My new favorite game...

I discovered my new favorite game last weekend.  I originally got the idea from my sister and her friend a long time ago, but I haven't been a position to try it until now.  I'll tell you now, you will most likely think it sounds stupid and pointless when I describe it, but don't judge until you try it.

Step 1:  Find some cheap paper towels (or expensive, if you have money to burn; although, if that's the case, still buy cheap paper towels and send me a check for the difference :)
Step 2:  Turn your ceiling fan on high.
Step 3:  Tear one of the paper towels off the roll and run it under water in the sink.  Squeeze it a little so that it's still sopping wet, but not dripping too much.
Step 4:  In the time it took you to prepare your paper towel, the fan should have reached the desired speed: "As-fast-as-it-will-go."  Toss the wet paper towel at the whizzing fan blades.
Step 5:  Laugh hysterically as the wet paper towel splats somewhere unexpected on the wall.  The noise is probably the funniest part (unless, of course, the paper towel ends up hitting a friend in the face...that would be funnier).
Step 6:  Repeat steps 3-5 until you run out of paper towels, or until someone responsible enters the room and requires you to cease fire and clean up your mess.

If you're lucky, you might end up with your room looking as awesome as this...


What makes the game even funnier is leaving the paper towels up for your roommate to find the next day.  A few disclaimers though...1) It may screw up your drywall 2) it will definitely mess up any posters that aren't framed if you leave the paper towels on it all night (see the poster on the left side of the picture above) 3) the floor will end up getting wet, so don't slip.

As someone who cares about the environment, I realize this game is a big waste of paper towels, so I wouldn't recommend playing this game regularly.  But whenever you're feeling down and need a good laugh, grab a paper towel or two, get them wet, and chuck them at the fan :)

  1. We used to cut up grapes and throw them into the fan...probably not as fun as the paper towels, but still a satisfying thud when they hit the wall. =)

  2. Haha, Hannah and I liked to slowly squish grapes so that the juice squirted out the hole where the grape had been connected to the vine. We did it at the Massanutten ski lodge with our ski boots on lol.
