FEDERGORIES

Thursday February 26
by Angelfowl (ghost-written by Hazed)

Four people joined me to play this week's Federgories: Andrew, Jezz, Kalandra and Squeeky.

I started off by offering a big thanks to my mom, who came up with the categories for this game in just five minutes. Awesome! Then I read out the rules and we go going.

Because I was about to go on a trip (which is why I had to bribe the demi-goddess to ghost-write this report for the Fed2 Star) I chose travel as the theme for the week.

In the first round, I asked for "Things you would take on a business trip." Kalandra said, "workout clothes," Squeeky said, "toilettries," Jezz said, "secretary" and Andrew said, "book."

Next, I wanted to know "Things you would take on a family Vacation." Kalandra said, "ear plugs," Squeeky said, "pet mices," Jezz said, "my own pillow" and Andrew said, "Jack Daniels."

For our first Fed round, I asked the players to tell me their "Favorite vacation spot in the Sol System." Kalandra said, "sierpinsky lounge," Squeeky said, "earths wilderness," Andrew said, "Kitchen on Phobos" and Jezz said, "Jerrits mad house."

Squeeky gave the same answer to my next question, which was "Places to go on your honeymoon." Not very romantic! Andrew's answer was also a little bit off the wall:

Your comm unit signals a tight beam message from Andrew, "tiajuana"
Your comm unit relays a message from Angelfowl, "Andrew... weird place :P"
Your comm unit relays a message from Andrew, "I'm playing to win, not to impress ;)"

We followed this with a question inspired by Homeland Security: "Things you SHOULDN'T try to take on a plane with you." Squeeky said, "young kids," Kalandra said, "tshirt that says "I'm A Terrorist"," Andrew once again surprised with, "a mistress" and Jezz said, "a sword." Nobody said bombs - as Andrew pointed out, it was too obvious.

Next we had, "Fed Planets to take a business trip too," which gave these answers: Kalandra said, " Karnak," Andrew said, "restuarant row," Squeeky said, "kingdom :)" and Jezz said, "asylum."

We learnt a little two much when I asked about "Things you wished you HADN'T done on Spring Break," and were told that Andrew, "over slept," Jezz, "that movie part," Squeeky, "wore a t shirt saying im a terriost :)" and Kalandra, "drank 22 mojitos in a row."

This was followed by "Things you see that tells you the hotel is "Too Cheap" and "The Fed planet you'd most likely take a vacation too" and then it was time for the bonus round: "Where NOT to go on your DREAM vacation ;)"

Kalandra said, "home, to the dmv, to the irs, board meetings, fishing in pool, swiming with aligators, flea circus, fed, and beer shopping in dry state."
Andrew said, " tijuana, texas, florida, oregon, mississippi, maine, chicago, new york, washington, Utah, and nevada."
Jezz said, " glasgow. zimbabwe, andrew's house, the bar down the street, new jersey. bolivia, russia, sanitaria, birminham."
Squeeky said, "a buffet, room without a view ,backyard ,frontyard, bathroom, center of the earth, litterbox."

And so I worked out the scores and announced the winners:

Third place with 18 points... Squeeky ^^
In second place with 21 points each... Jezz and Kalandra!
In first with 23 points.... ANDREW

Congratulations, and thanks to everyone who came out to play. Join us next week for another Federgories!
