1. Any household pseudo-sport played using equipment already in place in the home. 'The game' will refer to whichever particular event might be in contemporary ascendency, but will probably refer to one of the below:
1a) The Egg Game. Every time an egg is cooked, it is thrown between two participants until ultimately dropped by one, who is a 'dropper' (see 'dropper'). In the event that both parties agree that an egg's performance has been remarkable, it can bee retired.
1b) The spear game. A curtain rail colsely resembling a spear is thrown at a wall in an attempt to make as large an indentation as possible. There is, as yet, no way of confirming a winner.
1c) Stupid game in the kitchen. A game of many rounds, most of which involve the attempt to throw an oversized tennis ball into various target areas (e.g. behind the fridge, the bin, the oven, the recycling box etc.). Points are awarded per round victory on an accumulative basis.
Joe would have liked to have done some work, but his morning was occupied almost entirely by a tiring round of the game, after which a nap, wank, and brief read about dragons was all he could muster.
