Day 237: Who Won The Game? Ourselves ask Ourselves

The bachelorette party in Vegas was sheer joy for those of us who participated. Lights, drama, tears, and even some smiles.

You can see our fine bride here:

But, as all true bachelorette parties should be, the fun really began when we began rehashing the weekend with those who did not participate. In retrospect, the weekend has become the most fantastically fun thing that anyone on earth has ever participated in.


So when blog reader and HTML widget man met (another, more respectful title could be "friend") Lara, Claire, TrippingOnMyCouch Amalia, and Mari for dinner last night, we really just wanted to talk about our weekend. And so, for all too many hours Jonathan kindly listed as we talked about our favorite topic: ourselves and how much we like ourselves and how much fun ourselves are having and were having and will be having. To Jonathan's major credit, he holds his own well up against four girls, and even occasionally interjected to make comments like: "I quit my job," and "I am coming to Kenya with you in March."

But again, these comments were secondary to the more pressing issue at hand, namely a point by point breakdown of some of The Game's favorite questions. The Game, if you remember, is just a series of questions that we write and then answer about, you guessed it: ourselves. There are lightening rounds, though.

Here are the four intrepid teams, fighting for glory.

Team 1: Tight




Team 2: Less Likely



Team 3: Smaribelle Revisited



Team 4: Saggy Dogs
