It was a fun night, full of laughs and interesting questions (although some were scandalous!) And Todd and I landed our faces in the post newspaper the next week:
Todd and I had so much fun playing that we decided we wanted to do it again, only this time with our friends. We've got a little group that gets together every Thursday night to watch The Office (it's been Season 3 on DVD lately). Well, we were hosting last Thursday, and made plans to play the game first, and then settle down on the couch for some TV.I found some great questions to ask online, and we had pads of paper and markers out for everyone to record their answers. Then we started thinking about prizes, and Todd and I went a little overboard and "theme-y." Here is what we came up with, from first place on down:
Pam and Jim: the You Were Meant to Be Together awardThey got peanut butter and jelly in their gift bag.
Phyllis and Bob Vance (of Vance Refrigeration): the Sickeningly Sweet award
refrigerated cinnamon rolls
Dwight and Angela: the Secretly Intimate award
sparkling cider
Kelly and Ryan: the More Physical Than Intellectual award
lip gloss and beef jerky
Michael and Jan: the Mysteriously Confusing award
This was awesome! We were searching the aisles of Walmart for something to fit the category, and found those Chiquita Minis that are 1/3 the size of regular bananas. Ha ha ha!
It was a classy evening, if I may say so myself. I think everyone had a great time. We sure did.

Bonners you are having too much fun out there!! You'll have to host the Newlywed Game for us Californians when you get back out to the Pacific Coast. :)
Man, I miss you guys! I'm glad to hear that you two are enjoying ourselves. I can't wait to see you in Florida!
Yeah, um, I mean that I'm glad you hear you two are enjoying YOURSELVES. But frankly, your recent exploits have been so entertaining that you can count this SELF enjoyed.
What a great idea! We used to play the Newlywed game alot, but we never had such fabulous prizes!
I MISS YOU GUYS SO MUCH! What an awesome well thought out game. I want to play.
Okay Bonners, we knew you were fun to hang out with, but we are gaining a whole new appreciation for you via your blog. You guys are hysterical (loved the newspaper spotlight as well!) We really miss hanging out with you guys and are really, really glad you are headed back to CA as well!
This is so funny Angie. You have such a knack for gift giving. Since you are so cool and I suddenly miss you, I am going to give you a special gift on my blog in a couple days. Check it soon (it may take me awhile--I'll have to do some digging).
