Clown Car Bag™
We were at a bar, "which almost never happens." We decided to play another new bar game. This new game is played by reaching in to your ladies' tote bag and pulling out whatever is in there, one handful at a time, alternating between bag owners. The game is called The Clown Car Bag Game. Or just "Clown Car Bag" because I know "The Clown Car Bag Game" might be a mouthful for some of you. This game may be played by 1 or more people. Drinking recommended. Ages 15 and up. Best played in a public place.
Below is a visual of a two-person round of Clown Car Bag (larger version here), and the "scorecard." You can tell a lot about a person by what they carry around with them. Or, what they don't! That's part of the fun of Clown Car Bag! In this example, for instance, "BLUE" is obviously very smart, but also clearly has some ailments, which are perhaps psychosomatic given the apparent preoccupation with mental illness and disaster, and she may also even be over the age of sixty-five. BLUE is also probably female, and still has a somewhat active sex life, as much as one is able at that age. "PINK" - obviously female - is clearly a fan of the stage. PINK also may be impulsive, somewhat vain, probably doesn't know how to read very well, and doesn't seem to be getting laid. Possibly quite mentally ill. Perhaps PINK is a patient of BLUE. Why they would be drinking at a bar together and playing Clown Car Bag is anybody's guess.
See how fun!? While the results of the game may vary - that is, number of items, type of each individual item, and size per item per player - pretty much everyone wins!
