What are Kings and Asshole?

To be honest, I can't remember how to play either game (with good reason). They're both card games. I think Kings is the one where you designate a different activity to each card and Asshole is similar, but I really have no recollection of the specifics. I think in Kings every time someone draws a King, you have to pour some of what you're drinking into a communal cup and the person that draws the last King has to drink whatever's in the cup. Gross? Yes.

Asshole is one of those games that keeps going and going and going and every time you're done with a round, an order is established, so you end up with a President and a Vice President that can make rules arbitrarily.

Really, that's all I remember. I played thousands of games in college, but don't remember how they work. Beer pong and flip cup are the two I remember how to play, mainly because they really don't require much effort or rules.

I think we are going to stay home this year...i am not really up for a bar or anything crazy...maybe go out for dinner and just go home and crash...Brians uncle is having a party and we might go there for a bit...
I have been asleep before 12 for the last three years!

i always hated beer pong, i was sooo good some nights, but soo bad most nights. i love flip cup. it definitely gets you drunk a lot quicker and it's so fun if you have a larger team. gosh i miss college.

if you have a vodka bottle, what about my all time favorite game....

I am so glad I stumbled on this post!! I was kind of annoyed I wasn't going out or doing anything for NYE, but now I'm over it. My boyfriend is in a moto cross race the next day and I am going to the race with him, and he wants to go to bed early!!

we were thinking of having some other people who don't want to go out over for a get together...

well...uh...you can be like BF and I. We're probably going to be renting and watching the Star wars movies.

Seriously, I don't think I've ever been out at midnight on NYE, at least not as an adult. My BF and I are going to be total goofballs and relax like we do every year. One year we were seriously sleeping until 11:30 PM, got up to do the NYE kiss, and went back to bed until 3 AM at which point I made a round of latkes! LA is full of crazy drunk drivers as it is, but it just gets so much worse on NYE.

We like to stay home. Sometimes we'll have a small group of friends over (like 4 max.) and do some crazy food thing that we wouldn't normally do- ie: fondue or Korean grill or roll sushi togeather. It has always turned out really fun.

Going out for NYE (with the exception of the year we were in Vegas) has always turned out to be lame. We haven't gone out in years.

I m going to stay home this year and kiss my own dog, Chanel, a Happy New Year. I have bad vertigo. Cannot do much.

This post is making me feel so much better. We just got home from vacation & holiday hoopla, so we are SO happy that we are home. We ordered pizza, are playing the PS2 games we got for Christmas & watching the DVDs we got as gifts & haven't gotten to watch yet - Star Wars, Airplane, and I'm about to put in Cinderella because DH is sleeping (10:50). I have an alarm set before midnight in case i bite it too - I already took a "nap" around 8:30. Man we are lame!

Kings, if it is the same one, is a game where if you get the king you have to drink, depending on the version it can be a mixture of what everyone else is drinking and poured into a cup, gross, or you have to drink for a certian amount of time...something to that effect. I have seen it played a few different ways.

Asshole is a card game too, here is a link on how to play.

I too am staying home. I am not into the whole nye thing. I used to bartend so I have had my fill. Me the pooch and the 2 kittys are enjoying a law and order marathon. It is inevitable that we will beging getting phone calls for rides home. I have placed a warning that no one, and I mean no one who I feel will throw up gets into my new car, so they better call a cab or I will drive their car and let them puke in their own car and clean it up in the morning. YUCK!! Well my comercial is over, back to my marathon. Have a great NYE everyone.
