July 15, 2002 - This weekend, a couple of friends and I invented a wonderful new parlor game... Cell Phone Roulette. The rules are simple enough... First, drink plenty of alcohol. This is a necessity so that the game will have some personality. Second, when properly drunk, hand your cell phone to one of your friends. Your friend then must scroll down the numbers programmed into your phone and, without looking, stop on one. You are then required to call whomever came up and explain to them why you are calling them in a drunken haze. The comedy is magnified if you play at a ridiculous hour (Saturday we played at 1:30 in the morning).
       
        This game may not sound like much at first look. How embarassing could it possibly be, you may ask? Think for a moment about who you have programmed into your cell phone...your parents, certainly. A boss? A co-worker? An ex? A potential hook-up? A former hook-up gone horribly wrong whose number you haven't gotten around to erasing yet?  I have at least one example of all of those in my phone. Do you have an international phone number programmed in? One of my friend had a girl's Australian phone number programmed in. That could get expensive. The one key rule that I forgot to mention is that no vetoes are allowed...if a number comes up, you must call it.  
       
            This game can present a number of problems...for example, we played it on consecutive nights and I had to call the same former co-worker both nights. I'm sure she thinks I'm stalking her. On the bright side, she was drunk the second night as well, and told me that she was thrown up on stage to enter a thong contest earlier in the night. Unfortunately, she had to withdraw at the last minute..for lack of underwear. I didn't remember all too much on Sunday morning, but some things just aren't forgotten.
