I SWEAR this is not to start somethin' where people make fun
or fuss at me!

We have started this "fun" after work socializing deal this year and this month's "fun" activity is bunco. I have no idea what it is other than it involves dice, and since it's off school property, I'm guessin' adult beverages will be encouraged. Is this something I need to learn to do before I go, will it be fun with co-workers or is it more fun with REAL friends, or should I just skip it and wait to see what next month's activity is?

What I have suggested is laser tag or paint ball, but so far no one likes MY suggestions.

Thank you in advance for your guidance and advice.

1. Skip it, but wait outside and ambush everyone else with a paintball gun as they are leaving!

and this is the first they've tried this since we opened the school six years ago. In October it was pumpkin carving, I swear. I didn't do that either. Ugh...

Edit for spelling... duh

Ask her about it. She plays it on a regular basis. I never heard of bunco before I starting posting in the Lounge..:shrug:

9. I figure she will tell me honestly
'Cause doing things with friends and co-workers are two entirely different deals. :rofl:

Some of these people I like, some I tolerate, most I just ignore or make fun of.

16. It's a lot of fun. Especially the wine drinking
It's very simple. You just roll three dice for ones, twos, threes, etc.

Even Symarip could do it and we all know how stupid he is.
