Just returned from the bon voyage party at Spider Monkey’s desk. As a parting gift to our road-tripping friend, Laura and I helped assemble a list of Eric-friendly conversation topics for SM to draw from on the long drive to Denver. Below is an abridged version (several items had to be redacted to 1) protect the innocent, and 2) keep FB family-friendly). Feel free to add additions in the comments section. Please.
- Tell me about your workout/diet regime (should take up about two hours).
- Inform Eric that his ubiquitous straw cowboy hat will probably not make the return trip home (this statement was placed under the topic heading “Bad Hat”).
- So, Barack? (to be used only in case of a five-minute-plus lull in conversation).
- For which celeb(s) do you have a pass from your wife?
- Can I read all your text messages?
- iPhone vs. BlackBerry (EC just converted back to the iPhone after abandoning the original model for a BlackBerry.)
- What did you do with your Vegas poker winnings?
- Play Truth or Dare (to be conducted only after dusk).
- Trade phones and make prank calls/texts.
- Tell me some stories about working in journalism back in the day (feign interest long enough until Truth or Dare can be played).
