Fred Thompson has never been beaten at Candy Land.

[Am I getting these confused with John Edwards facts again? -Ed.]

Hmmmm. Wiki's first paragraph:

"Candy Land is a simple racing board game. It has become a cultural icon in the U.S., where it is often the first board game played by children because it requires no ability to read and only minimal counting skills."

Ah....

Fred Thompson married Candy Land.

Fred Thompson has never been beaten at anything...except at being a girly-man. Silky Pony has that one on him...

#3 - Posted by: ussjimmycarter on October 6, 2007 10:36 AM

I was a little hesitant to put that one on....

My sister always used to beat me at Candyland. I just recently learned that it was only this way because she'd cheat and put the "Queen Frostine" card on top, and always went first (she's 2 years older, what was I supposed to do? Argue and let her beat me up?).

Looking back, I was an extremely dumb and trusting child.

I would've gone with... "Fred Thompson has never been beaten at Risk, Battleship, Dodgeball, or even Paper, Scissors, Rock"

Fred Thompson has never been beaten at Russian Roullette, even when the round was in the chamber.

-The bullet refused to fire for fear of pissing off Fred.

FrankJ, I would submit that once you and the lovely SarahK have midget money suckers of your own to play Candyland with, you will see the real Fred Fact should have been:

Fred Thompson played Candyland with his kids without cheating to make sure the stupid game actually ended.

No normal adult can play a full game of Candyland with a child without going nuts if you don't cheat. It is pointless, but goes on FOREVER if you play it straight.

I always had the plumly, princess lolly and queen frostine cards palmed along with at least one of each of the swamp colored cards at all times.

I made sure I got the plumly and the girls got out of the swamp and one got the princess and the other the queen.

Candyland is both the only game I have ever let them win and the only game I have ever cheated when playing always in their favor and always to just get it overwith.
