Strange Love Triangle

Ephram and Wrinkly Joe finally found out that you were dating both of them at the same time, so they went off alone to determine who would be the one to keep you by his side.
You've been waiting at home for hours, wondering which boy would win your hand. You're about to hear a knock on your door, and when you open it you'll see Ephram there with a bouquet of daiseys in his hand.
"Ephram!", you'll shout. "You defeated Wrinkly Joe and won my hand. Oh what sort of gruesome duel did you two gentleman choose to serve as your battleground?"
Ephram will say, "We decided to settle it with a game of Frisbee golf.''Frisbee golf?", you'll ask. Ephram will then explain to you the object of Frisbee golf, which basically amounts to throwing a Frisbee at a bunch of trees. "But that game's real boring, so we gave up before we finished.'' "You left the game unfinished? Then how did you decide who would be the sole recipient of my affections?''
"Uno," Ephram will say. "But Uno sucks unless there's at least three or four people. So we had to play with my Mom and Wrinkly Joes other girlfriend Leslie.'' "And you defeated them all!" you'll shout. "Naaah," Ephram will grumble. "Couldn't win a hand. Neither could Wrinkly Joe. My Mom took two hands and my Mom's boyfriend Steve sat in on a hand and he took that one. Got sick of it after that.''
"Oh but I'm on pins and needles,' you'll say. 'What sort of challenge did you engage in next?''
"Jenga. Then Clue. Then we put on some Dance Revalution we both krumpt at a steady pace to see who could go the longest without colasping. We tied that one. Then did you ever do Sudoku?'' No!" you'll exclaim. 'But I've heard so many wonderful things about it! Is that how you won my love?" Ephram will say, 'Naaah. I just did a bunch of them while I was waiting for Wrinkly Joe to come up with some more ideas. I got so wrapped up in those number puzzles, I didn't even notice him leave. He left you this note. I'm gonna watch "Deal Or No Deal.'' Ephram will hand you the note from Wrinkly Joe and then he'll go into the living room to watch "Deal Or No Deal." The note will read as follows:

My Dearest,I loved you. But I'm just so tired of playing games. Wrinkly Joe.

As you fold up the letter, you'll feel a little heartbroken that Wrinkly Joe would let you go this way. Then you'll hear Ephram gasp at the TV. A contestant on "Deal Or No Deal" will have just decided to make a telephone call to an accountant. You'll cuddle up on the couch next to Ephram, and you'll be glad he's the one you ended up with. If Wrinkly Joe had won, you might never have been able to find out what plan of action the accountant will recommend. In short, you would be lost.
