I dislike surrealism, & I loathe surrealists in general, but damn do I love me a good game of Surrealist Telephone!

6 or more people sit around a table & take turns choosing a painting from a book. That person writes down a sentence of at least 17 syllables in length describing the painting.

The person whispers the sentence into the ear of the person on their left. Each participant then tries to repeat the sentence faithfully in the ear of the person on their left,

but the sentence always gets so butchered that it comes back to the creator almost completely different. We played Saturday night & I haven't laughed that hard in ages.

Years ago there was an MTV commercial like that. The first person whispered "MTV the music revolution has just begun." and it came back "Toothless prostitution is #1!"

One of my sentences started out:

"Before he put me together I flowed like milk puddles towards the table's edge."

& it came back:

"The soap dish meddles in the laundry business."

AWESOME!!! I need to get some friends to play that with me.

Just to be clear, you don't hate surrealism-lovers, do you? Because I love you!!

Surrealism lovers are fine, though perhaps a little suspect ;]
