Girl 1: Okay. (Rummaging around in a fishbowl with slips of paper.) This time we start off with... Joan Cusack?!?
Guy 1: Man. This one's gonna be easy.
Girl 1: And we end with... (More rummaging.) Brad Pitt!
Girl 2: (drunken sigh of absolute lust)
[Debate ongoing for 15 minutes without coming to an answer]
ZZZ-List Blogger: Oh for God's sake. You got Cusack and Robin Williams in Toys, Williams and Edward Norton in Death To Smoochy, and Norton and Pitt in Fight Club! There's your connection, and I only needed three movies for it! So do I get that beer? And why the hell are you trying to go through Nicole Kidman and Diane Weist in Practical Magic?
[crickets]
Guy 3: Yeah. Ummm. This is a private game.
[Insert group migration here]
Fifteen minutes later...
Girl 2: Oh. Here's that beer for winning that round.
ZZZ-List Blogger: Thanks! I was just joking about the beer, you know.
Girl 2: I thought so. That's why I wrote my number on the bottom!
[Insert double-take.]
[Insert 2-hour conversation.]

Happy now-belated 4th!
