Sometimes living in the state of New Hampshire can get pretty boring. In my city, they usually roll up the sidewalks at around 6pm, 5pm when it's Standard time.
There's really not much to do in the state that has been dubbed, "Live, Freeze and Die." I mean sure, we have our usual games like cow-tipping or the occasional game of mailbox baseball. For gosh sakes, someone might even get a hankerin' to play "Let's rent another movie and spend the night alone in the house."
That's why I have come up with a fun, interesting game that I like to call simply one word: "INCORPORATE." It kinda has a nice ring to it, like some of the other one word game names, like "Monopoly," "Parchesi," "Scrabble," "Risk," and "Clue." All of those games are board games; "INCORPORATE" is a game you can play when you're really BORED.
Since I can see no forseeable way to market "INCORPORATE" to the masses, I will share the game with my fellow, loyal ZUG readers.
Here's how the game is played: "INCORPORATE" requires a minium of three players, and a telephone. Two players must be in the same room, while the third is on the other end of the phone. While two people are having a conversation with each other on the phone, the third person begins saying totally off-the-wall things. The person on the phone must "INCORPORATE" these things into their conversation, without telling the caller that they are playing the game.
For example, I could walk in on a friend of mine (if I had any) while he is on the phone with his other friend. They could be talking about anything: fast cars, fast women, or maybe even fast food, and I will say something to my friend like, "toenails."
He must then INCORPORATE that word into his conversation somehow, possibly saying something like this,
"Yes...I am very glad that McDonalds has brought back the McRib sandwich...It tastes yummy, all the way down to my toenails."
He then gets a point.
Next, I could say something like, "Duck-billed platypus."
He must then INCORPORATE that into his conversation, perhaps saying, "Man, Jodi and I were going at it like a pair of Duck-billed platypus last night."
What makes the game funnier, is that you cannot tell the other person on the phone that you are playing the game...they just wonder what the hell you have been smoking, or will eventually think to themselves, "Did he really just say that?"
If you give a word, and the person cannot INCORPORATE it rightly into a conversation....and you are the judge......they lose.
It's particularily fun to play with telemarketers, members of the Rotary looking for donations, survey takers, and pizza shops.
"Yes, I would like one large corned beef and cabbage pizza, with extra toenails, and could you please deliver it to my address at 5 Canola Oil way?
INCORPORATE: The game fast sweeping the nation.

When I first saw the title, I thought this was a new Donald Trump game. The truth is much more awesome of course.

I think this would be funnier if you claimed you had Tourette's syndrome.

Nice article. Since I plan on hanging out with some drunken friends tonight, I think I'll give your game a try.
