scattergories brings out the best in people


who knew that the board game scattergories could produce such a good time. well, this was something thing that i figured out last night while team tlh was on our team overnight to liz's lake house on keowee. normally i dread these types of team events, but for some reason i knew this one was going to be eventful. needless to say, dinner and the shenanigans before the game were fun, but when scattergories got into full swing, the laughter started to roll in like a tidal wave. answer after answer from certain individuals were some of the most ridiculous things that I have ever heard. let me just give you a few of my favorite answers. for the letter A, liz's answer for color was "orangoutang orange". let's dissect this: one "orangoutang orange" is not even close to a real color, and two, its spelled with a O not an A. sweet sweet liz. she thought we were all laughing at her because it was a ridiculous color. she soon figured out how to spell it. liz struck again with the letter H, saying the "heltics" were a professional sports team. kelly chimed in during the letter P, using "pink ponies" as her answer for things you find in a souvenir shop. she was so embarrassed by her own answer that she couldn't bring herself to say it. i don't think i've ever seen her laugh so hard. so all in all, i think i have a new favorite board game. and a new favorite color of course.
