or Zoom Schwartz Profigliano (I have no idea how that goes anymore).

Oooh! I totally played that in Canada. It has to do with how you point at people (as you get drunk). Like a "Schwartz" is a "Zoom" with a headfake. Or something like that.

And never in my life have I been so distracted by Mark McKinney's junk.

Does he have abundant junk?

He has an epic banana hammock codpiece. It's horrible and mesmerizing, and you just want to honk it like a clown nose.

I think Profigliano is the headfake schwartz. Schwartz is a bounceback. Zoom is a normal pass.

I never synchronized swam, but my friends have: [link]

That sounds like a hoot and a half.

Ooh, we played zoom Schwartz profigliano (and his good friend gambrizi) in college! Also "I never" but we usually called it never have I ever. Clearly we were a wordy bunch--we also liked to play questions.

Kat, glad the new nurse is working out so well--I'm curious, since you were betting on it--what did his ethnicity end up being?

Both kids got a kick out of the mystery package from a stranger.

Hmm, maybe CJ needs a copy of my Rage Mix, which is great to work out/hit things to

A friend taught me a variation of that game but not called "I Never". I think it was just called the bean game or something. You've got a can and everyone starts with the same number of beans. You name something you've done and put in your bean. Anyone else who's also done it can put in their bean. The person who gets rid of their beans first wins. So of course the game tended towards mentioning the weird in the hopes no one else had done such-and-such before.

Where's the drinking in that?

My favorite drinking games were Asshole and Circle of Death.

Zoom Schwartz Profigliano (I have no idea how that goes anymore).

The way that we played it was that you count off in a circle. If your number is a multiple of three, you say "zoom" instead of the number. If your number is a multiple of 7, you say "schwartz". If your number is a multiple of both, you say "parfigliano". Also, I believe that everytime someone had to drink, the direction reversed.

I always liked the Question drinking game, too: you gotta respond to every question with another question, no repeats and within 5 seconds or ya gotta drink.

ooh! I liked that one, too.

I am not sober, but there were no drinking games involved. but another friend was offered a permanent job today. Health care for his two kids, himself and his wife. Whooofuckinghoo!

Congrats to him! I think there's always a community cheer when someone lands a job these days.

Skipping once-sigh-more because, according to the Buffista Calendar, today is Deena's birthday.

Happy birthday, Deena! With lots of wishes for a great day and a wonderful year!
