Wanna Play?

I love to blog hop. Especially when it seems slow in the blogging world as far as my friends' lives go {I mean, they DO have lives too!}. That's when I like to venture out and see what else and who else is out there. This has led me to discover some of my very favorite blogs: NieNie Dialouges, C Jane Enjoy It and The Jolly Porter. Guess what else? They are all related. Seriously. That is one talented family. They take fabulous pictures, write beautiful poetic posts, and they can even make you crack a smile and laugh out loud when no one else is around.

Topher {short for Christopher} is the funny one. He doesn't blog often, but when he does... it's usually funny. He directs plays {and is apparently really good at what he does!} and is also an acting coach so he definitely has a flair for being funny and expressive. You should see the pretend interviews he does on his blog every Halloween with a traditional Halloween character {like the Mummy, Dracula and a Witch} it is classic stuff.

This weekend I noticed that he had posted and as usual, I wasn't disappointed. I guess in the past, he has played this game on his blog called 'In Character' where he asks his readers to come up with fictional scenarios that he can act out in one picture. Troy and I were laughing so hard that we had tears in our eyes- they were THAT funny. By the end, I was telling Troy, "We HAVE to do this- it would be so fun!" Of course, it's been years since Troy or I have acted out anything but this seems like a good time- like Charades but without the endless guessing.

So here's a sample of how it works {if you want to see the rest of the entries, go to Topher's blog at 'The Jolly Porter' link above and you'll see the 'In Character' post}:

Kacy says: You are a teenage boy who is generally embarrassed of his mother and you have just been asked to pin your Eagle scout award onto her ample bosom.


Jen says: You are a newly sustained Bishop, sitting on the stand next to an Area Authority when the speaker from your congregation details how the Lord just visited him and told him that he needed to begin collecting as many weapons as he can, because the last days are starting next year.


Lisa says: You're an aspiring model on America's Next Top Model. You want to win super bad. Tyra has just made a really stupid joke. Remember, you really want to win.


Leisha says: You are a man on a first date with the woman of his dreams. You just picked her up in your tiny car. The woman eeks out a "silent but deadly" stinkeroo. The smell is overpowering, but you are trying to carry on as if you don't notice.

Alright, do you want to play? I'll give you to this weekend to post your scenarios for Troy and I to act out {make sure they are clean please!} and we'll take pictures of our favorite ones and post them for you on Monday. Ok, let the play acting begin! :-)

You and Troy just discovered that Peyton made the family breakfast...served on the floor, milk included.

You're in the delivery room, and lo and behold little Chloe isn't a Chloe at all. She's a Calvin (or some other boy name)!

You and Troy are on a blind date (pretend you don't know each other) and Troy is instantly head over heels, but you are not one bit interested.
