This is a standard Alaska run, and standard Alaska runs follow something of a formula. Get up, go teach, go to show, come home. Nice and easy, on occasion somewhat …dull? No, that’s not the right word, just…routine.
Every so often, its’ really nice when something comes along to break the routine. Especially when it turns out to be something that makes you laugh.
The Cruise Director needed an extra panel member for tonight’s game show. The game shows on board are…somewhat ridiculous. Which is what makes them fun. Tonight’s was “Secret Identities” which involved having a sign put above my head with a name that I then had to guess. At one point I was Marylin Monroe, and then at another I was…a plate of chicken nuggets? Yup, you read that right, a plate of chicken nuggets.
You can tell how ridiculous this whole thing got.
But sometimes a ridiculous is a really good thing. It’s not that I don’t laugh normally, I actually laugh more than I used to these days, but last night was the first time in ages I’ve laughed that much.
Impossible to explain unless you were there…but for a while “Cornish game hen” is going to make me giggle.
Of all the chicken-things in the world you come up with Cornish game hen?
It made sense in my head!!!
I am absolutely convinced the world is in need of more silliness (the good kind).
Just doing my bit!
It sounds like a lot of fun. Sometimes I have to call for a pause in the fun in role play because I’ve laughed so much I need a loo break. I believe those deep can’t-stop-laughing laughs are good for one’s soul and a great natural relaxant.
