The I'm Game

The I’m Game is something for which I cannot take credit. In fact, it’s the brainchild of an ex-boyfriend from college. He wore fingerless leather gloves and liked to pretend he was a pirate named Redbeard. Yeah, I don’t know. My taste in men is…eclectic.

The Game goes something like this: say you are watching TV, and you see a trailer for a movie and at the end the trailer says “This movie is coming soon to a theatre near you!” you’d say, “I’m coming soon to a theatre near you!”

Dumb, I know. But you will start playing it. You don’t want to, but trust me, you will. And then you will be addicted.

I’ve got everyone in the office playing it now, even the new guy, who thought it was the dumbest thing he’d ever heard and refused to play ever. Now he can’t stop. One day someone was eating Mexican for lunch, and said “This is so hot and spicy!” And one of us called out “I’m so hot and spicy!” You get the idea. Trust me, there have been ones that are much more funny and risqué, but I can’t remember them at the moment. I’ll start writing them down.

Well, wasn’t this a thrilling entry? Aren’t you glad you stopped by? Coming Soon: Why I Like Star Trek (And No, I Am NOT A Trekkie!). I bet you are all dying to hear that one!

As an added bonus, I’ve decided to include a cool link in each of my postings, just to make things a little more interesting. Today’s link was going to be this (I managed to stump it with Brisco County, Jr.), but for some reason that site won’t load on my computer (probably because I am still using dial up. What can I say, I’m cheap.). So anyway, today’s link instead will be How to Talk Like a Pirate. Don’t forget, September 19 is Talk Like a Pirate Day! Thanks to Mr. I at work for sending this along.

Peace out, y’all.

Figured I would check out your blog, as you were good enough to comment on mine. I've been writing a lot more since I started it. I imagine the next few entries will be a little less dire, but it was on my mind and the words just kept coming. So already the blog is helping!

Looks like you're just starting out as well. I found the first entry was the hardest, and now I'm thinking of what to write while I'm at work. So I'll either be published or fired. Might be a net gain.

Best of luck with it and keep writing!
