Stop posting, Jordan!! 555 is such a lovely number! 556 would ruin it!

Yeah, how about something like a million dollars for each participant this year?

It’s been a long time since I played it, but I believe it goes something like this…

You have a chair for each person, and each chair is numbered. (1, 2, 3 etc.) One person is the “caller” and stands to the side. The caller starts the game by saying something like, “The Prince of Paris has lost his hat. Number 4 took it! Number 4 to the foot!” The person sitting in the #4 chair has to interupt before they finish and say, “No, sir, not I, sir!” If he doesn’t interupt in time, he has to go to the end of the row of chairs. But if he interupts in time, the caller asks: “Who so then, sir?” And then the person in #4 says the number of a different person, say #2. So then the caller says, “Number 2 took it! Number 2 to the foot.” And so on and so on. I can’t remember exactly how it works, but eventually everyone starts moving up the row of chairs, so their number changes. The object is to stay at the head of the row without sliding back down to the foot.

Whoops, I thought this was the City of Ember thread. Never mind.

Then what am I doing in this thread? I haven’t read the book and I haven’t watched the movie. *clears throat* I’d best be going now.

I’ll have to give it a try sometime. It sounds fun!

The Prince of Paris has lost his hat… Don’t mind me.
