Because I'm kind-of in a wacky mood and I don't feel like typing a boring re-cap of my vacation, I present: Kevin's Arizona Vacation Over/Under! I'll give a set-up and a number, and you have to guess if the actual number is over or under the given. Don't argue, this is fun dammit!

2)Number of times I went golfing: 1.5

4)Best Wii bowling score by my Grandpa: 200
5)Best Guitar Hero score by my Grandpa: 0.5 songs completed
6)Number of movies watched: 2.5
7)Number of relatives I visited with that do not live in Michigan: 5
8)Combined amount of grapefruit and oranges that I ate (my grandparents have both types of fruit trees growing on their property): 6
9)Number of corny jokes told by my Grandpa: 10

First, one could argue that arguing is fun...and that person was usually you! I don't even know you anymore...
Let's play:
1) Under. Lucky bastard.
2) Let's see...you were there essentially four days, so you had to have played at least once. The weather being nice, I'll say you played twice. Under.
3) Over. Once a day, that makes 5 times.
4) Under. One random +200 score I'm predicting.
5)Grandparents don't have that fast hand-eye coordination anymore. But he can still do a song miserably and complete it- which is what I predict. I'll say under.
6)Over. You enjoyed the beautiful weather, and when you were indoors you played Wii.
7)Under. Grandparents...and one other relative's family outside Michigan.
8)Under. Mmmm grapefruits.
9)Under. He's an Erickson.
10) Under, she's a grandma.
11) Over, because you're like me I think- We take the sun head-on because we ain't no bitch.
12) Logically speaking I want to say under, but there's nothing logical about you and your family, so I'll say under.
Fun post! Welcome home =)!
Let's see...
1) over
2) over... lucky
3) under
4) over
5) under
6) over
7) over
8) under
9) over
10) over
11) under
12) under
"Let's see...you were there essentially four days, so you had to have played at least once. The weather being nice, I'll say you played twice. Under."
Wouldn't you bet the over if he played twice???
yeah, i meant over...
i also meant over on the last word of #12 as well.
over/under...what's the big difference, really? =)
All of Mike's answers are inverted.
The actual answers are....
1) Over. It was usually about 78.
2) Under. Surprsing as it may seem, I only went golfing once. We did a best ball/scramble/whatever round with my Grandpa's usual group (about 20 people all over 70) My group got two under par for 9 holes. (And I got a birdie on a par three on my own)
3)Over. We went swimming about twice a day. So 9 or 10 times.
4) Over. My grandpa got pretty good. His best was 214, but he could consistently get 170.
5) Under. He played about 5 notes, cursed the guitar, and refused to touch it for the rest of the trip.
6) Over. We saw three. Breach, Flyboys, and In Bruges. Breach sucked, Flyboys was Ok, In Bruges was excellent. If can find a theater that will show it, (there are none in Lansing) go watch it.
7)Over. Two Grandparents, an aunt, a cousin, and her four children. (Second cousins? Cousins once removed? I don't know what to call it) Anyway, that makes 8.
8) Under. I ate 4 grapefruit, but I didn't eat a single orange. (Although I did have several glasses of orange juice that I squeezed myself. Does that count?)
9)Over. I wasn't exactly counting, but it I'm sure it was way over.
10) Under. Grandma was surprisingly relaxed about the sunscreen. I'd say only 1 or 2 times at the most.
11) Under. I used sunscreen when we went golfing. That was it.
12) Push. I saw exactly a bajillion. I counted.
