water spoons

i had the pleasure, or rather pain, of playing a game i wasnt familiar with - water spoons. this game could also be referred to as 'how much pain you can be in from drinking water or from trying to not pee in your pants' anyways, its just a variation of the card game, spoons, except that if you dont get a spoon - you have to drink water...lots of it.

we started the game off with small cups but that just wasnt having a quick enough effect and quickly upgraded to those huge cups you get at football games when you pay for a four dollar coke. i dont think anyone anticipated the game being so entertaining. it seemed like bryan was drinking water every round, but blamed it on his unfortunate seat. eileen played 3 or 4 rounds before actually remembering how to play and has evidently done that before? kelly and eileen went thru physical pain just drinking the water...eileen looked miserable as she took tiny sips and kel complained of shoulder pain and collarbone cramping. needless to say, those three quit early. so that left christian, rielly, ben, ryan, and myself. christian kinda broke the table during a fight for a spoon which she disappointedly lost. we got to the point where no spoons were left so then we just kept drinking water and basically waited till someone burst...literally. rielly kept talking about kidney stones and ben just pretended to be drinking the water but was really just holding an empty cup up to his mouth. so then we just waited...and waited..and i was evidently the only one about to lose it so i finally gave up and went. then everyone just went home so there wasnt really a winner. so basically we all drank an excessive for no good reason.

i think i went to the bathroom about 7 times before i even got into bed an hour later. poor christian woke up in the middle of the nite about that many times. the game seemed so fun while we were playing...but i think we all decided that that would be our first and last time to play...
