Today was another stereotypically busy Saturday, filled with a
lot of running around.  My wife had various functions she had to
attend, I was on home patrol, shuttling children around, making
food etc.

Our evening activities included a get together with four other
couples at a friends house. It was to a typical couples gathering
with good food, good drinks, and good conversation.  As a bonus I
was told we would all be playing the Newlywed Game.

Our friends had printed out 26 pages (double sided) of questions
asked on the old Newlywed Game on TV. Questions were either for
the man or the woman to answer.  Now we all have been married for
a long time, average time would be around 18 years, with some like
use almost at 25.

Let me just say that the game was way more fun than I expected.
How the game is played is this:

* Decide who will answer questions first (men or woman) 

* Group not selected goes in the other room to wait (drink/eat) 

* Six questions are chosen at random, group provides the answer 
  they think their partner will give 

* Answer guessing group comes in and tries to guess their 
  partners answer 

* Correct answers get 1 point

* Next round the group of people answering questions switches

* Repeat however many rounds you are interested in playing

Now you might think that people married a long time would be able
to get all the answers right, and in many cases that was the case.
But in much more than I thought, the sheer amount of time we have
been married exponetially increased the potential answers!

Their was a lot of laughter at the answers and the opposing
couple reactions.  If you are looking for a couple party game
when there aren't any children around, definitely give this some
consideration.

Lastly, just wanted to give a shout out to jebug29@SDF.ORG!

jebug29@SDF.ORG sent me an email letting me know that he/she was
enjoying this phlog. I just want to repeat what I said in my email
reply -- Thank you so much!  With as obscure as gopher is, I think
a lot of people, myself included feel like their content is mostly
there for their own enjoyment or documentation.  It's really great
to get an outside wave now and then.  Thanks again!

Time for sleep, take care gopherians.
