;:Shakes her head to break herself out of the trance she was in from watching the dancers::

Oh... audition... oboe audition.. for Wind Ensemble at the college I go to...

Ehhh.... Here, Broelan!! Spin Away!!!

here goes....
for all remaining twister players....

*spins*

left foot key lime. that's not the same, is it?
anyone for coolwhip on their cheesecake?

ottox, please don't ignore us forever.....


*tries to coax ottox into the game*

*spins again*

right foot blueberry!

* doesn't know why he shouldn't ignore them, as he has no idea what's going on... *

actually, it's gotten kind of slow, a great time for you to catch up!

i've been meaning to ask you, what exactly is the new name attachment? kiqottmom(asap(prolp))? i've tried to figure it out, but outside of the asap, i'm lost.

so you don't know what's going on.... well, it's a party at your place, for you, what do *you* want to do? besides ignore us.

Congratulations, Dragonfly

Here, have some Cheesecake, Ottox, and watch for a while. That is... if you've finished dancing.

* forgets to ignore... *
What I want to do is to get you to read post 40 and then come back here and tell me about the game!

And asap means "and songs about pastries"...

okay, i was wrong about the asap, what is the rest of it about?

i didn't check post 40, but if i remember it right, you didn't know what twister was or how to play it.... am i right?

it's a big mat you put on the floor. the mat has big colored circles on it, i think there are 20 (dragonfly, feel free to correct me on any of this). the colors are in rows, red, blue, gree, and yellow, five of each. so picture it like this:

_____ _____ _____ _____
( ) ( ) ( ) ( )
( red ) (green) (blue ) (yello)
(_____) (_____) (_____) (_____)

_____ _____ _____ _____

then there is a spinner on a board, and the board has spaces for things like:
left hand blue
right foot green
left foot yellow
right hand red
and any combination of hands, feet, and colors.

the spinner spins, and calls out what the arrow lands on. everybody follows the directions from the spinner. if the spinner calls out 'right hand yellow', then all players must put their right hand on a yellow spot. you have to leave your hand on that spot until another color is called for your right hand. in the meantime the spinner may call out left foot green, so while keeping your hand on the yellow, you must put your left foot on a green, and so on. the object of the game is not to fall over.

only we were playing with cheesecake, a little slippier than your standard twister mat.

they call it twister because of the way your body gets twisted reaching around the other players to reach the correct spots with the correct limbs.

c'mon, ottox, join in!

for ottox
's for every one
small on cheek for ottox

sorry about the twister mat, it looked better in creation. i don't know if it's too confusing to follow, maybe you get the idea..... if not feel free to ask again, or ask dragonfly, our twister queen!

Austen Powers plays it with Miss Kensington in 'Austen Powers, International Man of Mystery' too, if you want a demonstration.

YEAH BABY YEAH!!!

...Looks like we should start a new game!??

Ok...but first is there any brownies???
and beer...

Brownies and beer?

you don't want brownies with beer! its *snickerdoodles* that go with beer (at least that's what hubby says... i personally can't do beer with anything sweet. beer was actually made for pizza. or does that go the other way around?)

so, how 'bout it ottox? you up for a game of twister?

Isn't it odd, and rather upsetting, that two of the best things in the world - beer and brownies - just don't work together. If I'm having brownies, it's got to be a (How about that tea smiley Peta ). In fact any type of choccy just doesn't go with beer. Chocolate and cheese though.....

sorry just missing someone
any way I am being a good boy and staying sober for once
choclate sounds good though

I once played an interesting game of twister where we dispensed with the obvious "hand" and "foot" bit, and substituted other body parts of the caller's choice.

I think the game collapsed when we were instructed to put our right eyebrow on blue, while keeping one's left buttock on yellow.
