Stay Entertained on Long Bus Rides

Step 4: Invent a Game!

Sometimes I have random, creative ideas for games. Whether or not it really works out is usually a fluke. Here is the story of Spearmint Rhino:

I was sitting for over 10 hours on a coach bus full of teenage band geeks when I noticed a billboard for a gentlemen's club called Spearmint Rhino. I thought to myself, this is the most ridiculous name I've ever heard. It's as if someone picked a noun and an adjective and threw them together. This is the basic premise of the game I then invented, Spearmint Rhino. One person will think of any adjective and say something along the lines of "I have an adjective!" Then, someone else should think of any noun and say something such as "Okay, I have a noun." Person 1 says the adjective aloud, and person 2 says the noun right after the adjective. Then anyone listening or participating can decide what this invented name is. For example, it is a band, dance club, clothing store, bakery, alcoholic beverage, etc. This game can go on forever, because the pool of words is so large!
