Roadtrip entertainment needed

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share

Next Friday, Mrs. dewgrrl and myself embark on a cross-country migration of dykely proportions. Complete with a u-haul trailer hitched to a Subaru Outback, 1 to 2 dogs (depending on if her Mom decides she wants to adopt Bailey from us) and two lesbians.

On Friday we’re driving the 6-7 hours from Bismarck ND to Minneaopolis and staying the night with her sister and brother-in-law. On Saturday, we’re going to try and make it the 17-18 hours from Minneapolis to Atlanta in one shot, taking turns driving.

I’m looking for some engaging, brain-teasing, thought and conversation provoking activities for us on our journey. Not that I think we’ll ever run out of things to talk about. We just might get a little braindead and need a small nudge now and then to keep the synapses firing.

Stupid cheesy surveys. Stupid cheesy brain teasers. Stupid cheesy 20 questions type stuff. Stupid cheesy “101 things you never knew about your lover” type stuff.

You get the drill.

Extra credit will be provided for suggestions other than the stupid cheesy variety.

The “Initials Game” is always good to kill a few minutes. You think of a famous person, give the initials (let’s say T.J.), and your friend asks “Yes or No” questions until she can figure it out. Example:

Her: “Is this a man?”
You: “Yes.”
“Living?”
“No.”
“Actor?”
“No.”
“In politics?”
“Yes.”
“Former president?”
“Yes.”
“Is it Thomas Jefferson?”
“Damn, that was quick. Your turn.”

Even if you don’t use this suggestion, good luck to you and Mrs. dewgrrl as you start your new life together!

Roadtrip version of the board game Encore. Pick a word from a road sign, or maybe turn on the radio and pick a word you hear. You and your partner take turns thinking of songs that have that word in them. The trick is you have to be able to sing at least 8 consecutive words of the song (the buzz word being in that phrase).

Example: “road”

On the road again, I just can’t wait to get on the road again
Walk down that lonesome road, all by yourself

Do yourself a favor and don’t do the word “you.” It will never, ever stop!
