Footwear: rats, I'm wearing my reds.
Animals: nope.
No-meat: yesterday, probably Friday, maybe Thursday. (3)
[VEGETARIANIST]
Craft: yep! (9)
Tats/piercings: (6)
Bunnies: sadly, none.

TOTAL: 18, same as yesterday.

Tiebreaker one: ZERO. My mom is a master gardener; the only thing I cultivate is dust bunnies.
Tiebreaker two: ZERO. Who are we kidding, here?

4 points if there is any brown in the color of your footwear: None

2 points for each (non-human) animal that slept on your bed last night: None, we can't afford to care for any.
1 point for each day during the past seven during which you ate no meat. (Fish/seafood don't count as meat): Honestly, I can't remember, but I'm probabably going to say 0, even though I've been sick.
9 points if you worked on a craft/art/music-making project during the past two weeks: If reviewing and editing a podcast count, then 9!

1 point for each tattoo or piercing on your body right now: 2 for earrings, but I'm not wearing any and haven't for a while

1 point for each bunny, whether Mecha-zin or fur-covered variety, you have encountered IRL during the past month: MeCha-specific? Because I went to the young rope rider's baby shower but some of the people there aren't on MetaChat but are on MetaFilter. If MeFi is included, then there were 6 of us? Not including the baby.
TOTAL: 17

Tiebreaker one: Number of plants inside your home and personal office space: Heh. None.

Tiebreaker two: Number of times you exercised -- taking a walk counts! - in past two weeks: I am counting the long transfer between the R and F platforms in Brooklyn, so 3.

1. 0 - I'm wearing my black Toms today
2. 2 - the cutest dog in the world
3. 0, sadly. I don't even like meat that much but I'm reducing carbs, which pretty much leaves meat and vegetables (but I've lost 11 pounds so far!)
4. 0, unless you count kludging up some broken turn signals with JB Weld while 2500 miles from home
5. 2 - two tattoos
6. 10? 15? We have gazillions of wild bunnies living in the holler. I see several daily

TOTAL: 14ish

Tiebreaker one: Oh dear. Inside? None. A couple bamboo stalks. Outdoors is a different matter, I'm a gardening fool
Tiebreaker two: 10! I walk nearly every day with aforementioned awesome dog

+ 4 for brown flip-flops (with black pants; yes, I am going to hell)
+ 2 for ... I mean, the bed belongs to the cat. I just sleep there.
+ 5 for meatless days. The other two were spent with North Carolina relatives, and a carnivorous time was had by all.
+ 9 for working on my mother's necklace (seed beads and freshwater pearls)
+ 2 for one hole in each ear
+ 2 for the young bunnies who are always in my yard, doing their part to rid the world of tender young dandelion leaves.

OK, it is crushonastick in the lead right now with 26, followed closely by notquiremaryann with 24, elsa with 22, and lookoutbelow with 20. Deserving of honorable mentions due to huge tiebreaker points are msali, arseheart, punchtothehead and eideteker.

Unless something changes, crushonastick gets to design our next Points! game.
posted by bearwife 28 September | 17:20
Holy crow, I think I could have won this one.

I get eighteeen points with brown shoes, meatlessness and art. And I've got a lot of tattoos.

But it's late, and I feel like I'm too slow. The crown is yours, crushy.
posted by box 28 September | 18:56
Not over yet, box. If you have more than 8 tattoos, you win. If you have zackly 8 tattoos, then we go to tiebreaker. Then Points! has dramatic tension!
posted by bearwife 28 September | 19:01
Oh, yeah, more than eight. Heck, more than eight from the knees down.

Yay, Points! champ!

I still feel like I stole it, but I've got an idea. Points! game tomorrow morning. Either me or crushy--whoever gets there first. Now there's some dramatic tension.
