So last night I was introduced to the paper game. Everyone starts first by marking the corner with your initials, and then writing a sentence and then passing it to the person to your left. That person tries to draw it, and folds the paper so the next person can't see the sentence. The next person tries to figure out what sentence was depicted. Since many of us can't draw, hilarity ensues at the end of the game when you see what sentence emerged.

Mine: The stars glittered through the trees as I walked through the forest. (Or something like that.)

Ending sentence: The plane dropped two nukes and there was happiness.

I literally could not stop laughing when I got my paper back, and I couldn't even read the sentence out loud. There actually was a progression:

pastwatcher did a good job depicting it
MB came up with a more complex sentence, still about trees and stars and a forest, with someone's heart rejoicing
KH drew something similar with trees and stars, but also a heart with a smiley face.
EY though the trees were mushroom clouds and wrote a sentence about that

inteluser depicted the mushroom clouds and a plane and bomb and the same heart with a smiley face.
GZ wrote: The plane dropped two nukes and there was happiness. And he told me that it was disturbing but it was what he saw. And so it all made sense.

Also,

landofnowhere hands me the sentence "the people fought over the ferret" which I drew as two people with swords and an attempted ferret, which turned into the title of this post: You may have Excalibur, but I have a Jaguar!

HRSFA should do this more often. Though usually gaming is Friday nights, and that fails for obvious reason. But yay paper game.
