No Pain, No Game

To some people, playing cards is an activity of fun and leisure. It is a chance to spend time with friends and enjoy life.

But, to Cody, Jayson, Christian and me, playing cards is much more. It is a test of strength, stamina and endurance. Some people have their so-called ``marathons,'' ``gym memberships,'' and ``extreme challenges.'' But, these activities quickly become dull and boring.

Last night (er this morning) the four of us started our 3rd game of Spades. We began around 2:45 AM. We then played some of the worst spades ever. Five hours late, at 7:45 AM, Cody and I finally emerged victorious...

At their request, and because I have these rare inexplicable moments of nerdity, I plotted our scores. Please, enjoy.

I'm no scientist or specialist in reading excel graphs, but it would seem to me that your oppenents had the game won around hand 23, but then it appears that they decided to go nelo on several occasions....WHAT IN THE NAME OF ALL THAT'S HOLY WHERE THEY THINKING?!?

that is all,

not they...the lost lies soley on the shoulders of one Christian "i can get the blind this time for sure" Clem. I was his partner in this never ending game of spades and i should tell you that a chimp can play better spades than Clem. He is truely one of the worst spade players I have EVER SEEN! So the question should be WHAT WAS CHRISTIAN THINKING?
