H-O-R-S-E
5 years, 3 months ago on Wednesday, April 20th, 2005, late in the eveningI was visiting RDR (Rohan, Dimple, and Rahul) the other day and while there Dimple challenged Rahul (no, not Rohan) to a game of H-O-R-S-E. (click the link if you don’t know the game)
Dimple had mentioned bragged about beating Rahul at Horse before, but I don’t think anyone had ever actually witnessed it.
Well, after a little taunting from D, Rahul accepted and the game was officially on!
Rohan & I assumed a comfortable position near the back of the court to watch the competition.
Before I talk about the game and who won, let me add that this might have been the longest game of H-O-R-S-E ever played! It’s a good thing they weren’t playing “H-I-P-P-O-P-O-T-O-M-U-S,” or I might still be there!
Ok, back to the game. Dimple took the early lead, and before you knew it Rahul was a HO.
The game quickly turned to Rahul’s favor, and he soon had Dimple at H-O-R-S, while he was one better at H-O-R. This wasn’t terribly surprising as it turns out Rahul’s “strategy” when playing Horse is to attempt the same shot over and over.
Well, Dimple soon made a shot, Rahul missed and it was all tied up at H-O-R-S. Sudden death. Who would make the next shot? Rohan & I were trembling with anticipation. (i.e. – I was moving rapidly to avoid the mosquitos, and Rohan was in my arms.)
And then it happened, Dimple made another basket. The pressure was all on Rahul. With Rohan & I heckling him, he prepared to attempt the shot…
…and he missed!
Yes, Dimple was the victor. In case we weren’t sure, she did a little victory dance. Though I think her celebrations got a little out of hand when she came up to Rohan and enthusiastically proclaimed, “Who’s your daddy!” (He glanced at Rahul, but I think he could sense that wasn’t the answer his mom was looking for.)
