Don't go to this site.

Seriously, don't. It's maddeningly slow. It's also insanely addictive. You're ever so much better off not visiting.

The concept is that Person #1 describes something on a virtual Post-It note. Person #2 sees that description, and draws it on a new note, using basic drawing tools. Person #3 sees only that drawing, and describes it. Person #4 sees only the latter description and draws it, and so on, until a set number of notes is reached, after which everybody gets to see the whole thing.

At that point, they see how "Facebook and MySpace have a cat fight" becomes "Planters peanuts mascott and banana mascott having beers." or An ad for 1-800-SAFE-AUTO morphs into "cowboy on a horse shooting a tree with blue clouds on top." To pick two random examples.

Totally ridiculous stuff. Complete waste of time. No reason to go there. Save yourself.

We play telephone pictionary all the time at parties. It's hilarious. One of the best party games ever.

This game has spread like wildfire through my friends and family.
I love when you're introducing it to new people, the first round is always hesitant and awkward. But as soon as the first round is completed, and the steps are clear, everyone seems to understand and gets very exited.

We call it the 'Kenny Game', because my cousin, Kenny, was the one that taught it to us.

OK, thanks for the advice. I won't.
