Why play cribbage when your wife has tittage?

― Casuistry (Chris P), Friday, 9 September 2005 19:56 (twenty years ago)

Hey! I play cribbage and have little tittage, but my playing and my tittage are high wattage and that's better than nothing.

Double run of four for ten!

― Casuistry (Chris P), Friday, 9 September 2005 20:04 (twenty years ago)

I would rather play Chiquita Banana and have my swimming pool than play Bach and starve.

Two for his nobs!

― Casuistry (Chris P), Friday, 9 September 2005 20:05 (twenty years ago)

one for his...something. what is it?

― The Milkmaid (of Human Kindness) (The Milkmaid), Friday, 9 September 2005 20:05 (twenty years ago)

heels!

― The Milkmaid (of Human Kindness) (The Milkmaid), Friday, 9 September 2005 20:05 (twenty years ago)

On this thread, we do not say "pwned", we say "double-skunked".

― Casuistry (Chris P), Friday, 9 September 2005 20:06 (twenty years ago)

To be honest, I don't know if I can play cribbage without having Chris around to count points for me.

― Markovitz, Friday, 9 September 2005 20:06 (twenty years ago)

I got skunked the last time I played. It was horrifying.

― The Milkmaid (of Human Kindness) (The Milkmaid), Friday, 9 September 2005 20:08 (twenty years ago)

Count your 15s, count your pairs, count your runs, check for flushes, check for heels. Do it methodically and you'll do well.

This isn't a good Raunchy Young Lepers song.

― Ian Riese-Moraine: Let this bastard out, and you'll get whiplash! (Eastern Mantr, Friday, 9 September 2005 20:09 (twenty years ago)

Also no mugging, we're playing friendly here.

― Casuistry (Chris P), Friday, 9 September 2005 20:09 (twenty years ago)

It's one of the best RYL lyrics though!

― Casuistry (Chris P), Friday, 9 September 2005 20:10 (twenty years ago)

hey, marko, i work right by SAIC and we can meet for lunch and cribbage sometime. you tell me when. i'll hold your hand while you learn to count.

― The Milkmaid (of Human Kindness) (The Milkmaid), Friday, 9 September 2005 20:11 (twenty years ago)

I can't believe I am in a thread that has mentioned those degenerate Raunchy Young Lepers.

Ok, Milkmaid, we'll play sometime.

― Markovitz, Friday, 9 September 2005 20:15 (twenty years ago)

If you're nice to me, I might bring lunch for you too.

― The Milkmaid (of Human Kindness) (The Milkmaid), Friday, 9 September 2005 20:18 (twenty years ago)

She makes good lunch. I will attest to that.

― jaymc (jaymc), Friday, 9 September 2005 20:19 (twenty years ago)

Oh, I love cribbage. We should do it online!

― ailsa (ailsa), Friday, 9 September 2005 20:21 (twenty years ago)

Cribbage is a time-killer at best.

― Old School (sexyDancer), Friday, 9 September 2005 20:21 (twenty years ago)

that smarted.

― The Milkmaid (of Human Kindness) (The Milkmaid), Friday, 9 September 2005 20:38 (twenty years ago)

What isn't killing time?

― Markovitz, Friday, 9 September 2005 20:39 (twenty years ago)

Art, Music, Poetry

― Old School (sexyDancer), Friday, 9 September 2005 20:41 (twenty years ago)

I prefer "passing" time rather than killing, saving, wasting or spending it. No need to be vulgar. We're just talking about a gentle card game.

― The Milkmaid (of Human Kindness) (The Milkmaid), Friday, 9 September 2005 20:42 (twenty years ago)

It's all counting and luck. Backgammon's a bit better.

― Old School (sexyDancer), Friday, 9 September 2005 20:44 (twenty years ago)

Backgammon's all chance! Chess is better, of course, but cribbage is lighthearted fun.

― Markovitz, Friday, 9 September 2005 22:13 (twenty years ago)

In crib there's a lot of strategy as to what cards you should put in the crib!

― Poppy (poppy), Friday, 9 September 2005 22:27 (twenty years ago)

Backgammon and cribbage both have similar amounts of strategy: Relatively little. But backgammon's is more explicitly about gambling, and thus boringer.

― Casuistry (Chris P), Saturday, 10 September 2005 02:15 (twenty years ago)

4-5-5-6 and upcard 4 or 6 is better than titty.

Cribbage! Great game or greatest game?

― Alex Android (Viceroy), Saturday, 17 October 2009 23:22 (sixteen years ago)

greatest game

― iatee, Saturday, 17 October 2009 23:24 (sixteen years ago)

I've been meaning to try this game. I'm not big on card games, but friends say that we should really try it.

― Jeff, Saturday, 17 October 2009 23:25 (sixteen years ago)

it's pretty easy to learn

― iatee, Saturday, 17 October 2009 23:27 (sixteen years ago)

15-2, and the rest won't do!

― there's a better way to browse (Dr. Superman), Sunday, 18 October 2009 00:09 (sixteen years ago)

15-4 and the rest don't score!

― there's a better way to browse (Dr. Superman), Sunday, 18 October 2009 00:14 (sixteen years ago)

15-5 and you beat anyone alive!

― Alex Android (Viceroy), Sunday, 18 October 2009 01:39 (sixteen years ago)

that doesn't even make sense!

― there's a better way to browse (Dr. Superman), Sunday, 18 October 2009 02:01 (sixteen years ago)

15-6 and... Well, it was usually "oh fuck you!" when my dad and I would play.

I've been playing for 30 years and have yet to get a 29 hand. Has anyone?

― Bryan, Sunday, 18 October 2009 07:14 (sixteen years ago)

Don't think so but I srsly love this game. Online play ruined by miserable gits who log off when they're taking a beating.

Also, where I grew up a dead box was known as a Bull & Keatley after local undertakers.

used to play with a deck of elvis photo cards -- the seven of clubs, in which the light glinting off elvis' hair makes it look like he's wearing a yarmulke, was worth an extra nobs-like point

― mookieproof, Sunday, 18 October 2009 14:44 (sixteen years ago)

BRYAN!

― there's a better way to browse (Dr. Superman), Sunday, 18 October 2009 18:01 (sixteen years ago)

The Ranger, the Cook, and a Hole in the Sky to thread!

― Aimless, Sunday, 18 October 2009 19:44 (sixteen years ago)

I've been playing for 30 years and have yet to get a 29 hand. Has anyone?

Nope, but I did get 28 once. And hey I've been playing exactly 30 years too! (Since I was 11.) Haven't played much in the last decade tho.

― existential eggs (Abbott), Monday, 19 October 2009 18:30 (sixteen years ago)
