So the other day I was watching this video with
rettiger:

It was part of a karaoke prep thing. I was talking about doing The Greatest Love of All, which she did not know, and then we went on to watch this clip, too.
Starting at 2:30, the dialog was something like this:
mothwentbad: Ok, so now she's got a samurai sword. Yeah. He's going to walk up and grab her hand real slow-like and push the sword away, and then they're going to make out.
Then at 2:40:
rettiger: lol
mothwentbad: Holy crap, I've never even seen that movie before!
Anyway, later we were talking about this scene, and we came up with a slumber party type of game for it, called "disembowel or make out with". It's simple - you put the other player in Whitney's place, and pick someone to hypothetically take Kevin's place. So if I said to Whitney Houston "Kevin Kostner - disembowel or make out with?", her answer would be "make out with". And you have to answer within three seconds, or else whoever it is has already disarmed and is making out with you, because the only "no" that Kevin Costner's gonna take for an answer is a samurai sword in the gut.
The trouble with the game, though, is that I'm somewhat squeamish about gore, and not that squeamish about making out, so I made out with just about everyone.
It's also a rule that you can't pick a Kevin that goes against the sexual orientation of the Whitney, because then it's just too weird.
So... I don't know. Funny idea, but not that entertaining in practice. I have trouble getting takers.
