Mind Games

[Faolan Doyle]

This space is for posting games which require at most paper and pencil, for those folk who have time to waste and nothing to waste it on. For starters, try the alphabet game; pick a category (horror movies, bands) and try and think of one you like for every letter of the alphabet. No cheating, don't just put one down to fill a gap.

This is a good one to play at work, especially if you have to work with people you don't particularly like. When anyone speaks to you, no matter who or what they say, answer, but wearing an expression of slight puzzlement or mild amusement; see how many people you can make paranoid!

I do that anyway but thats because I am slightly puzzled!!!

FD that reminds me, how do you tell if your surrounded by aliens masquerading as humans. I am very suspicious of my work mates. Does it have to involve probes?

Don't worry, Fred, the procedure is simple; if they talk about 'running with the big dogs', speak of their wages in Ks, enjoy Big Brother and other witless unreality shows, and witter on about their carbon footprint, they're aliens. If, on the other hand, they look like they're gurning when they try to express emotion, speak only in words of one syllable except for their one adjective 'f******', and talk of their motorised transport like women and their women like dirt, they're cro-magnon throwbacks. Those of us who wander through life looking puzzled and/or slightly distressed, read actual books instead of airport trash, don't give a flying f*** about cholesterol and scream abuse at news broadcasts, are homo sapiens sapiens, and one day will learn to teleport ourselves away from all the others. I hope...

Here's a game for you; hold a conversation using only song titles. We managed to keep it going for half an hour before someone needed a leak and blew the deal.

Ooohhhh Doooyyyeeeellll! Been a while since you put anything up in this section, hmmm? Too busy playing in the park with BFJ? Well, here's a game for you. Pick an object in the room you are in. Then try not to look at it at all. As many people can play as one referee can actually keep track on, or you can play by yourself. You can play oudoors, too, but that has nothing to do with this post. The winner is the one who can manage not to look at it at all for the longest time, or solo you can play for a personal best time. Here's a tip - don't pick your workstation if you happen to be working. And never, never, pick someone's groin as the object.
