Backgammon is such a stupid game. It has you believe that it is a game of skill and strategy but in reality it is a game of luck. It makes you think that you have to move this one before that one and leave this one instead of that one, but in reality all you have to do is be able to count. It makes you think that if you try really hard you can master it. It makes you think that with a lot of hard work you will triumph over anything. Don't believe the hype. Backgammon is the devil and the devil is a liar.

            Sure, you have to think a little bit. Sure, you have to know the rules. Sure, you have to a plan. Sure, you have to adjust the plan according to what happens which results in a strategy. But you and I and it both know that the name of the game is luck. If you don't flick the wrist the right way or play the angle correctly or spin the cup perfectly or at the very least get away with cheating, then you are fucked. The playing field ain't level baby. Don't let anybody tell you it is because they is a liar.

            And I'm not talking about dice and columns and boards and tokens or whatever the hell those little checkers are called. I am talking about your life and my life and it. Don't hype the belief. It is a liar.
