It's been a hectic day so I'm late in posting my Tell Me Thursday, but hey it is still Thursday right? :D
My photo from Wordless Wednesday is found
here. It is a picture of a board game that my family threw in the fire when we got fed up with it. Can you see what game it is through the fire? If you guessed the famous aged 'Trivial Pursuit' you're absolutely right.
It was a couple of years ago when I flew from Houston to Seattle to visit my sister, nephews, and brother in law. The night was getting later and later, colder and colder and conversation was coming to a crawl.
It was my wonderful sister who had the bright idea to play this game which I so much dreaded but reluctantly joined in on. After only 30 min. into this mind twisting torture of not so terribly smart individuals we all agreed to ditch this game that seemed to taunt us all. The closest thing nearby was my sisters fireplace which I joyfully (but carefully) started to toss in all of those nerve ending questions on history, science, the Arts, technology, and mind boggling brain teasers. That's right we delightfully watched this game burn to ashes; well maybe not fully into ashes as the game questions are as strict and stubborn as the boardbox itself! But nonetheless, it felt good. I've always hated that game.

ReplyDeleteWhat a great Meme. I'll have to start doing the Tell Me Thursday. Thanks for the post!
ReplyDeleteNow there's a great idea - just throw it in the fire! I can think of a bunch of games where I should probably do that! :-)
ReplyDeleteSome of those games make you feel horrible, like you don't know anything!!! In the fire-that's a good one.
ReplyDeleteI know, sometimes those games make you feel like you don't know anything! In the fire-that's a good one.
ReplyDeleteI don't like that game either. I'm not good at history.
