You all may be right. I guess I just assumed I'd be a Sam, what with the bookishness? But yeah, Dean would be the one who'd find himself in a trailer listening to Metallica and drinking PBR while stacking the deck to get out of the beer bitch seat at the card table.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

I think it's a different lake, much less wooded shoreline than DitW lake.

I have to agree; I think shrift's self-description maps pretty well onto Dean.

OK, this might be Sam...

Well, it's a rotating seat. Almost everyone gets stuck in it eventually. Dean would work his way back to President in no time.

I suspected, and now I know, that you're talking about Asshole.

And now, I love you even more.

Because books.

Asshole! Wow, that was a blast from the past.

::sits back to enjoy the conversation, since work has killed brain dead::

Go ahead, talk about Dean some more.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

MAD love for shrift right now.

I obviously missed a huge cultural rite of passage into adulthood in America, for I know not this "Asshole." I've known many in my life, but not a game with that name.

Sail, go here.

My favorites were Mexican (played with dice) and Hands Down, where everyone slammed their hands on the table simultaneously -- one team had to guess where the other was hiding a quarter. I rocked because I wore a lot of rings, so no one ever knew I had it.

I was about to type out the rules of Asshole, but then I remembered that it takes at least 15 minutes to explain in person, so... probably no one cares that much.

Suffice it to say it's a card game, mostly for the purpose of drinking. The beer bitch, or Asshole, is the player who came in last on the previous round and has to fetch drinks, etc. during the break. The President is the winner of the previous round, and can instruct people to drink at will.

It would be tough to play with only two people, but if the Winchesters played, Sam would most likely regret it in the morning.

eta: Or, you know, Amy's got it.
