Panacea for Boredom

Last night Krista, Heidi, Nici and I had a few hours to burn with nothing to do. We were far from home with no where to go while we waited for some other people to show up at the hot springs in Ogden. Being of the highly-creative, easily-amused variety, we invented a game that is sure to cure boredom no matter the situation. Apologies to the reliable paper, rock, scissors--there's a new kid on the block.

This game is actually more of a storytelling adventure. Each person only gets one word at a time and the story is passed from person to person to person. Not one person has control over the direction of the story--and it's one of the funniest things to see how the story evolves. In last nights case, we had stories about a porcupine with STDs, George with three sacks full of water, and a few other non-printables. We laughed and laughed and laughed. Who knew sitting in the car in the dark on the side of the highway could be so much fun? I'll have to consult with the other authors to get a version to print. Ohhhhh man. Good times.

"One Word Storytelling" is the new "Would You Rather?" at the Holla House.
