Actually, Steve, Chris had already bought a copy when he showed the game to me. We played it, then went to find you to play it again.

Joe and Chris talked me into doing a demo while Jonathan was off playing Live Action Role Playing Chess.


Yeah, we really had to twist his arm. Laughing

Quote:
There are seven players in this demo. So the question comes out: "Why did the crocodile want to be a lumberjack?" Everybody writes out as many punch lines as they can, and they are passed to a reader.


I still think my answer of, "Better hours and free toothpicks," should have been picked.

Quote:
The usual suspects are trotted out: "Because he's OK...Because the alligator got the forest ranger job...To meet beavers..." when all of a sudden this answer is read: "Because he didn't like the Treefolk?."


I couldn't think of anything else, and that was the last one I turned in to the reader.

Upon which three of the seven players (long since sleep-deprived, since this was Sunday)


Well, it wasn't exactly my fault we stayed up too late Saturday night. Who's idea was the thong anyway?

Quote:
burst into hysterical laughter, while the other four look at them (read: us) like we were nuts, since the answer made no sense to them at all.


Hey, our laughing like loons made the rest of them laugh, so we should have got bonus points for that.

We've played the game at home since returning, and it's pretty handy for separating the funny from the non-humorous. Very glad I picked it up. This will remain a favorite Origins story for all time.

Thanks for the Colorado and New Jersey crews coming to Origins, otherwise I would have been a lonely camper.

Later,

Thanx for posting these, Mike! Very Happy

It's always fun to see those convention pics and - like somebody else said in the forum - it's great to be able to put faces to the familiar names! Razz
Finally I know what you look like, too! Laughing Very Happy

Thanks to Joe, too, for sharing his pics with us! Very Happy
