Three Things - Round 1 - Winner: Graybeard

[Viking-Sensei]

This is a classic road trip game my friends and I invented some years ago, and has served us well at CAS as a vital distracion from killing one another on many a long car ride. It's doesn't have to be mature content, but given the lot I'm a) traveling with normally and b) showing it to now, it usually winds up being moderately-to-heavily mature.

Title:
Three Things

Players:
2 or more, however 3-6 is usually the best range to shoot for.

Materials:
None, unless someone wants to keep a score of some sort.

Premise:
You are making a late night run to a local department-and-grocery supercenter (Think WalMart/Meijers/Biggs) for 'three seemingly random items'. Through these items and these items only, you must convey a sense of fear, dread, confusion, and/or abject horror into whatever unfortunate cashier that checks you out.

Rules:
Each player takes their turn, naming three items that somehow tell (or at least imply) a story or greater purpose to them. That purpose does not have to be sinister, however it almost always is. Items cannot be reused, however similar items may provided that there is enough difference between the two (IE Duck and Scotch Tape are ok, Lemon and Lime jello are not).

Players who fail to come up with an original or entertaining set, reuse an already claimed item, or attempt to use four items (without asking to 'Go To The Mountain' first) are out and are bypassed until the end of the game, however may still participate in the group judging of other people's sets. The last player standing (sitting, whatever) wins.

So all I do is name the three items?

Lucky for you I have a real-life story to go from.

KY Jelly, an expandible beach shovel, and 30-gallon trash bags.


Let me know if more needs to be added, but I think I understood the rules correctly.

[Viking-Sensei]

No, no, that was just about perfect.

I counter with:
Those laxatives shaped like chocolate, brownie mix, and a roll of duct tape.

[Weirdonian]

OK, I got one:

A jar of honey, tent stakes, and bungee cords.

[Tiamat]

I see your set, Viking, and raise you an expandible radio antenna (just the antenna, mind), a turkey baster, and a tube of Krazy Glue.

Edit: Damn! Someone beat me to the punch. Well, at least I didn't use any of his items.

[LaurenTheIntern]

A garden hose, Vaseline and a can of wet cat food.

[Viking-Sensei]

Ahem...

Mousetraps, a mailbox (the sort you put out by the road), and a digital camera.
