Family game night

Family game night is one of my all time favorite nights!  We are extremely competitive and laugh the entire night. My favorite game is Scattergories, if you are not familiar with the premise of this game - everyone gets identical lists, you roll the die to select 1 letter everything on the list must begin with the designated letter, set the timer, and try to complete the list before time runs out.  The challenge is writing down something no one else in the room writes down.  Being a very close family that spends a lot of time together, results in many like minds.  On occasion, and more often than we would like to admit, the answers to the list are not quite what the makers of the game had in mind. 

Here are some examples of our nonsensical answers:
LIST          LETTER          SILLY ANSWER
A desert                 G             Gello    (not Jello she actually wrote Gello)
Foreign city            F              Frankfort, IL    (not Germany but Illinois)
Something metal     L              Lead     (umm, Lead is made of LEAD)
In the sky               J               Juniper     (not Jupiter - yes folks Juniper)
Famous person      C              Telly Savalas   (no comment)
Name a state         P               Phoenix    (we went to public school)
Street name           J                June bug   (no, not GANG name - sigh)

I am pretty sure alcohol consumption plays a large role in all of these answers, but they are all hilarious!
