Apples to Apples and body functions!

In high school english club yesterday we talked about motivation and then we played the game "Apples to Apples." If you've never heard of this game and you're looking for a great party or fun game, this is it! If you're in the states, I got it at Walmart for $30.

We bend the rules so that bribery of the judges is included. This was discovered over Christmas break while playing with my family. It's actually a ton of fun this way as each contestant has to come up with their best "argument"for why their card should win and then convince the judge. Each person gets a turn to be the judge. Sometimes you don't get cards that fit the main word so you have to be creative.

So yesterday's high school group was all guys, so if you can imagine the next scene and then me....you'll get the picture.

One of the words this time was "ancient" and a student chose "picking your nose" as his choice to argue the word "ancient". His argument was that picking your nose is as old as time itself -- that everyone has picked their nose from the beginning of time. One of the guys said that it's not picking your nose unless you are three knuckles deep. All the guys started hootin' and hollerin' and having a grand old time.

I didn't have anything to say but I was definitely laughing at their craziness. What was I supposed to say to this? Definitely a guy moment.

Anyways, needless to say although it wasn't the winning card, it was definitely the favored card and the one which brought about the most conversation among the guys. Jeff (our pastor of the church in Budapest) went with me to the club and as we rode the tram back to Budapest, he laughed and said that its pretty true. Guys will always talk about body functions -- burping, farting, picking your nose is not excluded and that all guys can relate. So it was an interesting and informative high school group.
