Probably because checkers can effectively be played with mismatched pieces.

What would you call that, a checkers set?
Anyways, two missing pieces, one red and one black. They were then replaced for me by a pair of poker chips.
I'm trying to decide whether my family was so destitute that I could get an NES when I was four, and an SNES when I was seven, yet my parents couldn't spring for a new set of checkers pieces. Or if I'm just crazy, and of course there's supposed to be two pieces that are bigger than all of the others and are obviously not really of the same set.
Hmm... Checkers pieces? Checkers discs? Plastic pancakes?
King me.

We always used buttons for the missing pieces. It's checkers, it doesn't matter! We also always used to steal the dice from other games because they always got lost ... but hey, as long as you have at least one pair of dice in the house, you're good.
Also! On a completely unrelated subject, text messages. I have, a few times, when being given advice from a girl friend regarding asking a girl out, been told to "send her a cute text".
So what constitutes a cute text?
My brain is unable to process that particular idea. Also, I have a feeling that "Brad trying to be cute" is as creepy as "Brad trying to be funny" is lame.

Maybe she meant "cute" as in "friendly and low key?" Or maybe you should just text her something about puppies and kittens ... one of those two.
Insert theme music here.

It was too hard to just write "Nintendo" and "Super Nintendo"?

That says more about the people you know than about the consoles themselves...

In that case, you may overestimate how many of the "people you know" know those abbreviations. *NM*

The slapping you part was joking, the cute text being a pussy move is not. *NM*

It isn't rhetoric, it's the truth. A cute text message is pussy bullshit.
