Subject: RE: BS: I Spy From: Liz the Squeak Date: 26 Feb 05 - 04:42 AM Well that's just not fair.. we don't have waste paper, we recycle our paper so it goes in a box, and my rubbish bin is called a rubbish bin and is full of cloth scraps and juice cartons. I could just as easily say I spy something beginning with R and you'd never get it because it's called something else in every other country and isn't something you'd normally see lying around in open, on the desk!

Subject: RE: BS: I Spy From: Layah Date: 21 Feb 05 - 04:11 PM I would guess I spy is known in the UK considering lack of questioning posts from UK mudcatters, as well as people from the UK responding to this thread. We always said "I spy with my little eye something that starts with..." I've always wondered which one is my little eye. I have found a lot of variation in games and their names here though. There's a cardgame, called Happy Families I think or something like that, that is similar to but totally unlike Go Fish. There were a couple more obscure card games that I discovered under totally different names with slightly different rules. They call tic tac toe naughts and crosses, which actually makes more sense then tic tac toe as soon as you realize that naught means zero (which was easy to infer, knowing naught means nothing, the first tiem I heard someone say "naught point five") I wonder what other games US has and UK doesn't or vice versa or different versions. Sorry for the drift. |
Subject: RE: BS: I Spy From: Azizi Date: 21 Feb 05 - 04:09 PM Now now children. Remember to be on your best behavior. And don't forget to put on a happy face. It's time to get those brain cells working. Does no one have a guess? |
Subject: RE: BS: I Spy From: LilyFestre Date: 21 Feb 05 - 04:08 PM Hmmmm...well I'm game. Are we still on I spy something that starts with the letter M? If so, how about MONITOR? :) Well, I *AM* looking right at it!!!! Michelle |

Subject: RE: BS: I Spy From: Azizi Date: 21 Feb 05 - 03:47 PM Here are the rules to "I Spy" as I understand them: 1) A person is selected to be "It". 2} "It" thinks of some thing or some person 3) "It" says the set sentence "I spy etc" adding the letter that is at the beginning of the word [what he or she is thinking] 4) One at a time people try to guess what "It" was thinking about 5) "It" says 'no' if the guess is wrong {or in this cyberspace version doesn't respond if the guess is wrong} 6) "It" says 'yes' {or writes a post to this thread}when a person guesses right. 7) The person who guesses right becomes the new "It" and the game is supposed to start all over again. I'm curious, is this game not known outside of the USA? |
Subject: RE: BS: I Spy From: Layah Date: 21 Feb 05 - 03:01 PM Characters (Is this one of those games you get to ask yes/no questions, or am I just getting it confused with 20 questions?) |
Subject: RE: BS: I Spy From: Azizi Date: 21 Feb 05 - 02:54 PM Well I enjoy letting the child in me out. But the "I Spying" system broke down since gnu said "P" then he gave it to Amos and Amos doesn't want to play.
