Fun and Games
One of the best games ever invented first appeared at the Seforim Sale last year. You may never have heard of it, but that should be no indication of how famous the game is. It just shows how out of the loop you are.
The game was called "Name the Animal that Josh would think I am." The rules were simple. Everybody goes around in a circle, taking turns saying what animal they would be compared to. Not in their own eyes. Not in the eyes of those around them. But in my eyes. Popular variations included making animal noises, explaining your answers, and, yes, sadly, calling me to tell me the results.
Post your own here.

One of this year's silly games came back to haunt me recently. It involves Benji, a red Marker and a cause for Shmulik to freak out.
Let me give it a try. Josh might see Shmulik as a flamingo and Diana as a koala bear.
I wonder how Josh would see Richard Joel. I suspect a Hyena.
I'm inclined to see Spam, in Josh's eyes, as a porcupine.
The Elder could be an armadillo, because no-one REALLY knows what that is and it just seems to fit: Sammy/Elder the Armadillo.
Raskez would be a salamander.
Dididiana...*sigh*
without uncle Richard, there would be no camp soy which is a wholly owned subsidiary of CAMP YU / CAMP JOEL of which Richard shlita is the head counselor.
Josh: a little censoring magic, if you please. Presto!
Oh, grow up all of youse.
Di, why so hostile? All I said that Richard Joel was the head counselor of camp YU. What did I do to make you so mad? Who said I did not like your antics? Is this a private message board or a public blog?
I'm still trying to understand your name: is it "f*** artscroll" or "fart-scroll"? In either event, I still don't get it and it's not very nice. I guess they match your tactless comments Mr. Kitsch.
Its actually a merger of Artscroll and Feldheim. You have a dirty mind.
It looks like I'm going to have to separate you youngsters...
Fartscroll - I apologize on behalf of me. I also read your original comment as a playful jest, and not a hurtful point. I'm not sure why DianaNow and WillWorkForFood have taken such offense. I'd like to remind them that this is a public blog, and outsiders are free to say what they wish. Everyone else should remember that since not everything here is necessarily under our control, don't assume the words expressed are agreed upon by Camp SOY, and certainly not the Seforim Sale or any other actual entity.
So guys, this is camp!!! Keep it fun and friendly!
I came across this blog and I am trying to figure out what was going on during the "Seforim Sale." when did everyone sit around a circle to then take "turns saying what animal they would be compared to" ? was that while helping customers?
is that the best you can do? I'm hurt.
Now the camp spirit is actually coming to life!
But back to the game - the rules are simple, but actually complex. There is no one criteria for choosing the animal - the biggest mistake is assuming it is based on looks. Actually, personality is one of the strongest components, followed by looks. Then mainly you have to throw in some uncommon species to shake things up.
So Josh, when are you going to actually start the animal-labeling here, we'd like to hear some "live" examples.
I know you'd like live examples. Unfortunately, the game does not actually involve me making animal associations. It involves you descending into the depths of my mind to try and figure out what I'd say.
That being said, you're a pelican.
Well you earn the title of aardvark, Josh.
