I just got back from a birthday gathering at Lara's house. We played "the name game" for entertainment. Now i have never played this game before, but i did see it before on an episode of Sports Night. Everyone writes down several names on individual slips of paper. These names are of famous people, real or fictional. All the slips are thrown into a bowl as the players are divided into two teams. One person from each team takes turns getting their teammates to say as many names as possible (exactly as they appear in the paper) without resorting to spelling or rhyming in forty five seconds.When time elapses, the unguessed name in thrown back into the bowl; there is no passing. If you don't know who the person, you must break the name down into parts or syllables. I though it was funny who many times the first name "steve" came up and how often we used "Mr Guttenberg's first name" as the clue.
