The games we play...

If you're hoping for a blog about the twisted sex games that Phoenix and I play, then you are totally in the right place...No, wait...That came out wrong...If you're hoping for a blog about the twisted sex games that Phoenix and I play, then you are in the wrong place! I charge for those...JUST KIDDING! We don't play those sorts of games...Let's move on, shall we? The games we play are, well...interesting to say the least.


I'm all for playing games of all sorts. One of my favorite games to play is the "This or That" game that I play with an old high school friend. We text each other random things and make the other choose one or the other...I know, it sounds boring, but it's not because we choose two really painful, horrible things...For instance, "Would you rather be covered in honey and eaten to death by ants or be drawn and quartered?" (That's just an example...I doubt we've actually used that one...Wait a second, I should write this down for future use...) Another example would be, "Would you rather eat twenty pounds of watermelon or drink a gallon of melted butter?" (Can you imagine how full you'd be from all that watermelon? Or the butter? Eww...I'm making myself sick.) Or even, "Would you rather be smashed between two Mack trucks or fall off a thirty story building and land on a glass awning?" (OUCH to both!) So, that's our game. It passes the time...When I worked at Pizza Hut, it totally made the long afternoons go by quicker. But the games Phoenix creates are nothing like this...


Phoenix likes to turn everything into a game and I'm okay with that. I'm competitive (Although, I've learned to let her win because it gets mighty cold when she loses, if you know what I mean...) and I just love playing games. One of the random games we played was a fucked up version of those "Humdingers" from Cranium. You know, you have to hum part of a song and get the other person to guess it. We had played Cranium at Family Game Night and we were not so good at these, so she wanted to practice. The game started before bed one night and I believe we spent the next two or so hours in bed humming every song we've ever heard. I was nice though and didn't bust out the big guns (you know, all the show-tunes I know...). In the end, I think we called it a tie because she wanted to keep going until she won. It was just plain crazy. This game was harder than her version of Name that Tune, which we play in the car with our iPod that has both of our music on it. (I know all my songs...It's her songs that throw me, but I'm getting better...)


The other game she likes playing is something she once saw on Who's Line is it Anyway? It's the "turn everything into a question" game. I HATE this game. Do you have any idea how hard it is to carry on a conversation using only questions??? We once played this game for over an hour. This morning we had it going on for about thirty minutes, but then she had to get ready for work, so it ended...I'm telling you...Do not try this at home! No one should talk in only questions. And she's so mean...She's always like, "Are you sure that was a question?" She tries to throw in all these yes or no questions, which of course makes it harder.


My question is this: Do other people do this? She even makes me guess movies when I'm in the kitchen cooking. She'll be all, "Don't look! And tell me what this movie is." So, from a clip of dialogue, I'm supposed to guess a movie...I'm pretty good at this too, as long as it's something I've seen before. I'm just not sure what's weirder though...That she wants to play these game...Or that I play them with her...
