Close to Home by John McPherson for December 09, 2020

Julie you bad girl. You sent poor little Bleeb flying across the room.

Julie’s a scatterbrain.

Wow major Karen episode there

She only lost because the game was rigged.

She’ll flip the table next.

Sometimes, technically correct, is still wrong.

A paradigm for US society in Century XXI.

That’s the Polish Gambit in chess

“I’m so sorry! I couldn’t help it! I didn’t intend to freak out and start flinging everything like a wild-woman! But, there was this weird yellow alien bug looking thing on the box, and I just freaked out! Jeff, that thing landed over there somewhere, could you squash that thing, please!? There… now we can set the game back up and continue. Umm, where’d Jeff go? Where’s that weird yellow bug? Bob, you were just in the kitchen… did you see Jeff?”

“Yes, a weird yellow bug had him pinned down and was kicking him in the head. Then that bug just drug him off by the leg. I figured I didn’t want none o’that, so I stayed out of it. So… anybody want a sammich?!

Yeah. That’s Monopoly

If the letter cube heads your way you’d better duck! That thing could be lethal!

Bleeb would have had a more enjoyable evening if he had been under the table where he normally hangs out.

She’s much too mature for this game.

If I can’t win, nobody else will either! I’ve seen that person lots of times.

I hope bleeb doesn’t get hurt.

Bleeb is flying away
