Just when I thought I'm ready to improve myself...
I was gonna paint the mailbox post, read to elementary school children, learn to play the bassoon, travel to exotic places, reform health control, and reverse the current trend of casual profanity. But I waited too long.
I ran into BrokenPictureTelephone.com. Thanks a lot, Va., I blame you completely.
This is a site that raises time-wasting to epic new heights. It combines the best of Pictionary and Taboo. I no longer play the latter, after a rushed trip to the emergency room following the GB's attempt to remove the buzzer battery with a kitchen knife. It wasn't pretty, and Julie was left behind to clean up, which was not an appropriate task for someone who once fainted when a teacher mentioned that he gave blood.
Where was I? Oh, right. This game is more addicting than crack ... er ... so I'm told ... and is simply hilarious. The drawing skills range from superb to what-the?, but it just doesn't matter. A high level of twisted humor among the participants certainly helps things along.
The only drawback is that there is some pathetic 14-year old who attempts to ruin as many games as he can. The players have learned to just ignore him ("don't feel the trolls") and press on. An interesting experiment in self-correcting social interaction.
This one gets 5 stars, highly recommended
