a time killing word game called "scrapegoats". people take turns saying a real word (scrabble rules) with a single extra 'r' in it. if you hesitate, say a word without exactly one extra 'r', or mess up pronouncing the "scrapegoat" (which is what you call the words with an extra "r"), you are eliminated.

I actually think games might be a lucrative place to direct one's bad ideas. That horrifying monstrosity of a 'game' which I serially refuse to play where you try to pronounce words through Cronenbergian oral stirrups seems to be taking off like a shooting star.

Do both the initial word and the extra-r word have to be valid? I guess "scrapegoat" isn't a real word but both "scape" and "scrape" are. Can I just break out any old thing during this drinner party entertainment?

Every time people have tried to get me to play it I'm like, not only is there no possibility of that ever happening while I'm both conscious and alive, your eagerness to indulge in this effrontery of nature has me rethinking our continued association.

xp the scrapegoat should not be a real word. i think you are eliminated if the new scrapegoat is (in total, not parts) a real word.

Please when you are writing the instructions, include variations of the phrase 'I think' as often as possible.

if a player makes the mistake of inserting two extra 'r's, i think they are not only eliminated, they are said to have "Groats Disease" (because they made a "scrapegroat")

Cronenbergian stirrups? I seriously do not know to what you refer.
There has been a vogue for children's games where a strong chance of humiliation and/or discomfort is the object - Wet Head, Shark Bite, Pop the Pig, Facepie...
But I know nothing about what grownups do for "fun" anymore except commiseration, sex, and drinking (all of which are way more fun than Pictionary or whatev).

ROBERT PALMER: Look, chap, I know this isn't my "jurisdiction," but I wear ties and you wear ties. We both have the same goals in mind, now don't we?
EDDIE MONEY: Fair enough. But listen – we don't bow to the Queen here in New York City. We might both wear ties, but keep in mind this is my joint, ok?
PALMER: I wouldn't dream of intruding.
[MONEY reaches into overflowing file cabinet and pulls out a folder. Tosses it to PALMER, who barely catches it.]

a different version of golf called "garf." the rules of garf are exactly the same as those of golf, but a much stricter dress code is enforced in all club houses and courses. absolutely no casual wear shall be permitted. the garf itself is playacted in a public park or other open space.

look, i could try to sell you on garf in this thread all day. but i think it's best we just put on kilts, don our paddy caps, lace up our cleats, grab a club (fallen tree branch), and get garfing. once you make your first solid contact with a garf ball (it is imaginary), you'll be hooked. I shot a miserable 98 this weekend and missed my son's birthday while doing so. the damn garf ball was attracted to hazards (innocent people in the park). but i'd be out there again today if not for this damned desk job (i'd rather be garfing).
