About Me: I enjoy people watching (especially in New Jersey malls), obsessive collecting, drooling over contemporary art, browsing flea markets for vintage finds and eating an absurd amount of cheese. In my Philadelphia abode, I create mixed media artwork and one-of-a-kind home accessories in the company of my farmer-tanned fiancé, our Westiepoo (Betty White), our three rabbits (Cadbury, Willie Nelson and Applesauce) and our two frisky chinchillas (Ethel Funk and Maude).
Quit Playin’ Games By Yourself!
June 11th, 2008 @ 12:45 pm by Miss Candy Corn
Weeknights are generally low key for Mr. Candy Corn and I, so when we received this in the mail from Mrs. Bee, I was ecstatic:
Thus, the incredibly happy Ms. Candy Corn face:
Note: The item on my head was part of the wrapping of another special package I received in the mail today. More on that in an upcoming post (suspense!).
Even Mr. Candy Corn was excited!
Me making my “sigh, you’re so weird Mr. Candy Corn” face.
Poor Mr. Candy Corn didn’t have a chance at beating me. And yes, this is a game meant for groups, but I was too excited to wait for an opportune time and decided we must have at it after dinner.
Me illustrating “shack up.”
Mr. Candy Corn was much better at acting out his phrases than drawing them. As you can see, Betty White was not amused.
Mr. Candy Corn’s drawings lacked a certain je ne sais quoi. I failed to see how a centipede with a star on its head and a toilet bowl equalled office romance. Apparently the walrus-like drawing on the bottom right was “Rome.” Mr. CC scoffed at me when I didn’t guess this.
That being said, there were several instances where I guessed right with Mr. CC and it usually resulted in a victory dance.
Me gesturing “tassels.” Pardon the red eyes!
“Smoking after sex.” As you can probably tell, I’m inexperienced in this matter.All in all, it was a success. I must admit, I’m quite proud of acting out the phrase “pink velvet sausage wallet” within the designated amount of time. I’d like to apologize for my ridiculously bright nighttime attire. I promise I wasn’t trying to match our Slimertastic walls.
Have any of the readers out there ever played Sexy Slang?

I haven’t had a chance to play yet, but I received my game from Mrs. Bee the other day as well!
We are having a group of friends over on the 21st and I can’t wait to break out the game. Pink velvet sausage wallet? I am glad I have a head start thinking about that one!
PS. Mrs. Bee I love the bee sticker on the package.
You two are ridiculously adorable!
Annndd…am I right when I say that the white pom pom you’re wearing in the second photo looks suspiciously like one of Anthropologie’s signature wrapping bows? I hope so!!
Yep, someone got something from anthropolgie! lucky girl!
(Squeal of delight) We won it too and now I am so excited to play it! I am home visiting relatives in Chicago as we speak, but now I can’t wait to get back to Denver:)
Miss CC you are too freakin’ adorable!
Don’t worry Miss. Candy Corn, my fiance and I didn’t wait for others to join us either. We busted it out and broke it in as soon as the box arrived from Mrs. Bee!
I haven’t played “Sexy Slang,” but rather Sexy Slang’s predecessor Pervartistry. I played it with two guy friends and my bff. It was so inappropriate on so many levels and alcohol was definitely necessary, but my face and stomach hurt the next day from laughing. In short, I loved it!
I can’t decide if I’m most excited about 1) this game, 2) OMG what is that chess/checkerboard? did you already tell us about that???, 3) your outfit, which I think rules, or 4) the fact that I can make the same face as Mr.CC in pic #2 but in exact mirror image. Oh yes, I *do* keep scrolling up to do it again.
Hehehe. You guys crack me up! That game sounds deliciously perverted - awesome!
I get it– a water cooler and a Christmas party! Mr. CC is brilliant.
ew
Mr.Candy-Corn’s drawing of office romance reminds me of the storyboards for a music video. Look there’s the drumkit (second desk from left), robot(toilet looks like robo-head to me), and umm stuff.
Good eye! That was indeed an Anthropologie bow, but it was attached to a very special gift from one of our readers, which I have yet to thank because I’m a big slow jerkypants with emails! Note to self: Stop being a slow jerkypants.
@GorgesViola:
ahaha, the chess board is one I ordered from Ebay that has owls as the little chess dudes. Mr. CC loves playing chess and I love owls, so it was perfect for our knick-knack-tastic apartment. Thanks for the bright outfit lovin!!
@rzblna:
haha, I’ll be sure to tell him you think so! I still don’t see how his drawing of Rome is more than a pudgy walrus though…
@Alex:
You so crazy. Are we still having a foursome? We gotta get on that, yo. Stop slackin’.
@Miss Candy Corn: you guys bring the whipped cream, we’ve got the rubber sheets!
@zombiebride: way to comment under my login name again, douchebag(by douchebag i mean, alex. PS. i love you!)!
