It seems like I never play Pictionary with people who can draw. Granted, I'm not a great artist myself, but at least when I draw, people can tell if I'm drawing a building or a person.

There's nothing worse than trying to figure out what they are drawing, and guessing:

"COW?"
"CAR?"
"WALRUS?"
"LEMON?"
"WHAT THE....????"

That's why I played in a poker tourney in New Years. If you mess up, it's your own fault.

Pictionary is a great game...esp drunk...and cheating is so easy when you think you're whispering to your partner...but you're not. You drunk ass loser. ha.

Happy New Year! Don't get drunk.

Last time I played pictionary was at the Hospital as my Mother-in-Law was on her death bed -- we needed something to lighten the mood a bit...

Anyhow, we were given a conference room in which to congregate -- it just happened to be filled with medical journals and industry related publication. To make a long story short, you can imagine the drawings on the whiteboard that were used to describe "Erectile Disfunction".

Dave --

I think it has less to do with artistic talent than it does with logical thinking and the ability to communicate simple ideas quickly. Sometimes the most artistic people will spend too much time getting their drawings to look "right" rather than letting simple shapes and familiar scribblings to suffice.
