As soon as we have the right number of digits, I’ll explain the game.
4 (and some more characters for the filter)
6 (six)
Index finger.
I assume 1. That right?
7 (seven)
Nueve
4, again. (I thought it up before I opened the thread if that matters.)
In piano, the index finger is finger number 2. Also medical terminology, “digitus secundus.” But not on the guitar, where it’s 1, at least on the left hand. On the right, it’s known as I, which is the roman numeral for 1. So, split the difference, and call the index finger 1½.
+8
5.0
Zero.
Okay! Here’s the deal. What we have here is a phone number 462-7948 (or 461-7948, either will work) and now we need anybody who wants to play to do a reverse lookup in your area code and find the SURNAME that goes with that number. Not the full name, just the last name. If we don’t get any hits, then drop the first digit and add the next one to come in and try again.
Post those surnames for the next phase of the game.
I see in preview we now have 5 and 0 to work with.
Cooley
Know anybody by that last name?
Or Harris
Benfield
a Cell phone (won’t let me find name)
Foster
Since this is a game, I’m going to move it from MPSIMS to the Game Room.
Ellender
As the next phase (keep those phone number surnames coming in, please) think of anybody you know personally with the last name among this list:
Cooley
Harris
Benfield
Foster
Ellender
Give us the first name of your acquaintance with one of these names. Just the first name.
I’ll give two that come to mind immediately:
Dennis
Glenn
Now, if you can see where this is going, the object is for this more-or-less random process to yield a relative of yours. Once we get that hit, just identify the relationship without giving the actual name of the relative.
Let me just say that there are no combinations of ANY first names with ANY of these surnames that will get to any relatives of mine.
The closest I can get are some co-workers and such.
