Charades!

While you were sleeping?

Eyes wide shut? I don't get the "Y" in there, though. Must be something else.

Eyes Wide Shut it is.

Wide sounds like Y ... well, it does ...

Tosh, that's a good guess and would also fit except that it's four words.

Well see, I took the first smiley to be "eyes wide" because they sure are wide in that smiley.

Since I've already hogged the stage with three I won't do anymore, plus I have no new ideas at this point!

I'm thinking of a non-smiley variant of messageboard charades, maybe later today I'll try to start that up.

A non-smiley variant would be good! There aren't enough things that you can say with our smileys.

eta: Alatar, are both of yours the same thing? - one the movie and the other the TV show? Or are they two different shows?

If the latter, I would guess Lost for the TV show, but I don't know that it was a movie first.

The movie - wanted to say Dude, Where's My Car but that's too many words.

Jny, one of Alatar's is three words, the latter is one word.

I'll throw one into the mix. Six words, a movie, and ridiculously easy.

Jny, one of Alatar's is three words, the latter is one word.

Yes, I get that. But are they two different names for the same story - i.e. a movie renamed for TV? Or are they two different stories?

I can think of lots.
(No one has tried my last one yet)

But I can't guess Liddy's easy one. If Alatar's movie poser was one word I would say Clueless, but it is three words. Is Alatar's TV show a US one?
(But it isn't Friends, Cheers, Frazier or MASH)

I wanted to guess "Farewell to Arms" to Tosh's one, but I believe the book may be "A Farewell to Arms"?

Either way I'm proud of myself for making the guess

The Griffster has it!

Good, that's reduced the unguessed charades a bit.

Post by **Griffon64** » Wed May 31, 2006 7:28 pm

*preens happily*

I'll never be able to generate one of my own ( well, I said I'll never be able to GUESS

) but I certainly won't be adding any to the mix right now!

4 weddings and a Funeral

Alatar wrote:Okay. It's a Movie. Three words.

Or, as an easy alternative, a TV show. One word.

Sorry, the first one is a movie and Tosh was incredibly close with his guess. In fact I considered that movie as an alternative to the one I chose. (funny how we're picking charades to match emoticons).

The second one is a TV Series. One word. I thought this one was a doddle to be honest! Unrelated to the first charade.

ETA: Yes Tosh, its a US Series.

Dumb and Dumber?

And is X-Files one word?

Post by **Alatar** » Wed May 31, 2006 8:21 pm

Nope and Nope.

Post by **Jnyusa** » Wed May 31, 2006 8:31 pm

I already said Lost for the TV show. That's not it?

Post by **Alatar** » Wed May 31, 2006 8:47 pm

Nope! It's actually both the name and the subject matter, if that helps any!

Post by **TheTennisBallKid** » Wed May 31, 2006 9:00 pm

"Invasion"?

ttbk

Post by **Faramond** » Wed May 31, 2006 9:17 pm

"Roswell" would fit with the second one. So would "X-files" in my opinion. "Invasion" I've not heard of ... that's an American show?
