In and Out XIV

Alright guys and gals, its been a while so I thought it was about time to get a
new In and Out game going. For those of you who haven’t played this before
or may have forgotten, I have copied the directions below. It seems you guys
normally give up after a half a day of guessing, but I just had to do this one.

Your staring words:
——————-
Musical
Oscar
Unleashed

So good luck and don’t give up!

The game starts out with one person who picks a theme of some sort and is the only person who is “in”. He then lists three things that are part of that theme to get people started. Next, people start listing three things and anybody who is “in” will respond with yes or no to each of them. Once somebody puts down three things that are all “yes”, the people who are “in” will usually decide to declare him in (unless for some reason they are not sure that person has guessed the theme, but normally you just declare them in).

A sample game might go like this:

I post

red
blue
green

to start off the game. So Spooky guesses

orange
poop
dinosaur

to which I respond “Yes, no, no”. At this point, Spooky figures out that the theme is colors and guesses

magenta
cyan
black

To which I say “Yes, yes, yes. You are in.” Then Spooky can start answering yes or no to anybody’s questions. The game goes on until people decide to stop.

            Wait. There’s a Hitler video involving Shawn? How is this not in the Tabloids already, and where can I see it?

          6. spookymilk’s avatar

            Every video there is strongly recommended, Melissa. Seriously.

          7. MelissaDiamondPhillips’s avatar

            I thought the conclusion, with Hitler staring forlornly at Kelly rocking out, was beauty to behold…then I got to the video with the reference to Shawn and all the “meta” angst and guffawed until one of my kidneys cramped.

      Canadian thanksgiving is the best! We all have the traditional grouse dinner, and apologize to each other for how awful and dry it is. Then we watch football. It’s Canadian football, though, so the field is a rhombus and the regulation height of the players is 6 inches shorter than the average American football player.

        I LOVE that you used “rhombus” in a sentence. 🙂 Thank you, Pope. For being you. 😀
