The Anal Game & Best Prejudice Slurs & Inflationary language
While stuck in traffic or on long car trips, my friends and i like to play the "anal game." You put anal in front of the the names of cars. (hint: the funnest ones are RVs, they always have funny names).
a few examples:
- anal explorer, excursion & expedition
- anal prode (my favorite)
- anal paradise

(sorry about the non-european car names, the ones that i know don't work that well. :P)

In high school, my group of friends was pretty varied in race, class and sexuality. We made a game out of insulting eachother at every chance we got. While walking through the hallways i can't even count how many times i was called "fag" or "dyke." The funniest part, though, is the looks that other people give you. i'm sure this is a pretty common impromptu game, but for a good reason.

This "game" was made famous by a pianist named Victor This gets quite confusing when you talk really fast. I recommend playing while under the influence of something to ensure that hilarity will ensue. It's hard to explain so i'll just give you an example.
Before: "Before i went to bed, i ate a cookie"
After: "Befive i went three bed, i nine a cookie."

that's all for now!

You're all in for a treat.
When I was in junior high, my friend crushed a can, kicked it at someone and said "you're gay!". My friends, that was a joyous moment, as Gaycan was formed. Gaycan consisted of about 15 people, every man for themselves, and one crushed can for every 7 people. We'd kick the can, and whoever got hit last was "gay of the day". We even made a little league and championships and stuff. Where it got really interesting was how the various people would play. I saw "Riverdance Gaycan" in which you couldn't move the upper half of your body. I'm sure there were other kinds. Just can't remember them. Guess you just had to be there.

name game
Me and a mate ALWAYS play 'what's my name' whenever we're in public and bored. Just look at someone and guess their name. We mutually decide who's answer fits his/her appearance best, much like the 'guess my name' game featured in the newletter the other week.

Favourite names so far have been: W.H. Hornman, Steen Seventeen-Seventeen and Vel Madman. We once asked someone their name after we had both made our guesses but we were wrong. Takes the fun out of it.

on the way home from uni the other day
we somehow got into an "alphabetical double-barrel insults" game where you start with the first word as A and second as B, then B+C, and so on. For example:
"Arse Badger"
"Burberry Crotch"
"Cum Dumpster", etc.
It lasted up to X fairly obviously, by which time we were home and so packed it in anyway.

Alien Molusc
This games takes two players. One player pretends to be and Alien Space Molusc/snail and the other person pretends to be a fleeing 1950's american house wife. The chase ensues with full sound effects, twisted ankles, and laser guns. Continue until somebody asks you what you are doing. At that point look as normal as possible and just walk away.

Well he speaks very highly of you...
Anytime someone says something negative about a famous person,you say 'well he/she speaks very highly of you.' Nearly everyone initially looks thrilled with the approval they are getting, and some even say "really?" before they click and realise the absurdity of the statement. People in on the joke make it more of a competition to see how many people you can get.

Example:
"I can't stand Russell Crowe! He can't act."
"Well, he speaks very highly of you!"

They always feel foolish, because the gut reaction is to feel good about recieving approval.

Try it.

ahhh, hilarity.

Questions
A good drinking game. You ask someone a question, instead of answering they ask someone else a question, and so on. Loser is the person who answers a question or hesitates, and they have to drink. Question can be banal or scandalous, such as:

"[name], what did your mum think of my technique?"
"[name], when did you realize you like little boys?"

Hilarity ensues.

On a roadtrip though the American South
We discovered that- while going through Virginia, Alabama, Tennessee, Mississippi, and Arkansas (on accident)- that at any place where more than 3 natives are available you can hold up 10 fingers, and the other members of your party get to guess if the natives have more teeth than the fingers you are holding up, or less.
(answer: usually less)
When we got to Mississippi we amended the game so you guessed if the person was sporting more teeth with platinum/gold/tin on them than fingers or less.
(answer: usually more)

One afternoon, the girls and I were bored.
We had no liquor, so we started playing "I Never" using shots of water. The first one to pee loses. The game involves stating something such as "I never smoked a joint" and whoever has smoked a joint (or whatever was stated) must drink. This was great for me, as out of the three of us, I was the only one that had no had a tattoo, been pregnant, lived out of town, lived with a boyfriend, taken acid, and so on and so forth. However, they got me back on things like coating myself in chocolate pudding, being topless in front of hundreds of people, flirting with married men, and leaving North America.

