Shuffleboard at Toons, Lakeview, Chicago

Last night at Toons Dallas and I beat Killian and Danny playing Shuffleboard. I’d never played before. It was fun and luckily for me is a game you don’t really need that much coordination to play.

When I lived in San Diego there was a bar that had ping pong in the middle of it. Ping pong is the most horrible game to have in a bar. Especially for me. I have very little coordination to start out with, let alone after a few drinks, and also have a tendency to not know my strength and forget that you only have to tap a ping pong ball. I think I hit every person in the bar with that ball. I remember one time I went up to the bar to get a drink and accidentally stepped on some guy’s foot. When I apologized he said “that’s ok, you hit me in the head with the ping pong ball earlier.” Incidentally it was in that bar that I first learned to play beer pong from some cute boys visiting from Ireland.
