So we had our church small group's Christmas party last night. Fun was had by all (although that is the last time that I attempt to keep the Pea out that late...it was World War 3 trying to get him to sleep, 2 hours past his bedtime...I'm a horrible mother)
Anyhoo, we played boys vs. girls Catchphrase (if anyone is unfamiliar with this game, it's like a cross between Password and Hot Potato. Your team guesses the word your describing, and you pass on the little machine. Whichever team is stuck holding the little machine, the other team gets a point. If the other team can guess what you were describing, they get an extra point). Bill had the phrase "Nimbus 2000", and he described it (very well) as Harry Potter's broomstick. So I'm thinking "Nimbus 2000" or "Firebolt". And I'm just writhing to yell them out. He managed to get them to say "2000", so I'm now just squirming to yell "Nimbus 2000! Nimbus 2000!" Blank stares from absolutely every other person in the room. Time runs out, and Bill sighs and says, "It was Nimbus 2000," before I had a chance to yell it. "I KNEW THAT!" Bill sighs again and gave us the point because he knew that, yes, indeed, I did know that. So, yeah, I'm a big dork (and secretly a 14 year old girl).
But the funniest moment of the evening came when it was Jon's turn. I think this is better written out in dialogue form:
Jon: Okay, I think this guy was on Star Trek."
A.J.: Uhhh...David Spade!
Jon: No...
All the Other Guys: Leonard Nimoy, William Shatner, Spock, Captain Picard, ???
The word was "Alex Trebek".
To his defense, A.J. said that he just yelled the first name that came to his mind. I'm not sure that Jon has a good defense on this one.

We had such a good time last night! It was fun to see people come out of their shells. :) My favorite moment was when your word was "rosebud" and instead of describing a rosebud you kept referring to a scene in a movie no one but you and bill had heard of. loved it. :)
Citizen Kane!! It's the #1 AFI movie of all time! Granted, I totally ruined the big "mystery" of the movie if you ever want to see it. :)
