FEDERGORIES

Thursday August 7
by Angelfowl

This week I had one of my biggest groups yet! Six people took time out of their busy schedules to join me for Federgories. After going through the rules, we started the game.

Our first category was: "Things you would find in a bakery starting with... R." Bastile and Queenmommy both said "rolls," Kalandra said "rolling pin," Congene said "rubard pie," Andrew said "roaches" and Bourbon said, "raison pastry."

Next we had: "Things you would find in a deli starting with... P." Bastile said "pickle," Congene said "pepperoni," Kalandra said "peperoncini (little green peppers)," Queenmommy said "pickle loaf," Bourbon said "pastrami" and Andrew said "paper towel."

Our first Fed round was: "Fed player starting with... D." Bastile, Kalandra and Queenmommy all said "dreed," Congene said "dontattaglia," Andrew said "dinger" and Bourbon said, "doncorlenone."

All in all I think Dreed must be very popular!

Then we had: " Things you might find in a shoe store starting with... G" and then: "Things you might find in a library starting with... C" (someone asked if Crazed-old ladies would work for that one) and then: "Fed system starting with... J." Most of them - four out of six people - said "Java System." Who knew Joe was so popular? The other two said "Jungle" and " Japan."

Then we had: "Things you might find in a jewelry store starting with... N" and "Things you find at a WAL-MART starting with... K." And our final Fed round was: "Fed planet starting with... A." Andrew and Bourbon both said, "acuminata," Congene said "Absolute," Kalandra said "ainokea" and Queenmommy said, "amora."

Then it was time for everyone's favorite round - the bonus round! After going through how the bonus round worked, I gave them the category:

"Things a sales person would say to make a sale!"

And then I got these for answers:

Congene said: "I'll give you my shirt, I'll have to ask the manager, is THAT your trade-in, I can't make that deal miss. My kids need to eat, please please I'm begging you. if you want it that bad you'll pay for it, all I'm asking for is for you to buy the damn thing!, will you hurry up already my wife is naked!"

Queenmommy said: "how may I help you, special low price, we have layaway, apply for our credit card?, that looks lovely on you!, your wife would love that!, don't forget about her birthday! store closes in 5 minutes, hurry!"

Andrew, "I bought one myself.....guaranteed......10% discount.......The color looks good on you.....perfect fit......."

Kalandra said: "its one of a kind, sale ends soon, quantities are limited, we can't hold this price forever, I'll make you a deal, limited time only, tax title license not included. can only increase in value"

Bourbon said: "buy it or not, would you like that gift wrapped, cash or credit, that looks so good on you, would you like matching shoes, call me later"

Bastile said: "anything, cant live with out it, life is easier, let me give u a demonstration, please"

And after tallying up the final scores they were:

Bastile in fifth with 9 points
Bourbon in fourth with 13 points
Andrew and Queenmommy in third place with... 14 points each
In second with 15 points... Kalandra
And finally in first with 17 points... Congene

Thanks everyone for playing tonight, and come next week to another game of Federgories!
