Safe and Sound with Laughter

Well, we got here. Up North. In the frozen tundra. Which makes even more sense as it's literally been freezing rain and sleeting since we passed through Saranac Lake yesterday. Sliding in to Norfolk around 4:30pm we made it just in the nick of time as a state of emergency was issued at 5:00pm banning all unnecessary travel. With an inch of ice/sleet/snow on the ground when we got here, I'd say it was for the best.

Good thing I didn't want to go anywhere.

Most everything was closed today, including the local churches. It's probably a good thing as the ice just kept coming today. Last night had the hubbs and I up a couple times listening to it pounding away at the roof. It was surprising to wake up and still have power. Thankfully it never went out. 

The icy roads and travel ban didn't stop Ryan's sister and her boyfriend for making the trip out to spend time together. We finally got to give her her birthday gift (from October) and then we all enjoyed it together.

This game is seriously funny. About half way through I started writing down some of the things that were said. Here's some highlights:

Name 3 Halloween costumes:
"Batman, Superman, Spongebob" - Tyler (Amber's boyfriend)

Name 3 Indian tribes:
"Fukowee" - Craig (my father-in-law) As in "where the fuck are we?"

Name 3 feathered animals:
"Bird, emu, ostrich..." - Me
"Chicken?" - Ryan
"er...bird...blue bird!" - Me
"You couldn't think of more common birds? Emu, really?" - Ryan

Name 3 Chicago songs:
After Amber and Tyler couldn't name one, we all broke into song singing "Saturday in the Park."

Name 3 reasons to call into work:
"Got your period." - Said by yours truly - not my finest moment

Name 3 medical procedures:
"Addadicktomy" - Craig (say it slow and break it down)

Name 3 prime numbers:
"1, 2, 3." - Me
"2, 3, 5. Did you just say one?!" - Ryan
As a side note, we're both math majors, and the number one is neither prime nor composite by definition.

Name 3 brands of toilet paper:
"What's that horrible one? Scott? It's like sandpaper on your vagina!" - Amber (Ryan's sister)

Highlights also included when I said "sex and masturbation" for stress relievers and "condoms" for things you would find in a high school locker. My mother would be proud. Just showed my city girl roots apparently.

Have you played this game? Was it as enjoyable for you and your friends as it was for us? Do you remember any particularly funny answers?
