The following exchange between two of my housemates illustrates precisely what it is that distinguishes the co-op dweller from other urban Homo sapiens with which you may be familiar. It's the hippie-slacker patina laid over a core of intense dorkiness.
Josh: Hey, we should play Go.
Kye: Yeah! Can we get stoned first?
In these parts, yes is a good bet.
Posted by dianna at August 29, 2006 12:58 AMOoo! Have you insinuated yourself into any games of Go since entering the co-op?
Posted by: Zach S. at August 29, 2006 07:21 AMNegative. Though I did play a very bad game of chess last night. I got my ass handed to me along with a number of lessons on what not to do next time.
I don't think there's a Go board in the house, come to think of it. I should see if we can use social budget money to get one! And maybe Yinsh too!
Posted by: Dianna at August 29, 2006 08:43 AMWait; were they planning to somehow acquire a Go set, then play? Or were they going to play InvisiGo? In that case, I would assume getting stoned is a necessary prerequisite to proper InvisiGo play.
Posted by: Zach S. at August 29, 2006 10:47 AMI think I might do better at InvisiGo. I play much better at InvisiPool, I'll tell you that.
