Here's a simple little game I came across on another site.
I start off saying "The person below me" and then finish the statement.
The next person to post will then say if that is true or false. You can even give a little history.
Then they will make a statement about the person below them and so on ...
I'll start.
The person below me has never been to Disneyland.

The person below me has never been to Disneyland. True. I also have never been to Disneyworld, or to Florida, for that matter. I have been to Universal Studios in LA, where we stood for-e-ver in line for the ET ride, only to have it break down just as we got to the front. We loved the back-lot ride, where the water comes rushing down toward the bus. The following is one I'm guilty of myself.  The person below me has at least one straw hat with a big "silk" flower attached. |

The person below me has at least one straw hat with a big "silk" flower attached. False--but I did have one that matched that description years ago. I got it at Disneyland, ironically. It was a Mary Poppins hat. The person below me has only lived in one state. |

False -- but the distance between the town in Connecticut where I grew up and New York City was a mere 30 miles. Almost like one! The person below me took tap dancing lessons.  |

The person below me took tap dancing lessons. True--but I was only only five at the time and retained nothing from the experience. I was too clumsy for most forms of dancing as a child. Even my gymnastics teacher told me I had "the sloppiest legs in town." I think she was referring to my inability to keep them straight and together when I did a headstand. But I used to be very bendy! I just had no control over my arms and legs. The person below me likes to eat M&Ms sorted by color. |

False. Any old color is just fine -- as long as there's chocolate inside!
The person below me saw Doubt.

The person below me saw Doubt. Oh yes, yes yes yes, four times and you really don't want me to go on and on about it. The person below me has been to Europe. |

The person below me has appeared on television. True, but not voluntarily. I had had "such a long day," flying up to Central California and back for a deposition, and just wanted to find my car in the parking lot at Lindbergh Field's commuter terminal and go home. Suddenly there was a very bright light shining directly in my eyes -- I couldn't see anything else and had no clue what was going on. I finally made it past the light and went home. I only found out the next morning the local ABC affiliate (naturally! :  had done a story on the (then) new commuter terminal -- featuring me! Sorry for the long-winded story. The person below me has had a "close encounter" with a "celebrity" (other than RE). |

That's so funny! Something like that happened to me. There was a rapist loose in the area (he had even been seen in my apartment building) and everyone seemed to know about it but me. I was filmed walking home from work, listening to my music and seeming not to have a care in the world. The local news used me as an example of how women in the area shouldn't be out walking alone until the guy was caught. Several teachers where I worked saw it and told me about it the next day. But back on topic! The person below me has had a "close encounter" with a "celebrity" (other than RE). True. Lunch with Kirk Douglas, encounter with Michael Keaton at a party, several Star Trek actors at a Cancer Society fund raiser, Mr. T at Cedars Sinai Cancer Center, and sightings galore. It happens in LA. The person below me gets extremely irked while driving. |

Yep, that would be me! I only get irked for good reason, like doing 25 while trying to merge into traffic already doing 65 or better or speeding through a school zone and then slowing down in a regular speed zone! I like to talk while I'm driving - and these are not social conversations! If I wasn't transporting passengers of minor age, the air in my car would often be as blue as the paint on the outside!
The person below me has won the grand prize in a contest.

The person below me has won the grand prize in a contest. I wasn't planning to play again so soon but...True! I signed up for a website, didn't like it, and forgot about it. Next thing you know, I was the grand prize winner of something I didn't even know I had entered and the prize was $25,000. The Daily News photographed us with the big check and then we were treated to an amazing brunch at The Four Seasons Hotel in Beverly Hills. The money helped us through our first year of marriage considerably. The person below me has been publicly humiliated. |

The person below me has been publicly humiliated. False, (Even if I did I wouldn't admit it, so, no, never publicly humiliated.) The person below me met someone really nice on a "blind" date. |

False! I never actually met anyone on a blind date, per say, more like I'd be out with friends and they'd introduce me to someone they thought I should meet. None of them ever worked - I had to find the one for me on my own! I met my first fiance through work - tripped over him in the lobby of the hotel - quite literally - and loved him deeply 'til the day he died.
And through ups an downs, the guy I met, quite by accident while on vacation in Florida, has now been my husband for 20+ years.
The person below me hates their job.
