It's how you play the game

July 9th, 2005 / #family, #funny stories

If you’ve never played The Penis Game, you are either above the age of 20 or a total loser. For those of you who are unfamiliar with the sport, here’s a quick 411:

One person says the word “penis” in a public place. Another person, having accepted Player One’s challenge, then says “penis” at a higher decibel. In variations of the game, another person is generally the unofficial judge and confirms whether or not Player Two’s exclamation was louder. The two players each repeat their turns and the loser is the person who lacks the confidence to continue shouting the sullied word.

Now, my family is a unique bunch. We’ve been playing for years, and my mother is almost always our competition. She never misses a good round of The Penis Game.

Yesterday, the family was in the state capitol, and when we entered the solemn sanctuary known as the Florida Supreme Court, I couldn’t help myself. I nudged my mom and the contest was on.

Though the game was very short lived (as my mother was far too embarrassed to play in such a setting), it was very exciting. Needless to say, after all was said and done, I was the champion. Yes, folks, that’s right – I was the victor in the highest court in the State of Florida.

That’s one down, 49 to go.

    I challenge you, Casey Peterson, to the penis game in a church during mass. Preferrably not a catholic church though, I don’t want the priest to join in because he might take it to another level. I don’t like it when the priest touches me there, one time was enough. But it’s on.

    lol, penis….

    Me and my friend do something similar. One says a random word that shouldnt be said, such as penis, and the other has to have a come back, like vagina. We go back and forth untill the filth of the words become too strong and we bust out in laughter.

    P.S. That was funny Vince.

Sorry, but comments are closed. Some things are best said in a vacuum.

    I'm a nobody from Florida with things to say (sometimes).

  • What This Is

    This is a not-so-detailed account of my adolescence over the course of almost a decade. Here, I shared my thoughts about things of no real consequence while at the same time being reckless with semicolons and flowery language.

    I used this website to connect with folks before Facebook. Today, I sometimes chronicle interesting thoughts and observations I have. I don't update as much as I should.
