Please forgive the crosspost from Bitches, but it seems more of us are awake in Natter this morning! ===

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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

leto/jessica

I don't know what that is. Romeo/Juliet? Jay-Z/Beyonce? Lewis/Clark?

TB gets it in one.

I thought to use leto/ganima but thought that was even more obscure.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

Good News - the hour or two of work I thought I needed to do today turned into a 5 minute "fix what someone else goofed up".

Bad News - I'm ready for a nap. F this. I'm calling my doc on Monday.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

leto/jessica

I've read Dune and that took me a second.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Me, too, erin_o.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Heh. I was totally going Jared Leto. Ah, my unrequited love. Oh, no wait, that was fictional and not me. Sorry.

I am cleaning, but have not yet made it to the closet of doom. Actually, the closet itself is fine. It's the shelving unit I put in there that has partially collapsed. It was never storage used well, so now I'm thinking about how better to reuse it, and yet again, I fundamentally believe the solution is to rework every piece of storage in the entire house. I'll let you know how this all works out. I'm sure it will be no problem to achieve before tomorrow.

Oh honey, the mentally unwell people have been in the fanbase since Game Changers was Stucky fanfiction on the internet. The calls have been coming from inside the house the whole time!

If I see a third ad for Big Momma's House in a 24-hour period I'm legally permitted to punch Martin Lawrence in the face, right?
