Latest Addition to Freaks Activity -- Taboo.

This particular board game was introduced to all of us by Anoop.
A brief introduction to the game – U r given words which u have to prompt to ur team members to guess using clues which do not include certain words which are written at the bottom of the card.

The game was great fun all in all. Some things need special mention. I thought I should archive them on the blog so we remember the newly devised clues forever.

What is NOT – is paint.
As sweet as …. – Jelly
Hockey + Grame Hick is – Hickey
Arsene Wenger – Arson
Claude Makelele + Jayawant Lele – Ukelele
Juventus – Juvenile
Nimbus 2000 – Broom
Prisoner of Azkaban – prison facility (though the right word turned out to be ‘book’)

Also among other points to be mentioned bt the 2 days of fun would be the exemplary sportsman spirit we showed, not ending up even having one spat during the entire duration of the game :-). (I think u can discount the row I had with Goli or Bala occasionally swearing S.O.B) Amongst all of this special mention goes to the DHAMKI that Vishal gave to Srikant – Quoting him on that “G main Dum hai to yahan bol na, Bala ko kya bol raha hai” … Boy ,that dialog has probably has scarred Srikant for life. The after effects of the threat were so dire that Srikant suffered from an attack of headache immediately.:-)

Also include the fact the GOLI (in whose words “Bahut hi simple aur weird si game hai”)never managed to score beyond a negative point or with a bit less exaggeration I would say not more than a couple every time he turned up prompting clues. BTW,with all due respect,COMB is the correct pronunciation, not "cooomb" as u said. Proof -- COMB

Trying to keep the blog short, I end it here with a small request to every Freak who has played the game to at least contribute 2 devised clues.
