Words Against Humanity

No, that headline isn’t referring to Donald Trump tweets.

I’ve been horribly distracted lately by what’s probably a pointless endeavor but is still pretty amusing: thinking up funny stuff for the sometimes raunchy party game Cards Against Humanity.

Haven’t heard of it? I’ll introduce you…

So, it’s basically Apples to Apples or Mad Libs but …. filthier. Sometimes. Not always. It actually really depends on the players. The game’s played by drawing black question and white answer cards. The goal is to pick the funniest answer to a question. The pic below gives you an example:

I played it once with my mother-in-law and her sister along with their daughters, and it was hilarious. Eye opening, too. I had no idea my mother-in-law and aunt-in-law could throw down like that. Surprise, surprise.

So anyway, the makers of Cards Against Humanity are looking for writers and this has replaced all my spare brain time. No longer do I think of good band names, now it’s what would make a squirt-wine-out-your-nose card? Even at the movies recently, I had to pull out my phone and try to discreetly type up the ideas that struck while “Tag” flickered up on the supersized screen. It’s kind of addictive.

If you’ll excuse me, I have to get back to “work.” But first, I’ll leave you with this potential white card…. Instant enema. Actually, that would make a pretty good — and kinda gross — band name, too.
