NEIGHBORHOOD JENGA

BAR JENGA HAS BEEN PLAYED ONCE A WEEK IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD SINCE THE 2X4’S WERE CUT. THERE ARE USUALLY 7 OR 8 OF US THAT GET TOGETHER. I’D ESTIMATE IT TAKES ABOUT 10 LBS OF ICE FOR THE DRINKS AND A COUPLE OF HOURS FOR THE GAMES.

EVERYBODY LOVES THE GAME BECAUSE THERE ARE NO TEAMS, NO SCORE KEEPING, AND LOT’S OF FRIENDLY ADVICE FOR WHOEVER IS UP.

I WISH THERE WAS A VIDEO OF GRANDMA JACK’S MOVE LAST WEEK, BUT SORRY TO SAY THERE IS ONLY A PICTURE. IT WAS MARY’S TURN FOR WHAT LOOKED LIKE SURE DEFEAT. MARY DECIDED TO TRY WHAT I WOULD CALL A TABLE CLOTH MOVE WHERE SHE REMOVED A SINGLE 2X4 FROM THE MIDDLE OF THE PILE VERY SWIFTLY, HOPING THE LAYERS ABOVE WOULD FALL STRAIGHT DOWN AND REMAIN STANDING.

OUR JAWS WERE ALL OPEN WHEN THE TRICK WORKED!!!

THIS WHAT THE PILE LOOKED LIKE AFTER MARY MADE HER MOVE.  IT’S A MOVE THAT WILL BE TALKED ABOUT FOR YEARS TO COME WHENEVER WE PLAY BAR JENGA.
