only in unitarian youth group

[godream]

We played Apples to Apples, just like we do every Sunday. For those who haven't played, each round a different player is the judge. They choose a green adjective apple card, and everyone picks the red noun apple card they think the judge will think fits best (or is funniest). It's a lot of fun. The tone of the game very much depends on the group playing it, though, and in youth group generally the group is largely my family, which makes for... interesting... results. Let's just say you wouldn't believe how much mileage we get out of the Michael Jackson card. Anyways -- I pulled the green adjective card "luscious", and got "my body" as a response, which in some circles might be flattering since all uses of the word "my" refer to the person who's judging, but is less so when you're pretty sure your brother put it in, you just don't know which one it was. :P

Later in the car on the way home, Denise says, "Dan, are you hitting on Tyler?" -- I won't even go into how that came up. "I'm hitting on everyone," Dan, aka g_virus, says. "You're not hitting on me," I say, pretending insult. "Remember that 'my body' card?" he asks. Rolling my eyes, I scoot waaay over onto the other side of the seat. -- I think last time our car conversation involved The Fashion of the Christ, which somehow also stemmed from Apples to Apples, possibly because we were making our own cards.

By the way, "zany" is another one of the adjective cards. "My family" won that one, easily.

Yipes. Okay. All the originals I had that I thought you would need were in the folder -- by what I thought you'd need I mean everything that wasn't either a.) printed in the issue or b.) by you, Ashlee, or Matt. I did notice when I was sorting that we seemed to be short on originals. :/ Have you had the chance to ask Mr. Ray about it? The originals tend to live in his office... Sorry to be totally not a help at all.
