CAR GAME
IN THIS CAR GAME, THE OBJECT IS TO SEE AND POINT OUT VOLKSWAGONS
BEFORE THE REST OF THE PEOPLE IN THE CAR. WHENEVER YOU SEE A
VOLKSWAGON,
YOU SAY "SLUG-BUG, NO SLUG BACKS," AND THAT ONE IS "YOURS."
THERE IS USUALLY NO ATTEMPT TO COUNT THE NUMBER OF "SLUG-BUGS" SEEN,
BUT MERELY TO SEE AND DECLARE THEM BEFORE ANYONE ELSE. (IN MY WORDS)

ARE TO YELL OUT, ZERO, FIRST STREETLIGHT.
ANOTHER PERSON SHOUTS, ZERO, SECOND

THIRD STREETLIGHT, GETS HIT BY THE REST

WE USED TO PLAY THIS EVERY NIGHT WHEN
THE STREETLIGHT WOULD COME ON. THEN
EVERYBODY CAUGHT ON AND WE WOULD HAVE TO
COMPEL SOMEONE TO TAKE THE THIRD PART
SO THE GAME COULD FINISH AND WE COULD SWAT SOMEONE.

GAME
THE OBJECT OF THIS THINKING GAME IS TO GUESS WHY TILLY WILLIS
LIKES CERTAIN THINGS AND NOT OTHERS. THE PERSON WHO IS EXPLAINING
THE GAME BEGINS BY SAYING, TILLY WILLIS IS ODD AND QUEER BUT NOT
PECULISR. SHE LOVES APPLES BUT HATES PEACHES.
SHE LOVES GREEN BUT SHE HATES RED. THE PERSON CONTINUES TO
GIVE LOVE AND HATE EXAMPLES UNTIL ONE OF THE PLAYERS
RESPONDS WITH WHAT HE THINKS TILLY WILLIS LOVES OR HATES.
THE CLUE TO THE GAME IS IN THE OPENING LINE.
TILLY WILLIS ODD AND QUEER ARE ALL WORDS CONTAINING DOUBLE LETTERS.
THE PLAYER WHO GUESSES THAT TILLY LOVES EVERYTHING
SPELLED WITH A DOUBLE LETTER, IS THE WINNER.

DRINKING GAME "BUZZ"
FIVE TO TEN PEOPLE ARE ARRANGED IN A CIRCLE WITH DRINKS
IN HAND. THEY START TO COUNT OFF: 1, 2, 3, ..., ETC.
WHEN A SEVEN OR A MULTIPLE OF SEVEN IS REACHED, THE
PERSON IS TO SAY "BUZZ." IF HE DOESN'T SAY "BUZZ", HE
MUST DRINK AND THE GAME GOES BACK TO THE NUMBER ONE.
Submitter comment:
AS THE GAME PROGRESSES, THE GAME BECOMES MORE HILARIOUS.
THE PEOPLE PARTICIPATING TEND TO DRINK MORE AS THE
GAME PROGRESSES. THE PEOPLE PLAYING THE GAME USUALLY
MISS SEVENS OR MULTIPLE OF SEVENS AS THEY DRINK MORE.
WHEN THE GAME IS OVER, THE PEOPLE THAT WERE PLAYING
ARE DRUNK.

DRINKING GAME "ZOOM-SWARTZ-PAFIGLIANO"
PEOPLE ARE ARRANGED IN A CIRCLE WITH DRINKS IN HAND.
ONE PERSON STARTS OFF BY SAYING ZOOM, SWARTZ, OR
PAFIGLIANO. HE MUST LOOK DIRECTLY AT ANOTHER PERSON
WHILE SAYING THIS. THE PERSON WHO HAS BEEN SPOKEN
TO MUST DELIVER A PHRASE TO ANOTHER PERSON. IF HE
DOESN'T RESPOND IN A MATTER OF A FEW SECONDS, HE MUST
DRINK. IF A PERSON SAYS PAFIGLIANO, THE PERSON WHO HAS
SPOKEN BEFORE HIM MUST RESPOND, REGARDLESS OF WHO THE
RESPONSE IS BEING DIRECTED TO. EXAMPLE: PERSON A SAYS
ZOOM TO PERSON B, PERSON B SAYS PAFIGLIANO TO PERSON C.
IN THIS SITUATION, PERSON A MUST RESPOND OR ELSE
HE IS FORCED TO DRINK. OTHERS RULES THAT APPLY ARE AS
FOLLOWS: NO POINTING IS ALLOWED, NO SCANNING OF THE
EYES IS ALLOWED, AND ZOOM CAN'T BE SAID TWICE.
VIOLATIONS OF THESE RULES RESULT IN A DRINK BEING
TAKEN BY THE OFFENDER.
Submitter comment:
THIS IS A FAST-PACED GAME. AGAIN, AS THE EVENING PRO-
GRESSES, THE GAME BECOMES QUITE A CHALLENGE BECAUSE OF
THE CONDITION OF THE PLAYERS. IT IS ENJOYABLE AND
FUN TO WATCH, IN ADDITION TO BEING A CHALLENGE TO PLAY.
THE KEY TO SUCCESS IN THIS GAME IS TO BE QUICK AND
ACCURATE WITH YOUR ANSWER.

BY WHISPERING SOMETHING TO THE PERSON NEXT TO HIM. THEN THAT PERSON
WHISPERS IT TO THE NEXT PERSON AND SO ON. WHEN THE PHRASE IS

YOU CAN PLAY THIS GAME WITH ANY NUMBER OF PLAYERS. ONE
PERSON STARTS BY SAYING THE FIRST LETTER OF A WORD (T)
THAT HE IS THINKING OF (TREASURE). THE SECOND PERSON SAYS
THAT LETTER (T) PLUS ANOTHER ONE (E) WITH A WORD IN MIND
(TEACHER). THE NEXT PERSON ADDS ON TO TE WITH A LETTER (X)
IN MIND FOR HIS WORD TEXTURE. THE NEXT PERSON MUST ADD ON.
IF HE THINKS THE PREVIOUS PLAYER IS BLUFFING, BECAUSE HE
THINKS THE PREVIOUS PLAYER HAS NO WORD IN MIND FOR TEX, THE
PREVIOUS PLAYER MUST STATE HIS WORD(TEXTURE). THE PLAYER THAT
CHALLENGED NOW HAS A POINT BECAUSE HE COULD NOT THINK OF A
WORD THAT BEGAN WITH TEX AND THE OTHER PLAYER WAS NOT
BLUFFING. IF A PLAYER ENDS A WORD, SUCH AS G, GU, GUM,
BECAUSE HE COULD NOT THINK OF A LONGER WORD BEGINNING WITH
GU, THEN HE GETS A POINT. WHOEVER GETS TEN POINTS FIRST
IS THE LOSER OF THE GAME.

While traveling I used to play a game with whoever
was in the car with me. What we would do is have one
person start off with the phrase "I'm going to
California and I'm going to take a...". Then the
person would finish the phrase with a word beginning
with the first letter of the alphabet. Then the next
person would repeat what the first person said, but
also add a word beginning with the next letter of the
alphabet along with trying to remember all of the
previously listed items in order. If a person missed
an item, they lost or were counted "out" if more
than two were playing. If the whole alphabet went
without a winner, then it would begin with the letters
going backwards until there was a winner.
