When we were in Michigan over Christmas we played celebrity; a game where each person gets 6-10 slips of paper and you write the name of a “celebrity” on each piece of paper. A celebrity is someone that at least three people in the room know… so it could be George Bush or a random family friend. We’ve been playing celebrity for so many years that some names show up almost every time (now we just keep putting them in for traditions-sake). Case in point:
After everyone writes their names they all go in a bowl and you split into two teams. Each person then has one minute to give clues to have their team guess as many people from the bowl as possible. (That’s round 1). Round 2 is the same idea, but you can only say ONE word to get your team to guess the name. Round 2 is much tougher and you better hope you can come up with a good word! :)
Lately we’ve been creating “themes” for our names. Like my dad has done all US senators, my sister did all olympic ice skaters etc.
Well, if you know my husband AT ALL it won’t surprise you that he decided to do a “technology” theme. I know, he’s crazy like that. Some of his names were a little questionable as far as the rule that at least three people need to know who-the-heck-they-are. Two of the names he did were Sergey Brin and Larry Page (founders of Google). Needless to say these aren’t household names everywhere (to Chris’s shock and horror).
Fast forward to his birthday earlier this month. He received this awesome birthday present from my sisters and their husbands:
*Notice they even had it made in Buckeyes colors!
Chris LOVES this shirt and can’t wait to wear it around town. He was also sure that they had ordered this shirt ready-made like this. I had to convince him that they had to actually create this shirt. (I love that he thinks there would be a huge market for shirts that say, “Larry Page and Sergey Brin are my heroes.”)
THANK YOU Britt, Adam, Erica, Drew, and kiddos. Chris LOVES his new shirt. :)
