A sheep, a werewolf and a walrus walk into a bar.

Kangaroo is like sheep except your answers have to be factually wrong.

If I ask for a comedy movie starring Tom Hanks then you could answer:

Cast Away (not a comedy)
Old School (not starring Tom Hanks)
Bosom Buddies (Not a movie)

you could also answer anything random like "Banana" or even "Shitehawk"

but the aim of the game is the same as sheep where you want to match others. This means answers like the first 3 are probably better than a totally random answer.

Anything that is correct scores 0 for the question.

This time around though the questions are phrases, mottos or even quotes you'd encounter either on the big screen or in everyday life.

I'm looking for you all to complete the phrase, incorrectly of course!!

EG:

_____ In The Name Of

I'm looking for a word to go in front of 'In The Name Of' It could be Dancing In The Name Of, Spitting in the name of, etc etc.

Got it? Let's see...


Sticks & ______
Dancing in the ______
Ring Around The ______
God Save the ______
I Have a _____
Speak of the _______
See a ______ pick it up
______ got your tongue
Once in a ______ moon
A sight for _______ eyes
Kill Two _______ with one stone
Calm Before the _______
Time ________ when you're having fun
I'm gonna make him a ________ he can't refuse
Frankly my dear, I don't give a _______
May the _______ be with you
___________, my dear Watson
_____ and Blood
House of the _____
Rings of _______


So will your wrong answers BOUNCE you to the top?

Or perhaps you will ROO the day you made those selections...

Either way this place should be HOPPING tonight - from 8pm sharp!!

Still time to enter until about 7.30!!

26 people, good numbers

Still think I might ace every question though 🤣

Edit: just remembered I'll be in the pub for the Liverpool match, so I'll miss my terrible performance while watching another....

It's brill getting that many, 20+ is a struggle, maybe some of us still on boards need to try run a simple sheep over there and all put our signatures to 'want more games like this... come for FOG' 😆

A shout out to @Kol - you played one of the Kangaroo games on Boards!

I think we might need Necro to confirm that this won't end up in a 26 way tie on 26 points each!

Ah lorc, there's no doubt a handful of zeros too

Question 2: Dancing in the ______



The Boss provides our second phrase which might spell bad news for one person....


So what did some of you decide to dance in instead?

Mam and I are focused on heating our respective places. Very practical and of the moment ... and very low scoring too. We can always throw the wooden spoons in the fire if necessary.

Excellent plan! Light the fire, make tea and hope that Deja will share the scones with us 😊

I'll take a scone!!

Question 2: Dancing in the ______

Liz drops a clanger and selects the correct answer meaning she gets no points.



Sunlight, Daylight - or just Light - they're all similar enough for me to group them together (not starlight though, sorry Kol!)

Soapy and dave are creating a new Broadway show together it seems while Butty and NNAHere....
