House = +1d6 Degrees
Well, that was such a good weekend that it's taken until Thursday to recover from it.
The house is successfully warmed. Highlights? The magic between James and Horns. Horns has little respect for social boundaries and James' reponses are not what you could call mundane.
Dave asked me to be his porn executor in the case of his death, but he was a little offended when I suggested that I would establish the 'Dave Memorial Porn Collection' for posterity. (Hmm, too difficult to make that a pun.) Try to out-gross me will you!
Finally one particular mteach friend braved the party and was slightly stunned by the nerd levels not only of the house but of the crowd. He decided that the Dark Crystal poster was the nerdiest item in the house. Personally I think it had some stiff competition.
Then GUGS the next day. I was wondering if this was a bad idea, but a few kilos of starch, sugar and caffeine later and all was well. Memoir '44 is a great game. I played and I wanted to play again, then again! I'm trying to reconcile myself to the blocks vs minis problem enough to buy C&C: Ancients. BattleLore soon.
Caylus is still a very good game, I should invent a word to shorten the phrase "I swear that this all sounds very complicated when I first explain it, but once we get playing it'll all make (almost) complete sense". I think I'm getting better at Caylus, but I can't get too good or else people won't come back (just kidding). I found it very interesting that ZoeH was a dark horse, I had no idea she was doing so well until right near the end.

Monster Trucks!!!
Hmm, jetvan, sprint cars, freestyle motocross, fireworks, monster trucks, demolition derby.
My vote goes to... the motocross guys. One guy hurts himself. While the other guy keeps on doing tricks the announcers are reminding everyone of how dangerous it is, and the horrible injuries they've seen and sustained. You just had to hope that the rider couldn't hear what they were saying.

Belgian beer you say?
Well James is another year older and at least three years less wise.
I'd heard terrible things about the Mussels with Chips and Mayonnaise, rumours linking them to Nazi gold and the Spanish Flu, but the truth was very different.
It was very tasty and surprisingly filling. The only drawback was that it took about 45mins to slowly work my way through the pot.
The beer was okay, I even tried some Lucifer beer. But nothing to write to Belgium about.
I didn't ask about the Nazi Gold.
