Scattergories Answers 

I'm really mad right now. I'm still locked out of my e-mailbox and I don't know why. I tried re-entering my password, but they said it would take up to two hours to complete the operation. That's just sad. Anyway, I thought I'd follow up my Iraq piece with a slightly lighter post. A couple weeks ago, me and the other members of the SU drumline had a party to celebrate the beginning of the football season. During the party, a few people played a very entertaining game of Scattergories. If you don't know, Scattergories is a game where you're given a list of categories and you have to think of a word that fits in each category and starts with a randomly selected letter. Like I said, this was two weeks ago, so I don't remember everything, but I can recall some of the more outlandish or entertaining answers that people used. Here is a list of those:

Letter=P, Category=political/world leaders
Answers= Pol Pot, Phil Hitler ("Hitler's gay brother")

Letter=F, Category=farm animals
Answer=Falcon

Letter=H, Category=birds
Answer=Hairy Falcon

Letter=H, Category=Things you might yell at someone
Answer="Hey, asshole!"

Letter=D, Category=Vegetables
Answer=Delaware corn

Letter =F, Category=Street names
One guy came up with a real street, but some people said to just make one up, and I suggested "Fake Street" and "Fictional Street." I also could've said, "Fraudulent Street," "False Street," or "Fantasy Street."

I can't really remember any more, although I remember an anecdote about another game where the letter was M and the category was college majors. One girl couldn't come up with anything despite the fact that she was a math major. That's kinda funny. I have to go to writing in about 10 minutes, but if I have time later, I'm going to post my thoughts on another Pledge of Allegiance controversy and why it's idiotic and antitheistic. Until then, blog safely, and don't get locked out of your e-mail.