Drinking water sounds easy, until you find yourself giddy from exposing your friends' deepest darkest secrets, and laughing hysterically while trying not to piss yourself!

The "loser" had the last laugh, though. After 3 hours of constant water shooters, Jess finally jumped up and ran to the toilet, locking us out and taking her sweet time in the bathroom. I was considering relieving myself in the kitchen sink when she finally decided to let me in!

Spot the Gavin
Gavin is the name of a generic non-descript tall male (sorry to all actual Gavins), the sort of guy who talks about mum and dad, talks about his minor accidents, has dull hobbies, and is just generaly uninteresting. Working on a point system we would count the number of people who we thought fit the description. Winner is the one with the highest points. Extra points are given if Gavin is driving a particularly generic car or has a particularly 'homely' girlfriend.

Variations of this game are usually 'Warren', such as dirty old men, paedos, or bogans(Aussie term for unemployed underclass who wear too much adidas)

kings cross dash
Go to Kings Cross or any other busy station at rush hour, and race down the platform as fast as you can to catch the southbound northern line (or any other convenient finish line). Win by either getting to the tube platform first, or by knocking over more gourmet coffees/bagels/other train station type fodder than your opponents. If there is spillage on your outfit, you loose points.

We stole this from MST3K
There's an episode from Mystery Science Theater 3000 in which they play a very monotonous, repeitive electronic beat. The characters begin singing pop songs to the beat, and whenever they ran out of words, they threw in "tusk!" So we adapted this game using "Blue Monday" by New Order. You get into the rhythm and sing any song you can think of. There aren't "winners" or "points" per se, but you do get mad props for coming up with obscure songs or creating very interesting or jarring juxtapositions (like Joe sings "Hey jude... don't make it bad... take a sad song... and make it better... TUSK" and then Charlie sings "Straight outta Compton; crazy motherfucker named Ice Cube, TUSK" and then I sing "Happy Birthday to you..." Alright, maybe you have to do it to get its humor.)

The Reel in Game
This is a game we created more from being annoyed at a certain group of people than just for fun. Ever notice how some people you know just like to linger around you? You don't really want them there, or they just hover about not adding anything to what you are doing? Be it at the office, in a school, or out in public some people just inevitable come by and stare dumbfounded? Well we created the reel in game because we noticed this happening a lot to us. You find a target that you know will walk over eventually. You walk slowly and see how close you can get before they turn and walk over to you, all while moving your hands like you are reeling in a fish. Many ways to win, farthest hook, closest hook, most hooked. It's more fun than it sounds when played with other people that know what it is.

Kick a Soda Bottle Into A Toilet, etc.
We are constantly making up random games to play due to the extreme state of boredom we are usually in. One in particular is the "kick the soda bottle into a toilet" game. It is where my roomates and I stand in the common room and try to kick a half full inverted soda bottle down the hallway and land it in the toilet. If you can master the back spin, you can win the game. Various other games include Wal-Mart Shopping Cart Rally, Move the Home for Sale Signs around random yards that didn't want to sell their home, and Skateboard Jousting with Brooms in the back of the fireworks store.

Breaking the Seal
When I am out on the razz me and my mates play "Break The Seal". It involves that well known boozing phenomena of being able to drink for ages without needing a piss and when you do finally "break the seal" you have to go every 20 minutes. Basically the first to go loses. Be warned... it can end in unexpected micturation in your trousers!

If that happens then you wont get any females unless they find the smell of urine attractive.

