Introducing... 'Context'
You can play with your friends... with your family... anyone!
It's called 'Context'.
No board, no dice... depending on the level of play, perhaps some physical violence, it has everything.
you can play anywhere, anytime. Introduce as many people to the game.
This game proves you are quick thinking, are a good listener.
The game is best explained in a scenario:
The scene: You and a couple of buds are enjoying your burgers and clotting your arteries over the lunch hour.
The characters: Huma, Gazoo and introducing Specs.
Huma: Man this burger is good.
Gazoo: Yeah, I'm finding mine pretty tasty.
Specs: My kids eat way too much.. putting in to the poor house.
Huma: Hey! You didn't get a Whopper! What is that?
Gazoo: Pretty good. (chew chew chew.. swallow). I just finished an egg nog latte before lunch. I wonder how this is going to 'turn out'?
Huma: CONTEXT! Describe a scene or situation and repeat what you just said.
Gazoo: Why the hell would I? Is this going on that stupid blog? Eat your food.
Huma:Specs, shouldn't he play?
Specs: Yes he should, now let me eat.. I'm not sure this'll ever happen again... having food in front of me.
Gazoo: Fine.. Ok.... Uhhhh. An artist is in a studio about to start painting agin after having a latte. "I just finished an egg nog latte before lunch. I wonder how this is going to turn out?"
In this case - point Gazoo. He gave a context in which his phrase made sense.
If however he couldn't come up with one, or started chuckling, then point to me.
I'm kinda beat right now, and need to nap and get up in a bit to check on a work thing. I'll update this blog with more rules, and strategies to 'Context'.

C-toon approached me at work and asked about how this game works. Interestingly enough I was able to explain after your "I'm really wet" example. Thanks again for that!
