I watched the Sox home opener last night at my favorite Bridgeport bar, Bernice & John's Place.

Not a bad game, but that rain delay was a killer. By the time the fifth inning started it was 11 p.m. Thankfully, the bar served free Italian sausage and pasta. But there's only so much processed meat a man can eat to pass the time.

So I turned to an old friend: Erotic Photo Hunt.

You'll find Photo Hunt on those touchscreen trivia machines. The gist of the game is this: You're given two nearly identical photos of a scantily dressed woman (or man--you get to choose), and you have to point out five differences between the photos before time runs out.

For example, the woman in one photo may have a single strap on her bra, but in the next she has two straps. Or a building may have five windows in one photo, but six in the other.

You're thinking, "Yeah, Jonathan. Sounds thrilling. Find the missing bra strap."

Just give it a try. Of all the games on those trivia machines, Photo Hunt seems the one that lasts longest. And the photos can be damn funny, too--pouffy hair, shots on yachts, dated lingerie. Great for rain delays.

Comments on the game: Gauging from the crowd at Bernice & John's, Sox fans are feeling a lot better about Jim Thome than they did yesterday.

Following Thome's two-run wallop, the whole bar cheered, as one would expect. But after that the crowd settled into a kind of warm smugness reserved for champions.

And you could read the Sox fans' minds. Their thinking went like this: Thome's good. Our Sox, they're really good. Early predictions? World Series bound, baby.

love your blog. big fan. you've inspired me to check out some bridgeport bars. go sox!

Shouldn't you be a Brewers' fan

I love that game -except we don't call it "erotic photo hunt." It's "nudie touch." My gal pals and I love to play it in dive bars wherever we may be- the male version, of course. Spot the missing sideburn...hilarious.
