1 May 2013: My, those pegs are big !

We finally came out of late winter hibernation for a predictably zany evening of pegging at Mouffie's clubhouse.

The Townie had in the past spoken of possessing an enormous board.  As it turns out, this wasn't just a shaggy dog story.  He and the Pink Queen brought it and its enormous pegs -- they aren't steel, but at this size, who cares ?

Because we had seven attendees, Crazy Joe wasn't able to indulge his craving for an eight-player game.  So there was an every-dude/tte-for-himself game that required the use of three, count 'em, three boards.  Despite his occasional directional confusion, the Townie managed to win that game, though Crazy Joe, the Baltic Princess, and the Gabridoodle were close behind.  Incredibly, nobody was skunked.

In attendance were:

     the Gabridoodle
     Anne de la Mouffette
     the Baltic Princess
     Crazy Joe
     la Marmotte
     the Pink Queen
          and her consort the Townie

Oliver, the CLUB mascot, made a brief appearance.  The CLUB commander remarked on his poorly brushed state.
