New party game

Marc and I tend to get giddy and talkative on the nights that we end up going to bed too late and need to get a good night's sleep for whatever we have on the next day. First you should know that one of my hobbies (one of my "bits" really, but I'm not a stand-up comedian) is to make up funny name combinations for people... like Randall and Lauralea, I hope one of your daughters marries a guy who's last name is Mabunssoff.

So, on one of those late, giddy nights when we should have been sleeping, we (well, I thought it up, and then we did it together) created the Frankly family.

This is how it works. Give it a try sometime for fun, or during one of those really awkward pauses in a conversation with someone you hardly know, or like I said, as a party game.

It started off by me imagining that "Quite Frankly" was a person's name. Then we began to imagine the members of his family.

Quit Frankly - the brother that always gives up on everything
Quip Frankly - the one who gives all the one-liners
Quick Frankly - the fast Frankly
Quiet Frankly - obvious, the quiet one in the family
Quark Frankly - the science guy
Quack Frankly - he's crazy
etc, etc, etc with most one-syllable (and some two syllable) "q" words.

Then you can extend it to "c" and "k" words if you get really giddy, you know like Crap Frankly, etc. Half of the fun is thinking of really witty descriptions of the family members too, which I haven't really bothered to do (I'm a bit too busy these days, as the lack of posts has indicated).

So give it a whirl. And if you think of some really good ones, post them under comments!!

Looking forward to meeting all of your Franklies, quite frankly.
