geebsAh, just got into work a few minutes ago on this cold, dreary day. Luckily, although today was my birthday, the celebrating was done yesterday, where the weather wasn't so bad. So, yesterday, woke up, went to church, and got back a few hours before the festivities were set to begin. The roomie cooked a bunch of burgers and sausages. Actually, since I'm a big burger fan, he made modified homemade coronary bypasses. A burger with a big beef patty, two types of cheese, a fried egg, bacon, slice of pepperoni, and mayo. Sounds gross, but so good! There was supposed to be sausage on that as well, but everyone scarfed up the sausages. And who is everyone? You know, the usual suspects, as well as some peeps from the asian crew, and the poker crew. Alas, some could not make it. But yeah, lots of food was had, so between this and the Fires of Brazil trip, it was a good eating weekend.
Tried that Time's up game. Its pretty neat!![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
phatjoe can prolly correct me if I have the rules wrong, but basically the game is this: you have a bunch of cards with names of famous peeps on it. And the purpose of each round (of which there are three) is for you and your partner to get as many cards as you can under the time limit. Beforehand, everyone gets five cards, and they choose to discard two. I'm not sure what the best strategy for which ones to get rid of. But everyone puts the remaining cards in the pile to make the deck for the game. In the first round, you csn't pass a card, but you can do anything, save saying the actual name on the card (or spelling it out) to get your partner to figure it out, and you see how many cards you can get within the time limit. Then after all of the cards are won, the number of cards each group gets is recorded and the cards are put back together into a deck. The second round, you are limited to a one word clue, but you can also hum tunes and gesture. The third, no words at all, only gesturing and humming. Of course, clues peeps used in the first round influence the kinda clues used in the previous rounds. Like say, Charles Lindburgh was one of the answers. And the first round people give clues about his flying accomplishments. The next two rounds, if you and your partner remember he was the only pilot in the deck, one can just say pilot, or plane for their one word, and on the third round making flying gestures of plane sounds. It was fun. I think my insane memory helps. Because once you know everyone in the deck, the clues become easier to figure out.
Anyways, like I said, yesterday was good- good food, good folks, lots of fun. Combined with the carnivorousness and stripper-ogling of Saturday, it was an awesome weekend. The only thing missing was a spot of violence. You know, a bar brawl, or getting to shoot up shit. Then it would've been the best weekend ever!
