Euchre or Sheepshead?

Minister of Silly Walks · 07-24-2008, 12:16 PM

Having grown up in Michigan, I've been playing Euchre for years. However, having many friends from Wisconsin, we often get into the Euchre vs. Sheepshead debate.

Euchre is obviously better.

I've only ever played Euchre. I think it's lots of fun.

[I've heard of Euchre (I think it's more of a Midwest thing cause I've only ever heard of it from a friend from Ohio) but never played it. ~SML]

I haven't played either, actually.

Euchre and Sheepshead are both Midwest things. Euchre's mainly in Michigan and Sheepshead's mainly in Wisconsin. Anywhere else in the Midwest, you'll see both.

No, Euchre is in Ohio. Its pretty sweet.

never heard of sheepshead

Minister of Silly Walks · 07-24-2008, 09:35 PM

Ohio's part of the midwest

ohio and michigan are bitter rivals ~~in football~~ and thus i must contradict you out of spite

Sheepshead. Mostly because I despise how corny bums from rural Wisconsin say "Euchre."

Also, I'm going to have to disagree with ML's statement wholeheartedly. I live in Wisconsin. Corny bums from the country talk about and play Euchre all the time. Only people I know that play Sheepshead came from Oberlin, Ohio.

Oberlin is a sweet campus, BTW. Lots of cool indie kids there.

Minister of Silly Walks · 07-24-2008, 11:34 PM

really? because every person I know from Wisconsin knows how to play Sheepshead. And I know a hell of a lot of people from Wisconsin.

Bomby · 07-24-2008, 11:36 PM

You know people from Southeast Wisconsin. Southeast is a strange place where they call pop "soda" and call water fountains "bubblers."

Actually, minus the whole "bubbler" thing, Southeast is way cooler than the rest of Wisconsin... except for South Central.

Minister of Silly Walks · 07-24-2008, 11:42 PM

yeah, that's true. Most everyone I know is from Milwaukee.

Well, we did have that war over "Who doesn't get Toledo."

Michigan won

As far as Ohio vs. Michigan goes, I had a blast in Cleveland. Other people seem to think that having a blast in Cleveland is impossible. I've never been to anyplace exciting in Michigan.

As much as I love the People's Republic of Madison, WI, I must say that Chicago is the most fun place I've ever been. It's a nice place to visit, but I wouldn't want to live there...

Sorry guys, maybe its because im from the Northeast, but im not so sure ='(

XOXO,
