Battle of the Sexes

Saturday night a few of my friends got together at D. And B.'s house to hang out and play parlor games. We started off the night with a couple of rousing hands of poker and followed it up with a very fun (and dare i say, UNFAIR) game of Battle of the Sexes. Have you ever played it before? The boys ask the girls "male trivia" questions, and the girls ask the boys "female trivia" questions...gender stereotypes at their finest. And let's just be honest,the girls had it a LOT harder than the boys. one of the questions we had to ask the boys was "What is the main ingredient in guacamole?" I'm not sure why this is considered a girly question but who, male or female, wouldn't know the answer? Us girls were asked questions like "What is the length of board called that you attach to the bottom of a wall?" Baseboard, right? WRONG. Skirting board...totally lame.

Throughout the duration of the evening, I did learn a few interesting tid-bits that i thought i should share.

1. When D. and B's fountain runs out of water, it makes this horrible grinding noise. For 15 minutes we were cursing the neighbors thinking that they were the ones behind the commotion. whoops!

2. I learned the male importance of an elongated toilet bowl...fascinating

3. The Hot Pocket has an uncanny ability to throw down when it comes to trivia about the movie "Ghost." Battle of the Sexes had A LOT of "Ghost" trivia for us to ask the boys. I'm a girl and i've never seen "Ghost" but you know, whatever. When we asked the boys what the theme song from "Ghost" was, Pocket broke into song at the last possible second. When we had to ask the occupation of Patrick Swayze's character, he shouted investment banker! And most impressively, when asked to finish a quote, he kicked it's trash and took names.

Word of advice to all my lady friends, If you pride yourself for always being right and knowing all of the answers, DO NOT PLAY THIS GAME. The boys beat us miserably. And never have i seen 3 couples so close to divorce or breaking up. If you must play this game, just be sure your husband isn't a "Ghost" freak like mine. In all my years of knowing him, never did i realize what a girl he is. Who'd a thunk?!
