FEDDERGORIES

Saturday September 2
by Robius

It was time again for everyone's favorite game: Feddergories. We managed to pry a few folks away from all the football action on the TV to join us on the channel. Hosting live from the Trader Cafe on Freeze, my darling wife Jessecka assisted me by keeping score and calling time and, of course, poking fun at her husband. We had the usual suspects of Bourbon and Smitty show up, as well as a new face in Dannae. Occy and Icey joined in a few rounds later but still had good showings. Gandolf and Catspaws both tuned in to watch as the action unfolded.

The topic of the night was "End of Summer and Back to school" which lead us to Round 1:

End of the summer means one last blowout party. And with that, I wanna' know everyones favorite party drink...starting letter T

Smitty was more along my lines of thinking with 'tanqueray and tonic', and Dannae came up with the ever tasty 'tang'. Bourbon, obviously, out getting himself an end of summer drink didn't get a response in.

Round 2 gave us 'team sports starting with B' and Round 3 was 'ways to keep warm as the temperature starts to drop':

Your comm unit relays a message from Robius, "Dannae, "Calisthenics" Bourbon, "curling up in front of a fire butt naked" Smitty, "coal fire!""
Your comm unit relays a message from Smitty, "lol coal is HOT"
Your comm unit relays a message from Robius, "Hmm..well, I was looking for combusting spontaneously, but those are acceptable, I suppose. heh"
Your comm unit relays a message from Smitty, "but i like bourbon's answer best ;)"
Your comm unit relays a message from Bourbon, "thank you :)"
Your comm unit relays a message from Jessecak, "ok, I'm having visions of B, doing naked calisthenics in front of a coal fire......::shivers::::"
Your comm unit relays a message from Jessecak, "then BOOM, he combusts spontaneously!"

Trying to get that picture out of my head, I quickly moved to the first Fed-related category of the night in Round 4. Jess being the trouble maker she is pointed out that no one responded with Icey's underpants and that he probably wears a thong anyway. My eyes watering and almost to disturbed to go on, I managed to get through the next few rounds in peace.

It was right around this time that Icey and Occy both showed up. This of course lead to talk of Icey in a thong, but being the clever host I am kept things moving. To the back to school portion of the night, we had Round 8 with best or worst subjects. Smitty claimed science, Bourbon chimed in with skipping school and Dannae told us about sociology of mutants. Makes me wonder where some people went to school.

Round 9 was for the college aged kiddies with university or college names beginning with A. Icey's response of Alabama, the backwards state would have earned him -5 points, but my darling wife informed me that wasn't allowed. Oh well, we moved on to Round 10 and another Fed related category. Going into the bonus round, Icey trailed with 3 points, Dannae was close with 8 and Bourbon and Smitty were tied for the lead with 9 each. After explaining the rules of the bonus round, just to make sure no one had forgotten during the summer layoff, I gave the category of 'Back to School Supplies'.

While the players and viewers chatted amongst themselves I sorted out all the unique answers and announced them on the channel. Jess then tallied the votes and revealed that Smitty was out slithy winner for the night with 12 points. Dannae was close second with 11 and Bourbon was right behind her with 10 points.

After making a snow cone out of Icey for accidentally exiling Jess, I made my way to Earth to pick her up and wrapped up the evening. Congratulations to all our players and thanks to those who tuned in to watch. Join me next week at 10.00pm eastern as once again, it will be my turn to host Feddergories as Jessecka assists.
