While on vacation with friends, including Joe (can’t believe I just called him a fucking friend), we became obsessed with the card game Dominion. If you haven’t heard of or played this game yet, I am telling you … BUY IT NOW. It is as addictive as crack cocaine (not that I have that frame of reference, but I’ve heard things) and as fun as bubble wrap.
In fact, we became so obsessed, we played the game repeatedly inside the cold, dark beach house, instead of going out by the pool, the beach or just out doing things in general.
“Wow that was a great round, guys!” Joe said to us all after I beat everyone’s ass.
“Sure was … lets play again!” said another friend.
“OK,” Joe agreed, “but lets take it out to the pool.”
“We can’t, you asshat,” I chimed in (I was a little drunk-skies). “The cards will blow all over in the wind.”
“But they won’t blow everywhere,” Joe insisted, “if they’re glued to the table!”
Everyone’s eyes roll.
“Seriously, guys! This could be big! Now, regular glue just wouldn’t work, but what about tacky glue? You could glue cards to the table, or to one another, and then just pull them apart with just a little effort! Think of all the people in this world who like card games. Thanks to my invention, no longer would they be confined to the indoors … take your games to the pool, to the beach, to the moon!”
One word: Velcro…
You know it was twelve long years between the initial development of the post-it note and its rise to market dominance. Lots of naysayers initially. Just sayin’.
The moon?
And it would make it harder for people to look at your cards when you go to the washroom. I think that Joe might be on to something here.
congrats on doing so well on your goals. Sounds like you are well on your way! Loved the anniversary pics, btw. And are you seuorisly hosting a workshop?? I am so in if you are. Can you shoot me some info? And if you aren’t, I feel really dumb P.S. Just got our big canvas of our family shot. It is still floating around the house, I just can’t decide where to put it!
Omfg… Is this guy for real? I’ve been reading your stories for some time now, and Joe keeps amazing me with his shit load of ideas xD
I especially like the clarification that I can take my cards to the moon. In all honesty, that’s what was keeping me from going.
Dominion is one of the most awesome games ever. Ever ever ever ever EVER! Gluing the cards down is one of the dumbest ideas ever. Ever ever ever ever EVER!
Then again, I boght my boyfriend a Dominion expansion pack for Christmas, but not the starter set. So dumb is in abundance!
Blutack?
Will work GREAT until you can’t get the goddamn cards off your fingers. Shitcan this one,Joe.
I have a deck of beach Uno. It’s Uno with plastic playing cards that are waterproof and would work well with Joe’s card glue!
Amazing.
Dominion very good! Glue and cards very bad!
Fuck me – he’s a card is Joe!
