Canon The Bartender

It isn't often when you come across people who enjoy charades. We all have played this game at some point in our lifetime, usually in school or as an orientation event. Some people like it, perhaps the guessing the right answer part or the reading minds part.

I never really envisioned being part of a group that actually wants to play charades for the sake of humour and challenge. This group of friends can't get enough, though we are running out of movie titles to list as guesses. Or maybe we just wanna see how stupid we can get the 'other' team to look while trying to figure out the 3rd syllable of the 2nd word. And it can get really funny. I managed to act out "Conan The Barbarian" by somehow getting my team to put together "Canon The Bartender". Sometimes, it gets brilliant. We marvel at the way some players can creatively execute their phrases. I failed acting out "Tora Tora Tora" after great animatics, while Sisilia did "Manchurian Candidate" by simply doing "Man" and pointing at Mr Chew. Sheer magic.

Go give this old school game a try. You'll be surprised how quickly people guess "Bridges of Madison County".
