beyond balderdash


...no, no, no, this is no one we know. i just needed a picture of a muscle builder to help illustrate the gems i saved from the game of beyond balderdash i played with katie, bethie, and chris when we visited portland. for those of you unlucky souls who have never experienced the joys of the game, the object is to fool everyone with the most convincing made-up description or definition of a given name, date, movie title or acronym. here are some of my favorites:
movie "three bites of the apple"-a guy wins a pantload of money at a casino and suddenly women are all over him.
movie "age isn't everything"- a 15 year old boy spends the summer hitting on older girls and driving with a fake id.
movie "age isn't everything"-a 15 year old german shepard defies the odds by coming out of retirement for one more drug bust.
movie "meeting at midnight"- a highschooler with a learning disability secretly meets with his english teacher for some late-night tutoring.
movie "homebodies"-two out-of-work muscle builders get put on house arrest and hilarity ensues.
movie "homebodies"-two obese men who eat potato chips and veg out, drinking and staying home.

i'll leave you to guess who penned each answer, but it may or may not have been:
katie, chris, katie, katie, chris and bethie...in that order

Not only am I among the "unlucky souls who have never experienced the joys of the game," I am now among the unlucky souls who have seen that aweful picture.

I'm pretty sure I didn't understand any reference in this entire post, but I'm also pretty sure that looks like a hunk of chocolate... yummy.

i'll have to bring the joy sometime. rollicking good time for hours. the references? they're just nonsense. and i never thought i'd see the day that anyone responded to that picture, "yummy."

Yes...I think I just lost my appetite for chocolate.

And oh my...that German Shepherd drug bust killed me...and of course the out of work bodybuilders. How I miss my fav-o-rite game!
