This is a historic post for KF411 as it's the first one that legitimately requires a warning about "strong adult content". In fact, I think we're running a decent risk of Typepad shutting down our weblog after this one. However, this particular post is well worth running the risk of a shut-down.
Our New Year's Eve activites included a rather spirited game of Pictionary before bedtime. It was a three-way couples' match up: Sue & Al, Kerri & Tony and Me & Amy.
Kerri & Tony inexplicably executed an unprecedented beat-down on the rest of the field. Within a few eyeblinks of the game starting, the Fasig's were 3/4 of the way around the board while the other two teams were floundering on the first straightaway.
That's when things started getting a little scary.
Sue and Al, a seemingly respectable and upstanding couple, were required to draw "bite the bullet" with Al drawing and Sue guessing. Al kicked things off by drawing a human's mouth with what I thought looked like a somehwhat phallic shape being inserted into it.
Now granted, I was a little tired and giddy, I had some Long Trail Ale in my system and I was a little desperate to create a distraction. So I made a mild comment about how Al's drawing seemed to be evolving into something dirtier than what the creators of Pictionary would have intended. But admittedly, it was a stretch. The shape may have been phallic, it may not have been; different people could have interpreted it differently.
Then, to everyone's jaw-dropping astonishment, as if Al intended to erase any and all doubt as to whether this was a "dirty" picture or not, he proceeded to draw a new shape next to the first one which was undoubtedly phallic! If you think I might be making this up, please refer to the above photograph.
Needless to say, after seeing Al's second drawing Sue was much too flustered to even attempt any more guesses for the rest of the evening.
After that, Kerri & Tony quickly went on to win the game, and everyone agreed that this seemed to be a perfect time to put ourselves and the year 2010 straight to bed.
