NEW DOMINION— A local guy, who is apparently normal in most other ways, is like really into cribbage. Like, really, really into cribbage.
Cribbage — known as “crib” to aficionados and those over the age of 60 — is a game famous for its obscure rules, double-entendres, and being a game exclusively for old people.
Except, of course, for this one guy.
Troy Lewis, 28, is somehow unembarrassed about knowing the rules of the game, and reportedly has as many as three crib boards in his possession.
Lewis’ efforts to spread his enthusiasm for the card game among his friends has not met with success.
“I don’t know why Troy thinks we want to learn this game of his anyway. It’s just not going to happen until we’re all sitting in a nursing home,” says an anonymous friend of Lewis.
“He keeps bringing it up any time we hang out, and it’s just getting awkward. He even had this way to play for money, which is somehow even more embarrassing.”
Lewis declined comment, but did offer to let us cut (the deck of cards, presumably) for crib.
