While their tasks are aligning their minds are deciding

Do you like to doodle? Do you bore easily? If so, I've got the perfect activity* for you to try.

First you take a piece of paper (or in this case, a bar napkin), fold it in half, and draw something on the bottom half of it. Be careful not to let anyone else see what you're drawing.

Once you're finished with your half of the picture, keep it folded but mark the locations where parts of your drawing end so the person who draws the top half will know where to begin.

Then, hand the paper/napkin to one of your friends, and have them complete the picture without knowing what you drew on the bottom.

Here are the results from when I recently played this game with some of my friends:

Sumo Ballerina


Hard Luck Alien Duck


Charlie Brown Cheerleader Chick


Alien EggShell Halibut Man


Fortune Telling Mer-Bird


I don't even know what this is








*It's the perfect thing to do whether you're chilling out with friends at the bar, sitting with your family in church, or trying to avoid falling asleep in class.

btw, I thought of "stalking" you too, but we were only in L.V long enough to get a car and get out.

When I drink at the bar I usually end up tearing the cardboard beer mat into teeny bits. I tear up all of them at the table and make a mountian. I think it must be a nervous habit. I should try this drawing thing instead and see where that goes.

Good stuff. The sumo ballerina is my favorite, although any of them are far more advanced than I could draw as stick figures extend beyond my reach. Ugly.

Very clever. I could see this idea being fleshed-out into a website game.
