The Party Line laced up their bootstraps and entertained the masses for a night in August 2008. Though it is hotly debated as to the greatest day in Party Line History, Takahisa Kiyone's going away party on that August night topped the list for me, with greatest moment being the game "Run, Run, blind Man."
The scene was dark as the sun set, the headlights shown through the trees to light up the field adjacent to Wormie's truck and Abraham's burial site. The water balloons were flying as Takahisa, blind-folded, charged his way through the battle zone searching for the coke bottle, all for the good of his team.
EVENTS by Jordan and Alicia Hollinger
"Juicy Egg in the Face"
- Each team will send one member to the table. A carton of eggs, containing both hard boiled and raw eggs, will be set out and the two members from opposing teams will pick one egg (the first egg they touch has to be used). The opposing members (one from team Monkey and the other from team Penguin) will then smash the egg on each other's heads. If a raw egg is smashed on the opposing team, then that team gets a point. This cycle will continue until everyone on each team has gone. The team with the most raw eggs smashed on the opposing team's heads (the team that gets their rival team messiest), wins.
"Yummy Tummy"
-16 secret dishes will be placed on the table. One member from each team will start the game by sitting down at the table and choosing a numbered dish. The dish will be revealed (by mamasan) and each member will have to eat what is on the plate with their hands behind their backs. The member that eats the food on their plate the fastest, wins a point for their team. This cycle continues until all the dishes are gone (meaning that some members of the team may have to go more than once). The player with the most points once the dishes are gone, wins the game.
BONUS ROUND: Mamasan decided she wanted to make everyone her famous American mochi balls. Each member of both teams will have to eat a mochi ball. The team that finishes their mochi balls first, gets an extra point.
"Boom Boom goes the Water Balloon"
-Each team will pick one member to sit in the shaving chair. The rest of the team will rotate and try to shave a straight line on a shaving creamed water balloon that is placed on the seated member's head. If the balloon pops, the next member will put shaving cream on another balloon and try to shave a straight line. The team that shaves the most balloons without popping (and thus drenching their team member) in 2 minutes, wins.
"Run, Run, Blind Man"
-One of the teams will pick a member to be blindfolded. The rest of the team will be notified as to where a 2 liter of coke is placed on the playing field. The team will then attempt to tell the blindfolded person where to walk to get to the bottle. Meanwhile, the opposing team will be allowed to distract the blindfolded person by shouting other directions, singing, yodeling, and throwing massive amounts of water balloons. Once the blindfolded person gets to the bottle, they can take off the blindfold and run back to their team. The team must then drink the whole bottle. This event will be timed, and then the whole event will be repeated by the opposite team. The team with the fastest time, wins.
"Happy Flying Marshmallows"
-Each team will choose a thrower. The thrower will be stationed at the table of chocolate syrup marshmallows. The thrower will try and throw the marshmallow into a team member's mouth from a distance. If the member does not catch the marshmallow in their mouth, they must move to the back of the line and let the next team member try to catch a marshmallow. The team members will cycle through for 2 minutes. (Judge Bob will need to keep track of both teams' marshmallow scores.) The team with the most marshmallows caught in the mouth after the 2 minutes, wins.
After this event, the winner of the American game show will be announced. Then, the teams will clean up a bit inside, while Judge Bob puts together the bonfire. Marshmallows will still be prevalent, so these may be used as well.
