Hep, I need a fun game for a meeting

[Susan Otcenas]

Austin Powers' movies
Yeah, baby, yeah
It's Dr. Evil.)

Or my favorite: "Mini-Me....stop humping the laaayzer."

Might not meet your no-sexual-innuendo requirement though....

[SadieKate]

Susan, that's hilarious, but I think it will have to reside on the same list with History of the World's "It's good to do the Queen."

Bubba just got home and the quotes are rolling! I can't type fast enough.

[SadieKate]

Just thought I'd share the collection so far. Nobody said I had a totally lame-O idea so I'm going with it. Prizes will be Jelly Belly stuff and Scharffen Berger chocolate to cement in the newbies heads that I am the sole person out in Kahlifornia and don't be looking for me in the main Scottsdale office.

Obviously, I'm going to have to weed out a few. I think I need 12 pairings to have a few extra. (I think I also need to verify a few that were written down from memory).

1)The Princess Bride
It’s inconceivable.
As you wish.
Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die.
You rush a miracle man, you get rotten miracles.
Rodents Of Unusual Size? I don't think they exist.

2) Blazing Saddles
Badges? We don't need no stinking badges.
Mongo only pawn... in game of life.
Telegram for Mongo!
If you shoot him, you’ll make him mad.
Mongo like Sheriff Bart.

3) Kermit the Frog
It's Not Easy Bein Green
Someday we'll find it, that rainbow connection, the lovers the dreamers and me.
Time's fun when you're having flies.

4) Austin Powers’ movies
Yeah, baby, yeah
It's Dr. Evil.

5) History of the World, Part II
It’s good to be the King
It’s Count de Monnaie (Count-da-Money)
It’s the Inquisition, what a show. It’s the Inquisition, here we go.
Piss Boy, Oh Piss Boy

6) Dirty Harry
I know what you're thinking. "Did he fire six shots or only five?"
You've got to ask yourself a question: Do I feel lucky? Well, do ya, punk?

7) Star Wars
Do, or do not. There is no try.
Hokey religions and ancient weapons are no match for a good blaster at your side, kid.
Fear is the path to the Dark Side.

8) Mae West
Come up and see me sometime, big boy
When I'm good, I'm very good. But when I'm bad I'm better.

9) Bogie movies
You know how to whistle, don't you, Steve? You just put your lips together and blow.
Here's looking at you, kid.
Of all the gin joints in all the towns in all the world, she walks into mine.
Round up the usual suspects.

10) Forest Gump
Mama always said life was like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're gonna get.
When I was in China on the All-American Ping Pong team, I just loved playing ping-pong with my Flexolite ping pong paddle.

11) The Godfather
I'm going to make him an offer he can't refuse.
Keep your friends close, but your enemies closer.

12) The Terminator
I'll be back.
Hasta la vista, baby.

13) The Wizard of Oz
Toto, I've got a feeling we're not in Kansas anymore.
There's no place like home.
I'll get you, my pretty, and your little dog, too!

Ding Dong! The Witch is dead. Which old Witch? The Wicked Witch! Ding Dong! The Wicked Witch is dead.

We're off to see the Wizard, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz.
You'll find he is a whiz of a Wiz! If ever a Wiz! there was.

We represent the Lullaby League, The Lullaby League, The Lullaby League

14) Willy Wonka
I’ve got a golden ticket.
It happens every time, they all become blueberries.
OOMPA LOOMPA DOOMPADEE DOO / I'VE GOT A PERFECT PUZZLE FOR YOU

15) Peter Pan


16) The Pirates of the Caribbean
They're more like guidelines, anyway.

17) Top Gun
Son, your ego is writing checks your body can’t cash.
I feel the need - the need for speed!

18) Cool Hand Luke
What we've got here is failure to communicate.


19) James Bond movies
A martini. Shaken, not stirred.
My name is ***** Galore.

20) Young Frankenstein
No, it's pronounced "Fronkensteen."
No, it's pronounced "eye-gor."
Do you mean to tell me that I put an abnormal brain into an 8 foot tall, 300 pound, GORILLA?!!!

2) Blazing Saddles

If you shoot him, you’ll make him mad.

My favorite quote from Blazing Saddles:
"Oh, how owdinawee" - Lili Von Shtupp

[wabisabi]

Hmm, not to be picky, by #9, "....gin joint" was Ingrid Bergman, not Becall. (what can I say, product of a misspent youth...)

[SadieKate]

Ack, you're right! I just haven't had time to verify the accuracy of each one. Bubba was spewing them at my right and left. Then, Andrew came home and both barrels were firing. I'm lucky I got down what I did.

Thanks.

[SadieKate]

The two guys who won actually sung the songs from Willy Wonka:
"I’ve got a golden ticket" and "OOMPA LOOMPA DOOMPADEE DOO / I'VE GOT A PERFECT PUZZLE FOR YOU."

The 2nd place team found each other without the singing but then did sing "It’s the Inquisition, what a show. It’s the Inquisition, here we go."

This has been the only light spot in the last 2 days. We've had no team building and breaks have been minimal. We're constantly behind schedule and in total brain overload. The game was a great idea because people were literally getting stiff from sitting for such long periods. They were running across the room as they thought they heard the right line.

Thanks, everyone!

Jelly Bellies get handed out tomorrow. I suspect I'll be popular again.

[maillotpois]

Great.

I have that SONG in my HEAD again.

[Lise]

SK, that sounds great! I usually groan when someone says "we're going to play a game", but then really get into it. Yours sounds very fun, and will, no doubt, be the highlight of the conference for many!

And yes, I have that song in my head, too. But that's OK. It drove out, temporarily, "Strangers in the Night", which often plays on a continuous loop in my head. Especially at work.
