Move Over Poker!








Contrary to what I might have led you guys to believe, my husband and I have a simply fabulous relationship. Fifty-fifty workload, healthy communication, love and affection, mutual admiration and respec….


Okay he’s gone.


Now what was I saying?


Oh yeah….Jack of Asses….


In this new marriage card game, a husband places down a card of blame for each incident that goes wrong in your life. Each card holds the power to hurl insults and blistering fire sticks (similar to Pokémon only bloodier).


The object of the game is to get the wife to screech and wail until she appears to be a raving lunatic so that social services come to your home to investigate.


In this game, the blame card is always wild.


It can be played for money issues, economic woes, sagging asses and body odor.


If the husband religiously follows the rules of the game, as most do, chances are he will be victorious in placing the wife in a straight jacket for all time and be free to tour the country on the Jack of Asses Circuit.


This game can be played over and over and over and over …..And be suffered enjoyed for years to come.


Disclaimer: If you find yourself losing your sanity too early in the game, chances are you have already lost the round to a real pro and might as well give up.


In these extreme cases, shut your mouth and concede to his skill and go load up your arsenal.


Ages 18 and up


Ammo not included


Warning: small explosive pieces may cause choking…if you’re lucky.

I own this game. I'd like to return for Candyland, please.

Tracy DeLuca on November 6, 2009 at 3:16 PM said...

I would like to exchange this game for a version of Monopoly.... much less dangerous to my sanity. LOL I play this game waaaaaaayyyyy to often.

Jayne Martin on November 6, 2009 at 3:40 PM said...

LMAO! And yet another reason why I'm single.

hahaha...this made me laugh! Love it.

Amo on November 7, 2009 at 7:46 PM said...

I've played this one before. It always ends with cards shoved up my husband's ass and me in tears eating M & Ms.

All the cards up my sleeves are jokers. I tend not to win at these kinds of games.

The Absence of Alternatives on November 9, 2009 at 4:46 PM said...

This post makes me laugh, yet at the same time brings tears to my eyes. I sometimes feel like Blanche at the last scene in Streetcar being taken away. He doesn't understand why I talk to strangers online all the time. Women at that. Kindness is I am looking for. And it seems, sadly, kindness is easier to dole out to strangers than to the person you (are supposed to) love the most...

Oh girl this post couldn't have come in a perfect or is it worse day in my life. Some days this man I think wants me to loose it :).

Thanks so much for stopping by :)

JENIE=) on November 9, 2009 at 9:30 PM said...

THANK YOU for the comment ;)

This is simply awesome! Now, what about some sort of Wild Card, meant to come up infrequently, and usually after you've had several nights in a row of your child going to be wayyyy too late? The Wild Card might show a disheveled housewife and say "This IS the night".

marymac on November 10, 2009 at 8:51 AM said...

I'm in!
You got to know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em...know when to walk away, and know when to run!

Angela on November 11, 2009 at 8:49 PM said...

LOL, too true! I feel the same way!

Tamara on November 13, 2009 at 3:17 AM said...

Oh yeah, I get to play this game too! I think it's a prerequisite for husbands and they were born with the ability to be champs at it. LOL

Thanks for the laugh!!!

Dumping My Purse on November 14, 2009 at 8:44 AM said...

My wife would concur.

scargosun on August 16, 2010 at 8:49 AM said...

I never knew there was an actual name for this game. I just called it "Drive me back to prozac."

Jenn Erickson on August 16, 2010 at 12:31 PM said...

Love the Pokemon reference! My husband and I have been married for 10 years, are working through the challenges that come with being together for over 15 years, having two children, financial troubles, and crappy work environments. My oldest daughter is a Pokemon fanatic, so it was fun to imagine Pikachu hurling sonic insults at Chimchar, while relating to the truth behind your craftily worded euphemisms. I'm loving your blog and your writing. I gotta thank those SITS gals! Jenn

Teisha on August 16, 2010 at 3:37 PM said...

My jack always trumps The Hubs jack, he just hasn't gotten that figured out yet. Happy IN-SITS day. What? I may or may not be a redneck.

Grab An Award-see below

Finally, you do not need to be a recipient of an award to give an award!

Grab An Award – My way of awarding it forward. The only rules are: THERE ARE NO RULES (Only rule is no rules? Rule for rules? Is that a rule? I’m so confused)

And what is nicer than giving an award with no strings attached just because?

So in the spirit of fun blog awarding and ‘cause I think they’re a great way to connect and share the blog love with our awesome fellow bloggers (without the chain letter affect-they give me the willies), I have created The Divine Blogger and Rock Star Blogger Awards to grab-I know, fancy right? -(o.k. so I won't quit my day job)

Grab it and let the lucky recipient (s) know that you have given them a rule-free award and not to be afraid to pick it up on your site. Once they grab it from your site, they are free to pass it along to others (rule-free of course). And anyone can grab it from their sites to pass on as well.

Hope you all enjoy awarding it forward!

Now hurry! Go make room in your closet for all that good karma. And please get rid of those old sweatpants while you're at it! (-:

Thanks so much to Lisa at Grandmasbriefs.com (the Grandma sites got it going on yo) and Robyn at Simply Delightful and Tamara at homespunheartscandlesand Jane @agingmommyblog for this award. You guys are awesome!

Okay, here are my 10 honest things about myself:

1. I am an extremely well balanced individual

2. I am easily distracted

3. I don’t take rules seriously

4. I lied about number one (number 3 made me do it)

5. I have a short attention span

6. I often don’t finish what I sta..
