Dear Rachel McAdams: Letter Forty Nine

Monday April 27, 2009

Dear Rachel,

On your website www.greenissexy.org you have a section called "tips for guys" in which you recommend an "energy-less date". Basically, you suggest an idea for a date which is having a raw, candle lit dinner followed by playing some sort of game. Now, putting aside the obvious difficulty of finding a girl that is interested in eating a bunch of food that he didn't cook (and no one else did either), I have trouble understanding how the average guy is supposed to get excited about playing War, Apples-to-Apples or Charades. Maybe Josh Lucas would be into that. I sure wouldn't.

Maybe you've heard of a little game called Settlers of Catan? What about Pandemic (a game that I think everyone should play given the recent swine flu talk)? If you're not up to th intellectual challenge of one of these new-fangled, amazing, award-winning board games, why not stick with something non-shitty like chess?

Seriously, come over to my house and play some of our board and card games. Next time you play Monopoly or Gin Rummy it will feel like the intellectual equivalent of hitting yourself in the head repeatedly.

Sincerely,

Nick Punto