Playing Tick Tack in the pub with Peter!
My mate peter and I were bored in a pub, so we each brought a pint and chucked coasters at it to see if we could land them on top. It evolved into a game, and now has a few devoted followers. Scoring was:

Get on top: 500
Get underneath: 1200
Get IN: 300
Lean up against like a triangle: 2000


plus any.

Everybody loves the penis game!
This game requires more than one person.
One person whispers "penis" as quietly as possible. The next person repeats it slightly louder. Then so on, until everyone is screaming "PENIS!" at the very top of their lungs.

Game ends when someone loses their nerve or is arrested.

Best played in libraries, museums, and other such centers of culture and silence.

Anyone up for
an enthralling game of "Spot the Jew?" My friends and I started playing this game on a New York trip with my Synagouge's Confirmation Class. For some reason, only Jewish people are able to spot their own kind. Kind of like black people.

One Holiday in Florida
when I was about 12 I needed to find a way to last out the queues at all the Disney parks as i was losing the will to live. I began playing chicken on the hand rail / ropes as the queue winds back and forth.

The easy ones were adults, they just moved hands out of the way soon enough, but the bastard difficult ones were 6 year olds who had exactly the same idea. My parents made me stop when i pulled over two bollards, a bin and a particularly tenacious american kid who wouldn't let go of the rope either.

Pinche Cabron
or, ?Habla Espanol?

Can be played at: bus stops, gas stations, malls, grocery stores.
You need a partner, and at least one of you has to speak decent spanish.
You and your partner focus on a stranger, stand about five feet away, and begin offhandedly insulting the stranger entirely in spanish. As in, "The girl in the brown dress, the girl standing right in front of me, is a stupid, ugly whore." Does your target habla espanol? Let's find out!

Where you choose to play this game depends on how much of a gambler you are. Looking for a cheap laugh? Play in Iowa. Looking for a thrill and/or beatdown? Play in Miami.

Blotting paper
One day at school, during the time when flicking fountain pens over each other was all the rage, me and my mate decided to up the stakes. We stabed open a new cartridge (the long Parker type) and took it in turns to attack the back of the english teacher's tweed jacket. It lasted for most of the lesson after which, his jacket was totaly fucked. We didn't get caught so I guess we won!

Ice Hockey With MMM Matersons Turkey steaks

Add to that 4 underpaid student types, 4 frozen baggette sticks and a 1 kilo solid frozen turkey steak and you get a improvised hockey game! it was especially effective at destroying frozen bread sticks and and body part the "turkey puck" collided with.

Analyze the Danger Game!
This one was fun, but makes me very, very sad. Basically, when I'm walking down the street, I analyze (in percent) how much danger I'm in. For example :

Building Collapse + Out of control Car + Mugged by those people over there - With two other people (safety in numbers)

0.01% + 0.5% + 3.6% - 1.1% = 3.01%

Therefore, there is a 3.01% of me not having a good day.

Class, eh?

James Bond
(only works in America. Sorry.)

The combination of boredom and a plethora of parallel parking on winding, two-lane streets leads to many impromptu games of James Bond. That is, when driving down a quiet two-lane street, ease it up to sixty and start driving on the wrong side of the road. Humming the themesong is optional.

My game...
Once on a cruise, my sister and I were watching people walk back and forth in the hallways. I had the brilliant idea for the "Guedo game"

This is when someone walks by, you yell "GUEDO!" at them. If they turn around, point for you. If not, try other weird names until they do turn around.

That's it.

Messing with the school play.
Myself and a few friends were volunteered to help out backstage at our secondary school musical, boredom and certain inhalatory (sic.) substances got the better of us and we invented the 'get stupid stuff on stage game'. The rules are self explanatory, the scoring abitrary. Highlights included the 'stuffed cat in the beer mug' (53 points) and the 'kid's toy phone on the table' (159 points), I seem to remember the game finished when one of my friends got 'himself' on stage (733 points).
