Meanwhile, back at the Cape…
Tonto, disguised as a door, was having his knob pulled.
Nah. Just kidding!
It’s an oldie but a goodie though.
Now we’re over the little speed hump with Lucas, tis time to be getting back to our little adventure.
So.
Once all attendees were in residence, it was time for some fun and games.
Now, as most would agree, games are best played whilst imbibing in the odd alcoholic beverage <----- read shit loads of whatever you fancy.
Picture 2 mad Australians trying to teach some crazy Americans how to play that Saturday night favourite, Celebrity Head, throw lots of alcohol in the mix, and you have just one night of mayhem with all of us at the house!
Please remember here, there are 5 people who have never even heard of the game, most of whom are well on the way to being rather pissed, 2 people trying to explain the idea and rules of said game, who were even more pissed, we’re still waiting on the didg to be delivered, so I’m somewhat frigging antsy, the only thing we have to stick on people’s heads are post it notes, and it’s bloody dark, so noone can see a damned thing, with me seeing the least, because I’m night blind.
The last little point necessitated the use of a torch so we could see who had what name on their forehead.
A few of them nearly had their eyes sucked out by said torch, cos the aim of those holding the torch was a little impaired!
Sounds like a hoot, right?
Oh, it was a fucking hoot I can assure you!
The girls chose not to participate, so they were given the task of choosing the names to be used in this mad cap little evening around the fire pit.
And what names they chose too!
Damn they did well, given we needed names that everyone would recognise, not only American or Aussie ones.
Here is just a small taste of the names they chose:
Princess Diana <--- Mark got her, his very least favourite person in the world!
John Lennon <--- Took me forever to get this one right!
Michael Jackson <--- The timing on this was brilliant we thought
Paris Hilton <--- Evyl got this one! Too funny when you see the size of this small man mountain!!
The Grim Reaper <--- Me! Yeah thanks for that one girls!
Michael Murphy <--- Yep, Michael got himself, and one of his questions was “Am I gay?” How tempted were we to say yes???
Elvis Presley <--- Joyce was flummoxed for quite a while on this one
The Tooth Fairy <--- A gender question sparked a 10 min debate on whether the fairy is male or female. It was decided female BTW
Marilyn Monroe <--- Michael again, and his excitement when he found out he was not only blonde, but had nice boobs, was something to behold!
JFK <— This in the same round as Marilyn Monroe. You can well imagine the hints being thrown around!
We gave hints after 3 questions had been asked, otherwise we would have been there all night.
{Came close to that anyway I think!}
The hints were, at times, better than the actual game, and there was much laughter, with quite a few debates on the validity of answers given to questions.
There were many more names, and many more rounds, more laughter than you could poke a stick at, and it was a brilliant night overall.
For the life of me I can’t remember who was who other than those I’ve mentioned above, so if any of the said participants read this, please fill me in?
I was after all, pretty pissy at the time!!
I guess 8 or 9 bourbons will do that to you though??
This game was such a hit in the states that at a recent 16th birthday party it was played, so to all you Aussies, know that this was just one small way of educating people on the madness that is part of being Australian, and it would seem we were quite successful.
For a 16 year old to play one of our games at her birthday party tells me it was well received!
My next post on the wonderful time we had will be about another game.
The Redneck Game of Life.
You think we had fun with Celebrity Head, well this one was just as good, I can assure you!

That was a fun night! I remember that I was David Beckham and Batman I think. Michael enjoyed being Marilyn Monroe a little bit too much.
oh yeah, batman! that’s right! the hints we gave were hysterical..as to michael, he was a little too excited wasn’t he??
The whole game came to an abrupt end when that delivery guy showed up with the didj. Everybody just up and quit.
at least it was a good reason to quit i guess…and we all ended up in tears then laughing some more! it was just a fabulous night overall wasn’t it?

Sounds like a fun game.
it’s a great game…the only answers you can give are yes or no, and if the first answer is no, then it’s the next persons turn…while you keep getting yes answers, you can keep asking questions..some of the questions and hints are hysterical!
we did nothing but laugh the whole time!
