Anybody got some quail shot?

SCARY

Is it bad when an entire new group of people begin calling you Cheney?  As in Vice President Dick Cheney?  

Such was the case last night.  After the craziness of Laser Tag and Whirly Ball (Ohioans are always looking for new indoor sports seeing as that we are entering the 6 month phenomenon that is Ohio Winter), I joined my coworker and some friends at her house for a little bit of Asshole.  Wow, that sounds really dirty.  It's just a drinking game.

For those who don't know the game, a bunch of people sit in a circle and try to beat the card the previous person just threw.  2s are Wild, doubles must be matched with doubles.  If you don't match, you drink. After the first round, ranks are decided based on who was out (had no cards first).  President. Vice President. 3. 4. and so on until the last ranked. The Asshole.  The great thing about being highly ranked is that you can make rules for everyone underneath you.  Those who do not obey have to drink.  Having played this game before, let's just say... I rule with an iron fist.  ("No 'Drink, Drank, Drunk,' Thumb rule, No Cursing).

Maybe the power went to my head a little and maybe an offhand joke about being the Dick Cheney of Asshole lead to it.  But either way, a nickname was born.  I'm really not sure whether to take this as a compliment to my thorough VP skills or a nod to my power hungry tyrant alter-ego.  I'd like to think the former.
