My husband wants to play hungry hippos

[Mogs]

My husband has been nagging me to set up a meet for Hungry Hippo Championships.

Is anyone in the Dulwich Area interested in giving him a game.

[Ladygooner]

No idea what this is - give me a clue? (sounds like some kind of surburban sex game!)

[Keef]

Not quite Ladygooner :-S

[Brendan]

I think it is Ladygooner. Or a code for some or other depraved activity.

Or multicoloured plastic hippos lying on their bellies and furiously munching small white pill shaped things. (which may or may not be significant)

[*Bob*]

It seems innocent enough.

But when the game is done.. it's all car-keys-in-a-hat and glory-holes. Mark my words.

As Keef kindly linked to the game of Hungry Hippos. Hungry Hippos

Also I can assure you my husband is only interested in a game as it's his favorite game from when he was a kid. And believes he can beat anyone who dares to challenge him

I have a similar ego related to table football - I'm unstoppable!

He says he isn't,

Dear Bob,

What in the name of God and all of his saints and angels is "A glory hole?"

If it is filth and deprivation depravity - I really will have to go and lie down. I have only recently recovered from finding out about "dogging" on College Road!

[*Bob*]

I believe it's a type of mine.

In the western United States during the Gold Rush days, independent miners who did not have the finances to dig a conventional mine shaft would dig a shaft straight down to try to find a gold seam. These perpendicular shafts became known as "glory holes".

Either that or it's something to do with poking your bell-end through a hole in the wall.

Hungry Hippos sounds fun! I think I played it a couple of times when I was young :-S? Its funny but these games can get really competitive!

[Keef]

I just want to know how anyone can claim to be skilled at Hungry Hippos... Surely you press the lever as quick as possible, and hope that the balls happen to have roled in the direction of your hippo :-S

I think your husband should stop being so infantile and get a life. Leave toy games to the kids. Reminds me of Competitive Dad from the Fast Show but at least he played proper games.

[SeanMacGabhann]

Jah, if you stopped all the people on here who played games from coming to the next drink up it would be you and.....

[Jah Lush]

But Hungry Hippos Sean? Come on. I'll bring Snakes & Ladders shall I?>:D

[SeanMacGabhann]

well there is that, yes... ;-)

What can I do? If it's his favorite game, all I can think to do is call out to any other fans to give him a game.

Aaah! You're a good and dutiful wife Mrs Mogs. Your husband is lucky to have you.(tu)

[Annasfield]

Pass the Pigs was (still is?) great!
