Bottom of the Hill - 1233 17th
Timmy Dunn's Cat
|
Note: this is a repeat of the activity we did at Ha Ra's back in June. It turned out to be one of GODDAMN JAMIE's favorite gatherings, and since it will also be his birthday I thought we'd oblige with another round. So bring along balloons and party hats and strange presents for Jamie so we can loosen him up for his inevitable birthday spankings. And buy him a drink - he sort of deserves it. Here's the verbatim description from last time. I'm too hung over to re-write it: TIMMY DUNN'S CAT - Ted Bundy What do these names have in common? Not much, except that they're all valid entries for a stupid game that some friends and my sister and I made up years ago while sitting around a kitchen table at a slow-moving birthday party. It's a bastard cross between 'Password' and 'Charades', where everyone writes semi-famous names on scraps of paper, and then one person has to describe the entry while their team members try to guess who the hell they're talking about. But you can't say the name directly, which is where the fun begins. Tim Dunn was one of my earliest childhood friends, and has no relation to this game whatsoever except that one of the entries in the very first game was the name of a cat he once described in a joke: E-Timmy, I-Timmy, O-Timmy, Rum-Rum, For some reason that broke up the group, and so we decided to name the game in his honor. Other than that, it's all pure nonsense, which is what these games tend to devolve into as the evening wears on. Start thinking up names of has-been celebrities or minor historical figures, and bring along paper and good markers so we can read your handwriting under dim bar conditions.
