Oh Dog, you Sleuth!

On Christmas eve, Jeremy, Donna and I played a new (?) game called ‘Who, What, Where’ at Your Father’s Place, which is a pretty decent bar. Has anyone been there (besides Kathy)? There’s been an elderly group that shows up and sits at a table in the front and they just drink coffee and do word searches. They’re the coolest. Anyway, in this game, there are three sets of cards: a Who deck (all famous people), a What deck (mainly kooky activities) and a Where deck. You pull randomly and end up with a kind of exquisite corpse/mad libs type sentance, like ‘Big Foot tap-dancing in Paris’ or something. It’s kind of like Pictionary, but less stressfull. Each player gets a sheet of paper to draw their own wacky thing and a scoresheet. After four or five minutes, you guess on another player’s drawing, getting a point for each correctly described drawing. And the artist gets a point if the who, what, where are correct. Here’s a ‘best of’ from some of the early games. Jenny, Katherine and Parrish showed up later to play, but by that point, it seemed to become really, really hard guessing each other’s drawings. It could have been the beer. See if you can guess what these sketches are about. A perfect answer will receive a prize.

I had a really good holiday, but I’m already feeling that post-xmas malaise. Last night I remember how when I was a kid, we opened our presents on xmas morning and then, inevitably had to go to church. And then when we’d get back, the malaise had already kinda set in and it was like, ‘oh yeah… presents… big whoop.’
