Pictionary is not for drunk people

If there's anything I've learned from going to house parties the past couple weeks, it's that board games are exponentially more amusing if you've polished of a bottle or two of wine. The one my particular crowd keeps coming back to is Pictionary.

Normally I'm a pretty decent at Pictionary, however, after drinking I have all the skills of a functionally retarded child who has gotten his hands on a huge crayon.

Below are some re-enacted drawings I created in MS Paint. They were drawn with my off-hand (I'm a lefty) to give it that jittery alcohol-saturated effect.

This is supposed to be a dog.


A Microphone.


It's either a padlock or some crude sex ed drawing.


I got pissed because I was supposed to draw an emotion. Notice how I mispelled Spartacus.

Later we separated into a girls vs. guys teams (dubbed by me the Constant Carls and Cycling Carlas) and made a pile of original challenges. Unfortunately, the Cycling Carlas had a huge miscalculation in making all their challenges for the guys sex organ-related. Guys think about sex all the time. I could draw a sideways 8 on board and the first thing shouted out would be "Baaaaalllls". We gave the girls much harder drawing challenges such as "Power Steering" and "The Hot Carl".

End score: Constant Carls 40; Cycling Carlas 2

Now on my playlist:
The New Pornographers: Twin Cinema
The Aquabats: Charge!
The Jim Yoshii Pile Up: Pick Us Apart

That is the best drawing of a padlock that I have ever seen!

Before I read that was a penis, I thought it was a key.

Nice playlist.

Ah, Pictionary. You kids and your crazy 80s nostalgia. It's only a matter of time before the networks bring back Win, Lose or Draw or as I liked to call it, Parade of the Fluffy Mullets.

I'm a fan of drunken scrabble myself.

Those are pretty damn good drawings, if you ask me. And it seems the key to Pictionary is not great drawings, but wild gesticulations that somehow drive your mental images into your partner's brain.

Porno Scrabble is good too. But you have to have Bootsy Collins music on in the background, otherwise it just doesn't work...
