Salmon and Scruples

Two Fridays ago, Paul - our current housemate - decided he wanted to grill some salmon. So we made an event out of it!

Way to go Paul!

We had some of Darin's co-graduate students over to eat and play games.

Bonnie and Sergio, Frank, Darin, Paul and I all ate too much food and played this crazy game called Scruples. Has anyone ever heard of this before? My father had gotten it for me as a Christmas presents a couple of years ago from a thrift shop (so my father), and I had it in a closet just gathering dust for awhile. Nobody wanted to play my XMen Monopoly, so Scruples it was. We also horded ourselves on Bonnie's cupcakes.

We ate them all.

Scruples was fun. Basically, you got 5 question cards and 1 answer card. You went around in a circle, one person at a time, and asked someone else one of your question cards with the idea that they will answer the same answer as your answer card. Does this make sense?

An example:

Question Card - If someone is at your door selling something, would you buy that something if you knew the person would leave you alone?

Answer Card - Choice of: Yes, No, or Maybe

So I had the answer card of "Yes", so I asked Darin because I know that he would say yes. And he did, so I got rid of one of my cards.

Ta da! It was fun. Try it.
