.

:D

[flamingyouth]

33. Maybe you guys can start a cult

Well, let's call it a "religion" - just think, no taxes! :evilgrin:

[GOPisEvil]

35. Church of the Eternal Flamingyouth!

Rev. GOPisEvil, at your service. Demons be GONE!!!!

I'm going to have to work on my hair though. It's not big enough for a preacher.

[flamingyouth]

39. That's PERFECT! It's exactly the name I'm looking for

for a relgion all about ME! Why I hadn't thought of it before is beyond me!

As for your hair, you can always go with the horrid toupee look - it's still big with the TV preachers I see.:D

[GOPisEvil]

40. I have to get my house declared as a temple!

I don't want to have to pay those pesky property taxes. :D

[flamingyouth]

41. Now you're talking!!!

How is the new house, er, temple going?

[GOPisEvil]

42. Really good, thanks.

Two main projects left:

1. Fix some prior water damage in the ceiling.
2. Replace some hideous light fixtures.

Hopefully, I've dealt with the ants. I hate ants.

[flamingyouth]

43. I'm overrun with spiders

Any advice on that? I feel like I live at 1313 Mockingbird Lane!

We had to replace the roof on the garage, rebuild the porch to the garage and do some major yard work (she hadn't pruned the place in four years).

Now I still have to replace the front porch and back deck (both were built with untreated wood ... in Seattle :eyes:).

Saturday I'm getting some new, much needed furniture.

Yes, $ is tight. :D

[GOPisEvil]

46. I have a couple of spiders, too. But, they are eating the ants.

:-)

I've had to have my roof patched around the chimney as the people who installed the roof NAILED THROUGH THE FLASHING!!! :argh:

My yard had been growning unchecked, too. I pruned the trees back, and they look much healthier.

Find God_bush_n_cheney when he gets back to Seattle. He rearranged my living room furniture so it looks a lot better and is more functional.

I've been spending like a sailor on leave this month. Next month I make my first payment. :D

Untreated wood? What a moran!

[LynneSin]

48. Hey - start your own thread about "Death takes up Home Repairs"

:mad:

[GOPisEvil]

49. We have a new threadjacker in the fold!

MATCOM continues to expand! :D

[LynneSin]

51. You know, get your own "Death becomes a MATCOM threadjacking asshole"....

...thread elsewhere - this is a serious question and you're messing it up

[GOPisEvil]

54. Happy?

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=105x1399367

[flamingyouth]

56. I'm sorry

Please don't hurt me, Lynne.:(

[LynneSin]

57. Not me you have to worry about - it's Death

He asked me to start this thread. He'll be stopping by each of your houses tonight to play games

[flamingyouth]

63. Damn - all I think I have is an old version of Operation

Do you think that will work?:shrug:

[LynneSin]

66. I don't think Death is capable of keeping people alive

you should be fine!

[flamingyouth]

69. Right on, sister!

:thumbsup:

[GOPisEvil]

60. Don't apologize! MATCOM never apologizes!

Muahahahaha! :evilgrin:

[Misunderestimator]

30. Count me in... I love MahJongg

[flamingyouth]

34. Excellent! We've got our fourth player!

:D

[LynneSin]

36. So does Death get all three of you if you lose to him?

You're putting alot of lives on the line!

[Misunderestimator]

37. Cool.... now what are the rules again? :)

I have a really neat MahJongg set from the 50s with bakelite tiles in a leather case that I picked up at an auction. Haven't had a chance to use it yet, and haven't played in years...

So, as long as you don't play like those crazy people who throw their tiles around and move from play to play in split-seconds... I'm definitely game.

Death does not get to set up the wall.

[flamingyouth]

38. No, I'm a good player but not that fast

My sets are from the '20s (we can choose whichever set we want) and yes, absolutely, Death cannot set up the wall. If Death cannot agree to such a simple request, well, then, Death simply cannot play. :D

[notadmblnd]

23. Dominoes

we'll play Dominoes.

[x-g.o.p.er]

24. Madden 2004

And I am the 1998 Vikings. He can be anyone else, and I will win by four touchdowns. Guaranteed.

[LynneSin]

28. What if he picks the 1985-6 Chicago Bears as his team

They were pretty tough on the defense. Could be a tough matchup!

[No2W2004]

26. Trivial Pursuit - doesn't matter what edition...

Or Monopoly....I'm a capitalist pig when it comes to Monopoly.

Jumping ramps on bicycles, who ever gets the most air wins!

Beer Bongs.

[DS1]

32. The Game of Life - of course

[THUNDER HANDS]

44. Tetris

I am the MAN at Tetris.

[mac56]

45. Backgammon.

nm

[Mr.Green93]

50. Russian Roulette

[LynneSin]

52. who would go first?

:shrug:

[curse10]

53. Dominoes, perhaps hearts

definately not chess

[EstimatedProphet]

58. Trivial Pursuit, or NTN

And I looked all through your post, and couldn't find the word "confess" anywhere. You're slipping.

[RetroLounge]

59. Oh come on! TWISTER is the obvious choice!

Worked for Bill and Ted, didn't it?

"Dude, you gave Death a wedgie!"

RL

[elcondor]

62. Hearts!

I am the Queen of Hearts!! Muahahaha!!!

*cough* Ahem . . .

[NoodleBoy]

64. HALO

I kick ass with that sniper rifle.

[Az]

65. Twixt

Can't seem to find anyone that can beat me in this game. I even played against two others taking two turns to my one and beat them.

[Samurai_Writer]

67. The answer is obvious!

Advanced Dungeons and Dragons. Because it's a game that has no end. I think I have been playing the same character and game now for 15 years.

[Parrcrow]

79. Solitaire

While Death is playing, I sneak up and grab his scythe and then run like hell.

[Commendatori]

70. Chess

I used to have a rating above 2000 (post-provisional) in the USCF. That's a far cry from International Master or Grandmaster, but most people would be lucky to walk away from their first tournament rated 1400. The rating scale is roughlt as such: if I'm rated 200 points above you, my chances of winning are 75%. If 400 points, it's my game to lose and it would take a blunder to do so.

I'm sure I'm not in the 2000 range now (I stopped serious study after the '93 Kasparov-Short match), but as I'm not master material in anything else, I've got to go with the games I usually win - which in this case would be either chess or cribbage.

[ironflange]

71. Q*bert

That's the one game I conquered. Could play all day on one quarter.

[AngryAmish]

75. Candyland

It is a game that is purely based on luck. I have a 50% chance at immortality. I'll take that bet. If immortal, imagine the interest you would get?

[LynneSin]

77. Winning imortality from Death with Candyland

If that's not available there is always Uncle Wiggly or Chutes & Ladders

[Taverner]

78. Twister!

I saw Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey!

[MrSlayer]

81. Old fashoined Rod-Hockey.

I'd wipe the floor with him.

[Parrcrow]

84. I hope you mean Road Hockey

otherwise its gross.:)
