Name That Thing

It's time to play your favorite game: Name That Thing. Even though it's your favorite, you might not know how to play. Here are the rules:

1. Pick a thing (it can be ANYTHING: a person, place, idea, moment, instance, event, hypothetical situation, nonsensical blather, etc.). The more creative and specific it is, the better.
2. Post a comment that says, "Name that thing."
3. Other people will try to guess your thing by responding to your comment.
4. After there have been at least 3 guesses, the person who said "Name that thing" gets to choose the winner. They will reveal what the "thing" was and explain why the winner was the closest to guessing correctly. This is called the "Judgment".

The intensely awkward experience of waking up on your friend's parents' couch and realizing you've had a wet dream.

Oral sex while cruising down the highway at 70 mph with some guy/girl you hardly know who now you really don't like that much either...
Actually, it's that time in high school when your girlfriend is giving you head in the back section of a Ford Explorer while her parents are driving and her aunt and uncle are in the middle seats.

You try so hard to put it in their face, but they are so oblivious. Just before you blow your wad, you realize that you have to break up with this girl.
In high school you'll go to the ends of the earth (or decency) to prove that you're not gay.

So I guess Guess Who! won that one.

That weird half-step/half-stumble thing you do when you are going down a flight of stairs and you miscount the stairs and step dorkily on the landing.

Judgment! The winner is ... Hannah! This was a difficult one because the thing was Kelly Gruber, 3rd baseman for the Toronto Blue Jays from the late-80s to the early-90s. His bright career was cut short by bone spurs. Jordan's "tingling" and ecd's "ache" don't quite get at the feeling of brevity that I was going for. Good work!
I LOVE winning things!
Hey ipost - Can we play an inane geography game? After Trivia the other night, I feel like I need it...
