Carnac the Magnificent game
Here's an idea I got from a message board on the net. I'm not putting this in the queue because it isn't a puzzle, and since the responses need to be in a continuous stream I'm not putting it in chat, so I thought I'd try the Forum…
On the old Tonight Show with Johnny Carson, he did a bit where he dressed up like a swami named Carnac the Magnificent. Carnac would hold a sealed envelope to his forehead and state the response to the question inside. Then he opened the envelope to reveal the question. An example:
Carnac: Sis Boom Bah
Envelope: What sound does an exploding sheep make?
Your job, should you choose to accept it, is to say what the envelope contains for the post above yours, and then offer a Carnac for the next person to answer.
Ready? First envelope, please…
Carnac: Love and Rockets.

Re: Carnac the Magnificent game
What's the point of saying "ignoring Satan" and then following it by addressing (not ignoring) my comment?
At least your "envelope" response was clever. |

Re: Carnac the Magnificent game
Sorry, I can't come up with anything funny for the last Carnac. Sounds, such as boom shak-a-lak-a, can be pretty hard to spoof. What seems to work best for this game are common phrases or famous titles, which players can then interpret in new ways. Examples:
Carnac: I'll Take Manhattan.
Envelope: What did Donald Trump say when told he could have his own private island?
Carnac: Dick Gephardt.
Envelope: What is the primary result of taking Viagra?
Anyhoo, let's give this another try...
Carnac: Gone With the Wind. |

Sorry, Bryan, for sticking you with such a tough one. I won't use sounds anymore.

After the last couple of entries, I think this thread needs to be moderated. |

Re: Carnac the Magnificent game
You know, Satan . . . you really ought to leave this thread alone. I haven't seen any of your comments or puzzles on this site. Maybe if you weren't always trying to be (no pun intended) the devil's advocate in this thread, I would listen to you.
Just for laughs, (ignoring Satan).
Envelope: Name one fact you might hear along with "Jessica Jackson is a women's rights activist."
Envelope: Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition.

Re: Carnac the Magnificent game
Envelope: What working title was scrapped for Bill Clinton's autobiography?
Remember: The contents of the envelope should be 1) funny and 2) in the form of a question. BTW, nothing against Satan, but I thought Captain Paradox's last envelope was hilarious.
Carnac: Fault line. |
