Is there such a thing? Last night I lost at Pictionary. Well, lost isn’t the right word. My team stalled at the starting line while the other team raced around the track to uncontested success, did a victory lap, then nudged our stalled car off the track where it rolled into a pile of tires, burst into flame, then the tangled black wreckage was carted away and destroyed.
So yes, I am a sore loser. With some of the drawings, I preferred to finish up after the time was up, just so I could at least have the feeling of satisfaction that my drawing was good. While I would draw something in three-point perspective with full shading, the opposite team would draw a squiggly line and the other team member would shout out, “Double indemnity! Yes!” Then they would move forward on the board. Yet again.
So I decided to help the other team by mumbling incorrect answers to try to get them to stray from the eventual solution. Some of my helpful possible answers:
Removable warthog
Greco-Roman grappling
Crinoline
Quadruple indemnity
Stentorian
Trouser dingbat
Non-preventative maintenance
Dentrifice
Scolex
But you already know the outcome of this counter-intelligence propaganda campaign. We lost. But I am totally fine with that.
F$#k.
I think there's a momentum to losing. First you stumble, then your partner forgets how to speak, then YOU forget how to speak. It's unrecoverable!Now I'm off to engage in preventative destruction: breaking things before they have a chance to break on their own and disappoint me!
I DEMAND GRAPHICS.
We all know the 3D CAD drawings are no good in pictionary. Please tell me you partnered with Cristina…I can hear the sighs from here..!
I'll see if I can track down my brilliant file cabinet drawing or perhaps the shrunken head tryptch.
[ciò è buono]
remember when we asians whup your butt?!!!
