The Beeatch Of Bar Itch


Heather got us a game for Wii called "Game Party". It's essentially a collection of bar games. You play the games as all the other bar denizens, diverse and dressed pretty much like the village People, watch your game with semi-detached interest. Some games are better than others, we like the darts and indoor shuffleboard the best, and the table hockey is ok too. The skeeball is not so good.

But one thing really bothers us. The people watching the game are always scratching themselves! Some unknown itchy thing has invaded this bar and is driving everyone nuts. Not only is this behavior freaky, but it's pretty distracting too. You are trying to push a shuffleboard puck across the table with care, and some dude in a pimpy-looking leisure suit is going at it at the far end. It makes me itch just watching this freak show.

We "play through it" most of the time, trying to ignore the Bar Itch, but once you realize it's going on, it's always there in your peripheral vision.
