Zen Yachtzee

... or ... the long Yachtzee game of the soul.


I've been drinking decaf sodas and or water for the last few weeks. It caught up with me today behind door number 2. I had just rolled 1,2,4,5,6 and I needed four 3s to get my bonus; so I just closed my eyes and went for it.

There was aproximately 5 minutes between the time I pushed the button for my final roll and when I registered the result.

3, 3, 3, 3, 3 - YACHTZEE.


I love this game!

So you are too busy in Zenland to take a call from your wife? Now I'll know what you are really doing next time I can't reach you. Busy day--yeah right! :)

So am I correct in saying that decaf sodas makes you "backed up?" Caffeine is a diuretic which would make someone more "regular."
: )

So my question is... can you play outside the bathroom? :)

golden, even when I was caffinated, I've always enjoyed a few minutes of Yachtzee (or newpaper reading) after I finished my business. This was one of those moments.

dust, I've tried challenging T to a round oh yachtzee (we have the cool 45th anniversary edition). Apparently, I'm better at Phone yachtzee than the real thing.

Spanish coffee is strong. I hold my gut every morning at 9:30 am when the quakes start. That would be 2:30 am your time.

THat is classic - pooping and phone yatzee!

Does the phone make beep noises when you play?

Dash said...

nope ... I turned off all of the sounds on the game. It's much more zen-like in absoulte silence.

I'm not sure I wanted to know the part about where you play yachtzee....what language did that word originate in?!
