Not everyone can be a pool shark. If you want to treat your date to the suave sophistication of a parlor game but the Loker light-board gives you seizures, don't be ashamed. There are options:

Air Hockey: Chaotic, confusing and brutal--perfect for a first date. Grab the puck from the neutral zone and take a ricochet shot from outside.

Yo-yo: Show her the "cat's cradle," then "walk the dog," take her "around the world." Go to "sleep."

Ping-pong: Pool has Fast Eddie Felson; ping-pong has Forrest Gump.

Skee-ball: 3,000 tickets win you a squirt gun, a spider ring, a plastic change purse, a cheap harmonica, a Chinese finger trap and her heart.

Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon: No fair, she's seen "Sleepers."

Mini-golf: Just make sure that you can go par for the course; anything more than 10 over is embarassing

Undergraduate Council: Nominate each other as running mates. Poster heavily.

Froggert: Find three works by Bernard Bailyn in Widener before you get squashed in the moveable stacks.

Foggert: Try to cross the harrowing intersection between the Fogg and the Sackler three times during rush hour.

RSI: See who can type the longest without losing all feeling in both hands.

Boggle: Time's up! Whatcha Got?

Doom: Reduce your date to a bloody mess on the floor.

Hackey Sack: Tres cool about three years ago, it's still good for impressing a bunch of bored teenagers from Newton and Chestnut Hill.
