I don't like coffee, & I don't like tea.

Week3,?Dailies: Episode16.


We don't like coffee and we don't like tea.


There was a game we played in one of our school holidays - a small group of friends at the back of a pickup truck (probably not borrowed from someone's parent, I can't really remember) - on a christmas break from nerdville.


So the game goes like this: you're meant to take turns on person to person, while the host of the game (the one who knows - or the "cipher") gets to validate if the guesses are correct, like the banker or the house, in poker.


He starts the game with "I like coffee and I like tea."

And the next person, has to create a metaphor, that will break the code.

"I like chiaroscuros, and I like churros."


Wrong.

Next person has a turn, until the rest of the circle of friends, in the pickup truck has had a turn.

At the end of the road, and three hours later, we were cranky with hunger - and the host was fired from the game.

Since we can't figure it out.


Until three hours after Big Bang sa Alabang games, and a load of bar and Christmas fair/ street food later - we were knackered, and super needing of refreshments.


It wasn't about tea, nor coffee.

But what you needed to check was that a bunch of us didn't need to figure it out - to win it.


Also, it took two hours to get to destination, since it was really traffic at Christmas time, so we had a real blast.


(Which was the real point to this.)
