Quick question for the gaming amongst us.

I'm putting together a couple of chat-breaker exercises for tonight's game night.

The first is a series of questions, Who Among Us. For instance, Who has seen Star Wars more than 5 times? Who has a visible tattoo? Who grew up in your home state? Who is the same zodiac sign as you? Who knows the most common town name in America?

I need funnier/cleverer questions. What do you think?

Before you say it, I know that for some, talking to strangers is unappealing. I'm assuming that the folks who sign up for an event like this are at least a little bit open to the practice.

Next, I'm doing a yes/'know' guessing game where each person gets a sticker with one of a pair and must ask yes/no questions to determine who they are, then find their other half.

Pairs like: bogey/bacall, han solo/leia, leto/jessica, alice/mad hatter, hagrid/buckbeak, sherlock/watson, dracula/van helsing, lady/tramp, starbuck/apollo.

Who else should I use? I'd like to have a bunch so that, as people come in, I can pick ones that are more likely to be identifiable by the demographic that shows up. I even thought to use justin/selena, but assume most of the attendees will be older than that.

stewart/colbert? buffy/angel? neo/trinity? sam/dean? wash/zoe? kermit/miss piggy?

why yes, I am just looking around my living room for ideas. neal caffrey/peter burke? sarah connor/terminator? jack twist/ennis del mar? brad/angelina? katy perry/russell brand? gnomeo/juliet? raylan givens/hat?

Time to shower and dress and go into work. Feh.

I'm totally using raylan givens/hat.

Awesome suggestions. There is only one I don't recognize: jack twist/ennis del mar. I'm off to look that one up.

Thanks Hon!

eta: Okay, this outs me at the one person who has not seen Brokeback Mountain. Now I know!

just once, I would like a really awesome Valentine's. This is not going to be it, but it's better than. a. the one I got broken up with on.
b. the one where crazy stepdad left my mom then sent me a Valentine's e-mail.

raylan givens/hat.

I clearly have a gap in my pop culture knowledge (or hat knowledge), because I have no idea who this is or why he loves his hat.

It's from Justified. Raylan, the character, is known for his fine hat but it's Timothy Olyphant that makes it knee-weakening in the tv series.

I've never heard of the series, either. This is what happens when a person doesn't have cable. Damn it, I lose my pop cultural literacy!

I look forward to buying discounted chocolate on Feb 15. Sad that Sees doesn't have any specialty items for VD (just diff wrapping on the boxes) so no point going there. Day after Easter, OTOH? Marvelous goodies from Sees.

Ooh yes, this. That, and buying discounted socks & tights with hearts on them. (I like hearts, esp. pink ones.) And heart-shaped bakeware.

My local organic grocery had a special on Chocolove bars before the holiday, bless them.

The dark chocolate with cherries and chili is really, really tasty. It's worth saving space in my daily calorie allotment, for sure.

3 lbs down, by the way. I guess the food log really does help.
