Hep, I need a fun game for a meeting

[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.

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.

Great.

I have that SONG in my HEAD again.

[SadieKate]

Oh, I'm sooooo sorry.

Not really.

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.

Ever get a really bad song looping in your head while you are climbing on the bike? Lola was almost my downfall last year on a Death Ride training ride:

Girls will be boys and boys will be girls
Its a mixed up muddled up shook up world except for lola
Lo-lo-lo-lo lola

....

[Lise]

Oooh, yeah. Except for the "climbing" part, very little of which happens here on the prairie. "Amarillo By Morning" is a good riding song for me.

...up from San Anton', everything that I got is just what I got on... etc.

That and Amazing Grace

Sorry about the Lola thing. That one's tough.

[SadieKate]

It was funny how fast they were all ready to play. I think it was an indication of how stiff and tired everyone was getting from sitting and being blabbed at. Of course, the idea of two bottles of wine and 2 giant choc bars was good incentive.

Now I have Barry Manilow in my head. Not a pretty sight.

Not THAT Lola.

With yellow feathers in her hair and a dress cut down to there.....

The Kinks! One of my faves.....

[SadieKate]

Great. So I just demonstrated once again my lack of cool factor. The Kinks??
