I had thought of posting this on wordplay but it is impossible to play on the computer. I just like the sound of it.
I read that a popular party game at the height of the Japanese Empire was the perfume game. A perfume would be passed around for everyone to smell. Each person would then invent a name and write a haiku about the perfume and then they would vote on the best one.
A little classier than the party games we played in university!

Yah, "Spin the Bottle" has all the gentility and sophistication of a frat party.

we had one with quarters and beer. but I don't remember any poetry. well, I don't remember much of it at all. though I'm guessing our language got fairly syllabic. mono-syllabic.

Wasn't there some drinking game called "Pink Elephant"? Seems you had to answer questions or perform actions...and if you were incorrect or couldn't perform the required action, you had to drink more...???
