Gnilleps

If any of you have ever played the game Cranium, you probably have an idea of what the term "Gnilleps" means. Well, even if you don't, it basically is "spelling" backwards. And that's exactly what the object of the task is all about. All you do is listen to the word on the card, then spell it backwards as a team one person/letter at a time. So for example, if it was me and another person and the word was "GO", I'd start with "O" and the other person would say "G". Simple enough, right?



Well we had a gem during yesterday's game over at the Met. In an effort to keep this person's identity anonymous, we'll just call him "F. Cho".

"F. Cho" had never played Cranium before, but somehow he knew all of the rules (or at least he acted like he did). Naturally, he broke every single rule in order to help his team and still managed to lose. There were a few classic outbursts during the game, all of which included various profanities along the lines of "FUCK!", "This is BULLSHIT!" and similar inappropriate comments everytime his team was wrong. I could not stop laughing at these outbursts and was hoping that his team would be incorrect everytime just to see what would happen next. To be fair, his team was correct a few times. But there was one shining moment he had during this wonderful afternoon.

"F. Cho's" team drew a yellow card from the Word Worm category, which just so happened to be a team Gnilleps challenge, so they were tasked with spelling the word "silicone" backwards. Like a prodigy child, "F. Cho" immediately gets all excited and decides to go first because he's so sure of himself here. And what happened next just floored the room...

"F. Cho" turns to his teammates, and with a sure fire attitude and sheepish grin, he confidently screams out the letter "N!!!!!!!!!!"

The entire room erupts in laughter and doesn't quiet down until... come to think of it. I think we're all still laughing. Nice job "F. Cho". You have provided us all with something to laugh about for at least the next year or so.

N!!!!!!!!!!!
