The games people play. And the people those games play right back.

I'm an illogical, often irrational nut in real-life, but somehow I'm pretty decent at games of strategy and planning, like Battleship, Mastermind. Twister. Chutes and Ladders, too. Actually, I don't know about that last one, because I always believed you could and should run UP slides instead, which I think flat-out contradicts the rules of that game. I did it all the time anyway on the playground as a kid because it was more fun than going down those thick plastic slides that pumped your hair full of static and shocked the crap out of you the whole way down. What a dirty trick.
