geek games
since i got such positive feedback on the "get someone to say a word" game, here's another for you. it's courtesy of my lovely friend traci, who's in-laws seriously need to adopt me. [i'm serious! call me! i'm cheap!]

they call it the "I'm Hiding" game. basically, you pick a global landmark for a location. then say, "i'm hiding somewhere in the world. yes or no questions, please." you'll get the standard hemisphere questions to guide the search, and then anything goes. "are you hiding in a former eastern bloc nation?" "are you hiding in the largest inland body of water in central america?" yes, that one was erik.

for example: the other night, erik was hiding in the Hoffbrauhaus in München. and i was hiding in the coast guard base in Kodiak, Alaska.

i'm completely addicted to geography trivia right now. let's all stop laughing. this is far healthier than say, controlled substances or Alias.
