Saturday night game night

Hola a todos,

Tonight we had game night - pasapalabra - it was a lot of fun, and I learned some new words...jeje

....and we definitely had our superstars....Ianta was the big winner of the night, getting three answers right - Buen trabajo!!

...then Territurtle, Lucie, Annie got two words right.....which was actually very good

Unfortunately, I was in a large group that had zero right - ¡¡qué triste!! Unmica, RaulSpaniard, Vicente, and Cory - all of us couldn't get any right....I even got to practice and help prepare - and I still couldn't get any right....

But thanks to everyone - the game was so much fun, and as always, the real superstar was Heidi, who spends her time organizing these chats, and helping all of us improve!!

Apparently I was invisible. It was fun anyway :-) - elainepnj, Jan 15, 2012
I was just looking - I think I forgot a lot of people....Sorry Elaine, Frank, Samdie, and Chileno....sorry...it was late last night - but of course everyone played, and hopefully had a great time... :) - 001a2987, Jan 15, 2012

Thanks everybody, jeje, I do wonder why some people did not understand the rules of this game until the end, jeje

Superfluent speakers like Raúl, Vicente, Mica, samdie (whoo, sam was there!!) , did not get a single word right, and intermediate speakers, like Frankie or Chris neither.

Ianta was the super star, and I must also mention Lucie, she started the game and still got two words right!

Terri and Annie from Australia did really well!!

I stayed up till after 2am, so I hope you all had a good time.

I understood the rules! I did great when it wasn't my turn. When it was my turn I choked up and my mind decided to go on vacation. - elainepnj, Jan 15, 2012
Ahora lo pillo! Quiero intentar de nuevo! Gracias Heidita! :-) - MLucie, Jan 15, 2012

¡Lo realmente era una cantidad increíble de diversión! Y es muy cierto que Heidita fue la estrella. Ella lo hizo tan fácil para mí adivinar, ¡ninguno de los becarios pobres tuvieron los posibilidades! tongue laugh

Y estuve bastante emocionado a fin de aprender algunas palabras nuevas tal como cacha, frases nuevas como 'vamos bregar' y descubir preguntas nuevas como, '¿Qué diablos significa 'PA TA TA'question rolleyes

If you have never attended one of Heidita's chats, remember: "You go in afraid -- and come out laughing," because she keeps an ongoing monologue which tickles your funny bone to completely disarm your fearsexcaim LOL

I'm still trying to figure out the patatda thing...will you tell me when you find out? :-) - MLucie, Jan 16, 2012
Raúl finally sent me the answer by PM yesterday. I'll forward it to you, Lucie. - territurtle, Jan 16, 2012

So please!, remove me from "el pelotón de los torpes". jejejejje

El pelotón de los torpes ~~naturally I had to look that one up~hilarious!!! I need that in my notebook. - Yeser007, Jan 15, 2012
Little typo sneaked in -- you meant for "gues" to read "guess." ¿Ahora me dices lo que 'PA TA TA' significa? ;)) - territurtle, Jan 15, 2012

Yesterday we had a great night chatting, playing pasapalabra and learning new words and expressions. My favourite was "cero patatero" wink

In the end, my connection was so bad that I could barely listen, so I had to hang up.

Thank you Heidi for organising this session and everyone for participating with me.

Nobody mentioned that Heidi found more than 3 words!

Sounds awesome mate, good stuff. Hey you were lucky, if I'd have been there you would have had a minus score hehe.

I had to go to an annual dive club banquet which turned out to be rather boring. I wish I had stayed home and joined you guys for this.

I'm glad you had a good time, I missed it, I had to be at work, maybe next time. If I was there I am sure I would have joined you in the 'no right answers group' I am no good at quizzes.
