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!

Happy birthday, Deena!

Ooh, we played zoom Schwartz profigliano (and his good friend gambrizi)

We did not know of gambrizi; instead it was Zoom Schwartz Profigliano with an occasional appearance by Buderman.

My favorite drinking game was Thumper.

Happy birthday, Deena!

I've played Marco Polo (badly--being deaf in one ear is hard on directional hearing) and the occasional I Never. But Zoon Schwartz Profigliano is new to me.

Dear god, you have to count and multiply while drunk?! I would not survive the game.
