Silly Celebrity Name Game

Silly Celebrity Name Game
Right, so my great friend Shell and I had great fun with this little game we invented the other night. It's evolved somewhat from the original concept; basically we were watching Two And A Half Men and I remarked on Charlie Sheen's immediate family also being in the business, which led to Shell checking out his Wikipedia entry. In typically silly mood, we progressed into challenging each other to identify celebrities purely from non-specific Wiki information such as age, names of children and spouses (excluding identifiable surnames), film/TV work and so on.

The game as it is now played goes like this:
  • Each player takes it in turn to think of a well-known celebrity in any field;
  • The person's name is then broken down and converted into words that rhyme with, or sound similar to, the name itself or its syllables (part of the game's spirit is in coming up with phrases that almost make sense - thus Charlie Sheen might render as Barley Queen);
  • Clues can also be offered in place of rhymes, either to increase the difficulty or when finding an appropriate rhyme proves impractical (e.g. Berger might be codified as "Meat product found in a bun");
  • For the purposes of clarity, a similar sounding word - as distinct from a straight rhyme - should be tagged by [sl=] followed by the word it 'sounds like' (Smith might be: [sl=] "Quiff");
  • Celebrities are assumed to be binomial (forename, surname) unless specified;
  • It is not essential to provide information such as the celebrity's gender or chosen field (actor, singer, sports personality etc) - it all depends on how helpful you feel like being!
  • The player who correctly identifies the celebrity then has to come up with one of their own.

Here's a few to start things off...

1. Big Horny Beaver (actress)

2. [sl=] "Hen 'n' Chick" Lumber Snatch (actor)

3. Fartin' Bean
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'
