A new Brokieism game

[Ellemeno]

In chat a while ago, some of us were talking about starting a new game.  I don't have all of it figured out yet, but here it is so far.

One of us posts a little scenario of any kind, stopping short of a punchline.  Others come along and post a Brokieism (pure or tweaked) as the end line.  Here's an example.  I have a specific line in mind (thanks LauraGigs), but there is no wrong answer.  How would you finish this one?


Bill is helping Ted put out his recycling.  Bill stops, looks into the container, frowns, and says, ________ .

[Kelda]

Trash don't look right.

[Katie77]

I can see why Im sick of beans.

[southendmd]

"No more beans!"

[Ellemeno]

Hooray for all three answers.

Laura's line was something to the effect of having to get on in there and untangle the #2 plastic from the corrugated cardboard.

Okay, how about another one?  Anyone want to post the next scenario?  Coming up with one is feeling hard.

This is a fun game Elle!  But, you're right... coming up with good scenarios will probably be the hardest factor in these games.

Here's one... I don't know how far folks will be able to take this one.  It's got two parts.

A group of co-workers is hanging out in the coffee room, ____________ .  Their boss rushes in and reminds them that the board meeting started 5 minutes ago and she says, _____________.

[southendmd]

A group of co-workers is hanging out in the coffee room, talking about soup .  Their boss rushes in and reminds them that the board meeting started 5 minutes ago and she says, "Let's get, 'less you want to sit around tying knots all day".

[Gabreya]

I'll try. Even though I'm not all that at guessing games.

'You want soup?'

[optom3]

I'll try. Even though I'm not all that at guessing games.

'You want soup?'

That's one a the two things I need right now.

[Lynne]

I'll try. Even though I'm not all that at guessing games.

'You want soup?'

No right or wrong answers, Gabreya!  It's all fun.  I'm pretty sure that any necessary conversation could always be translated to Brokie-isms.

[Gabreya]

Oh. Well, all right.

Uh, the other answer maybe,'Hey, I think it's time you git up and walk. Aren't you tired from sitting down for some time? Your ass must be tired as well.'

[Brown Eyes]

I'll try. Even though I'm not all that at guessing games.

I think this is more along the lines of that game some of us played as kids... I forget what it was called.  Where you buy a book (there was a series of books) that has a series of one page stories in it with certain words taken out of key sentences and left with blanks.  You were supposed to fill in the blanks (they usually indicated whether it was meant to be a verb, noun, adjective, etc.).  It was meant to be funny, silly and creative.  Does anyone else remember this game?  It's driving me nuts that I can't think of what it was called at the moment.

In this case, the idea is to fill in the blanks with Brokieisms

A group of co-workers is hanging out in the coffee room, talking about soup .  Their boss rushes in and reminds them that the board meeting started 5 minutes ago and she says, "Let's get, 'less you want to sit around tying knots all day".

Good one Paul!

Here's my shot at this one:

A group of co-workers is hanging out in the coffee room,drinking (coffee) and talking and all.  Their boss rushes in and reminds them that the board meeting started 5 minutes ago and she says, "I suggest you get yourselves in here pronto!"

LOL, I edited out the "scrawny asses" part since this is a professional setting and all.

Madlibs?

[Ellemeno]

Madlibs!  Yes!  That would be a good format.

And good scenario, Amanda.  Okay, I'll try making a short madlibs:

The town of ___ is every tourist's dream.  There, you can see ___, ___, and even, on rare occasions, ___.  When you get hungry, be sure to head over to ___, where you'll be able to eat the best ___ you've ever had.  To complete the trip, don't forget to pick up ___ to take home with you as a memento.

[Penthesilea]

I took artistic license and didn't fill in real Brokieisms, but other Brokie related words .

The town of Cowley is every tourist's dream.  There, you can see the place where Aguirre's trailer had been, Ennis's alley, and even, on rare occasions,the back of Ang Lee's director's chair.  When you get hungry, be sure to head over to the meat shop, where you'll be able to eat the best beef jerky you've ever had.  To complete the trip, don't forget to pick up some pebbles from beside the railroad track to take home with you as a memento.

[Brown Eyes]

Madlibs?

Yes!!!  Thank you!  Madlibs is what I meant! I was completely blanking on the name of that game.

[Front-Ranger]

Okay, here's how I would answer it:

A group of co-workers is hanging out in the coffee room, sitting around tying knots all day.  Their boss rushes in and reminds them that the board meeting started 5 minutes ago and she says, Git your scrawny asses in there!


New scenario, although I'm sure there are many other good answers for this one.

Two friends arrange to meet each other at a local watering-hole after work but one of them is an hour late showing up. What do they say to each other when they finally meet up?

[Meryl]

[Katie77]

Wow.....was that the correct answer......only took me four gos to get it...

[Meryl]

D'oh!  Of course!  The perfect answer. 

[Gabreya]

Perfect answer all right.

Keep going y'all!

[Ellemeno]

Yay, the game goes on with and without me!

Just one reminder, as game starter I say there is no one "right" answer the way I set up the game.  Players can express that there is a certain answer they are hoping for, but ALL answers are wonderful.

Sue, you want to take a turn at presenting a scenario?  Or anyone else can go next.  It's a nearly no-rules game. 

[Katie77]

Ok.....now let me think..........gees I cant think of anything.....I love finding answers, but Im not too good at startin em off....

[Ellemeno]

Ok.....now let me think..........gees I cant think of anything.....I love finding answers, but Im not too good at startin em off....

Good one, Sue, that's more appropriate!

[Katie77]

[Katie77]

OH, Im on a roll.....just thought of another one....

By the way, here's a handy list of some Brokieisms, courtesy of our old anagrams game:

[Lynne]

...that's the most I've laughed in a year...

[Meryl]

Good one, Lynne!  There's another one still out there, though....

[LauraGigs]

"You don't say much, but you get your point across."

[Meryl]

"You don't say much, but you get your point across."

Bingo!
