The Things You Say…
A couple weeks ago, we had eight people over for dinner and games. Joe had been eager to get a bunch of “twisted” people together to play this game he got for Christmas called “Things”, because the game, according to Joe, is so much more fun when people are dirty-minded about it. And, okay, I can’t really argue with that, because I probably burned 500 calories from laughing my butt off that night.
So here’s the basic premise of the game. There’s a bunch of cards that each have a prompt on them that starts with the word things, and everyone is given strips of paper — as many as there are people playing, so each of us had ten strips — to write their answers on. The cards said stuff like, “Things you wouldn’t do in a graveyard,” or, “Things to make someone do under hypnosis.” One person reads off a card, and then everyone, including the reader, writes an answer to the prompt. The reader then collects all the answers, reads them aloud, and people have to guess who wrote which answer. Simple, varied, and ridiculously hilarious.
But this time, what was even more hilarious than the answers people wrote (which were insanely hilarious), was the stuff that was said during the guessing rounds. I decided to jot down a few of these things while I kept score, because I just KNEW it would make a fun blog post. So, without further ado, I give you: “Things people say while playing the game of Things…” Keep in mind that it may have been funnier after hearing all the written phrases, but I didn’t write those down, so hopefully the out-of-context quotes that follow will still make you giggle.
(Disclaimer: These are all direct quotes, so there is a little bit of language. Sorry!)

Everyone: “Joey One-Cheek!”

Chris: I’m…not, actually.

Find me elsewhere on the Interwebs: As promised, I’ve posted some photos of Cari‘s wedding jewelry! But I figured, since it has to do with beads, I might as well revive my other website and debut the photos there. So head on over and check it out!
I have seen that game in the store and imagined it would be a lot of fun to play. I may have to invest in it for gatherings this summer.
Do it!! It is seriously an endless supply of fun, and you can tailor it for less-dirty-minded people, or go all out and be GROSS. Haha…
The real question is… what happens when you mix such less-dirty-minded people with a group such as ours?
You end the game with less friends than when you started. Which could save you money around Christmastime…hmm…
I still love how you especially bear the brunt of all the jokes… even when we’re NOT playing the game!
Ha! That sounds hilarious. There is an actual game called “Dirty Minds” that is quite fun the first time.
Oh yeah, I’ve played that one too!
YES! Writing things down is key
This is how The Shiz My BF Says started… people say the funniest things, if you can just get it written down!
Exaaaactly! It was so serendipitous, because I was writing down someone’s score right as someone said something hilarious, and I was just like, “Oh, I’m SO writing that down.” On a side note, I’m hoping that once I get my fancy Android phone next month, I’ll be able to find a basic notebook app where I can “jot” stuff down, because a lot of times, I just don’t have anything handy to keep track of it!
We played that game on New Years Eve, but we weren’t nearly as mischievous as you were … likely because we kept getting distracted by food. =)
LOL okay I’m KIND of jealous I wasn’t there…
I LOVE board games!!
the last one was laugh out loud funny. SO curious as to what was originally said!
The question was “Things that need to be cleaned”.
My answer was: “The green vagina of a hooker… and it’s not St. Patrick’s Day!”
It took a few rounds until someone finally guessed that the “green vagina” answer was mine
Correction… it was: “Things that should stay closed”
And my answer was: “The legs of a hooker with a green vagina… and it’s not St. Patrick’s Day!”
yeah, i’ve played that game and it IS hilarious. very very hilarious.
