If you've never played scattergories, turn off your computer, go to target, buy scattergories, play it, then come back and finish...we'll wait......... Welcome back.
So last night our life group had some prime rib and blue cheese potatoes and then played scategories and there are a few "answers" that we are in debate about and you the reader are going to be the final word. Please do not take this light hearted; this is serious business...the game is on the line! Here are some semi-questionable answers, let me know what you think.
1. letter "H" category "animal": Hello Kitty and Hairless Cat
2. letter "H" category "language": Hongkongees
3. letter "H" category "people in uniform": Harassers, Hippies, Harold (at the time wearing an army shirt and camo pants)
4. letter "H" category "hobbies": Ho-ing (not like in the garden)
5. letter "H" category "things that grow": Hills (argument="you can make a mountain out of a mole-hill")
6. letter "T" category "school supplies": Teacher and Trapezoid (supply or shape?)
7. letter "T" category "things cold": Temple (but he thought it was "things gold"...really, gold temples?)
8. letter "P" category "tools": Periscope...is that not a tool used to see from under water!?!
9.letter "P" category "desserts": Plum Pie, Peach Pie, Pineapple Pie, Persimmon Pie, and just Pie...do any of those answers score?
10.letter "P" category "farm animals": Pigeons... PIGEONS! ...EVERYONE AT THE TABLE AGREED THAT A PIGEON IS A FARM ANIMAL!!!
this is rediculous.

note: none of the questionable, argumentive ones were mine.....
I own people in Scattegories. Anytime...bring it!
First of all, tell your wife I miss playing games with her cheating self.
Especially scattergories, she is ingenious and relentless.
Second, I will try to be a voice of reason because I know how seriously you are taking this.
1. Hello Kitty is a cartoon's name not an animal. Snoopy, Woodstock, Garfield, the smurfs... all unacceptable answers as an animal. Unfortunately (for the animal) a hairless cat is legit. Google it.
2. Hongkongeez? Tell Rebecca she is full of crap and although funny, also pathetic. She can do better.
3. Harold is the only one up for grabs. I would give it to them for creativity as long as he is wearing an actual military shirt, not some Wal-mart camo.
4. NO. just stop. (rebecca)
5. Things that grow... Hills? Negative on that one, hills erode.
6.Upgrade Teacher, definite school supply. Downgrade Trapezoid. (see #4)
7. Come on! Anyone who mistakes the question then still tries to get credit for an already crappy answer should get negative points!
8. Absolutely. A periscope is a useful tool.
9. Sadly I think they all deserve credit. But whoever wrote pineapple should hang their head in shame. You know who you are.
10. Pigeons?!?!? Sean I really feel for you bro, that you have to play games without a single sensible person in the room just breaks my heart. Tell me, what role does a pigeon have on a farm? Can you milk a pigeon? Raise a pigeon and sell it's meat? Has anyone every had a pigeon egg omelet? Does it protect or corral the other farm animals, wake the farmer or even make coffee????
The answer, in case someone is still trying to make a case, is a resounding NO.
Don't worry my friend, you are not alone. Sensible people (who still appreciate creativity) are out there and we hear you bro, loud and clear. Hold on, we are coming.
