Three Games To Annoy

Jun 26, 2007

Three games.

Enter a friend’s apartment. As you walk by his/her shelves take note of a random movie, CD or book. Then after a few minutes earnestly ask if he/she has a copy of said media. “Say, do you have a copy of the special edition of The Emperor’s New Groove?” People sometimes laugh.
When someone expresses a half-hearted opinion while instant messaging with you, immediately respond with a sentence telling them that they in fact have the strongest possible version of that opinion. Like if someone says “I guess I kinda liked Die Hard,” you type back “You love every scene in Die Hard.” I really love doing that. To date, no one has responded in a way to indicate they even notice. Still.
When someone is explaining that they chose not to do something very innocuous, interrupt and ask them if they chose not to do that thing because they were scared. “I skipped brunch on Sunday.” “Because you were scared?” “No, I wasn’t scared.” It is great fun. No one ever laughs.

They’re all kind of annoying. I recommend them anyway.

I love number 3. Especially if you do it with a knowing nod while saying the line.

i am totally doing that last one the next time i call my sister. my old standby of replying to every opinion she expresses and event she describes with ‘yeah, well, your mom likes ___’ or ‘your mom did ___’ has gotten old. especially because we share a mom.

Erik just got done playing #3 with me. That was fun. Then he made a Chris Benoit joke. He’s really on today.

Linda, that made me laugh.

Apparently I’ve blogged before about saying “because you’re scared” in response to things. The repetition in this blog begins!

My friend Sean and I blame fright for a lot. “I’m not going to see that movie.” and one of us will respond…. “oooh, are you th-scared?” The lisp makes it much funnier? Also, pitch up as you say “th-scared?” until you doing a girly-girl voice at the end.

Trust me on this.

“Emperor’s New Groove” is an underrated movie, and I would like to own a copy of the special edition of it.

Who is this friend of tours who owns it? I would like to become better friends with that person.

I consider myself a friend of tours, but I don’t own that DVD. Why? Because I don’t own a DVD player. Why? Because my roommate owns one. Why? Because she lives in the 21st century, unlike me.

I could have answered “Because I’m scared” to any of those questions.

DVD players are insanely cheap, Kirk. You can get a really good DVD player for like $50.

And after you do that, you will be firmly prepared to be left behind as everyone around you buys HD DVD players.

I don’t own a TV, Porter.

Or a computer.

It’s things like this that make me say, “Oh how I miss that Will Hines! Why did I move to Chicago again?”
