Funny things…..
So today’s blog is going to be about funny things you can do while you’re on the lift with a stranger. In my opinion, the more nervous the stranger is to be on the lift alone with you, the better.
- Slowly, about a half inch at a time continue to scoot towards them until you’re pushed right up against them. This works better of course on at least a quad, since it would be a short game on a double.
- Pretend to weep the entire lift ride, then laugh manically when you get off.
- Speak loudly about how hard you partied and the substances you did last night on your phone. Also make sure to speak graphically about sexual conquests.
- Take your goggles off and stare directly at them emotionless for the whole ride.
- Keep sniffing them.
- Ask them the same cliché “lift stranger” question as many times as possible. “ So, where you from?”, “How many years you been riding?”. Make a game out of it, break your own records… can you straight faced get 8 “where you froms” on one lift ride?
- Fart loudly and blame it on them while waving your hand in front of your nose.
- Strike up a normal friendly conversation and then inappropriately confess something very personal that’s not true, like a serious crime you committed, or that you’re gay and haven’t told your parents.
- Pull something strange out of your jacket. This takes some forethought, but the possibilities are pretty endless. A couple options that come to mind are, pornographic magazine, or something even more awesome like a zip lock bag full of mashed potatoes, and then you can scoop some with your hand and offer it to your new friend.
I don’t have all the answers; these are just a few funny things I could think of. There are definitely more productive things you can do with your lift time, my friend John learned to play the harmonica in a season of lifts. I’d love to hear some other awesome lift games if they’re out there.
