For Christmas, LeTigress got me the game “Imaginiff…”. It’s dandy.
We played last night. It’s very intriguing. A person pulls a card that says, for example,
Imaginiff…___________ were a Beatle. Who would he/she be?
1. John
2. Paul
3. George
4. Ringo
5. Volkswagen
6. Dung
And then people vote on which answer best describes the person who was in the blank. If you vote with the majority, you get a point and get to move forward. So it's a lot like America. Vote with the majority, even if you think they're wrong, and you just might win!
But in this case it's fun.
An example or two:
Imaginiff Tex were a crime. Which would he be?
1. Vagrancy
2. Homicide
3. Shoplifting
4. Corporate fraud
5. Unsafe lane change
6. Indecent exposure
Everybody chose indecent exposure. Except me. I picked vagrancy. It seemed like he’d start with that and move up to extra-bad behavior in public.
Imaginiff Dotty were an emotion. Which would she be?
1. Hate
2. Fear
3. Jealousy
4. Rage
5. Lust
6. Love
BE and I both chose rage. Everybody else chose lust.
It’s strange and kind of marvelous to know what silly things our drunken friends think of us. I’m pretty happy. Lusty ain’t all bad, now is it?
Rage, though…what’s that saying about my marriage? Poor us. Lust apparently abounding, yet I’m full of rage! The implications are staggering. (If BE starts looking bruised and battered, someone may want to send me a note to get my rage under control.)
Imaginiff Dotty had an imagination. What would she invent?
1. Gnomes and fountains
2. Silent chalkboards made of fingernails
3. A stick for legally hitting stupid people
4. Pockets that are never full or bulky
5. A circle with corners
6. Fire
It’s a good game. I highly recommend it. There are some small pieces, so be aware that you should not run with them in your mouth or feed them to plastic bags that are not toys.
Rage! Rage against the dying of the light! Uh, lust?
