The Born Loser by Art and Chip Sansom for May 10, 2021

He needs a handicap…..

My moron brother-in-law used to always love to play basketball with me when he was 18 and I was 12. He could show me who was boss and he thought he was pretty special.

That and she knows you won’t challenge any of her words.

And winning isn’t everything – it’s the only thing.

Brutus must not be particularly erudite.

She learned her lesson when she lost to Charlie Brown.

I’m willing to wager that you cheat, Ms. Thornapple! :P

Use it in a sentence Gladys. Ok, Um… I went to the store to get some QZMFPPAS but they were all out.

maybe they need a different board game to play.

Word!

My wife would moan and complain if she lost at a board game. She was so annoying about it that I actually played to lose. imagine having a university degree in English and having to lose at Scrabble to a high school drop out. It was humiliating, but at least it kept the peace.

Know your competition!

Simple solution. Don’t play that game with her…..

Leave it to Gladys to rub salt in the wound.

Poor Brutus. Can’t escape it even at home.

Back in the 70s I hung out at a coffee house which stayed open after bar hours. When the crowd thinned out the Scrabble board would appear. There was a Webster’s International Dictionary for reference, and sometimes the sand timer from Boggle would be used to keep the game moving. One-on-one games could get really intense, with plenty of strategic play. Often the winner was not determined until the last tile was placed.

Happy birthday Brutus Thornapple!What’s it been… 56 years?Hang in there! It bound to get worse!

Because he was in a wheelchair, my husband and I played A LOT of board games at home. We would take turns choosing which one. If I wanted a sure win, I’d go with Scrabble, if he did, we played Chess.

Cause he’s the born loser

I wonder how Gladys would do against Wilberforce?

Why does she want to be the one she thinks so very little of?
