It took me five years....

But I finally talked my coworkers into playing Marco Polo with the walkie talkies.

This has got to be the most fun I've ever had at work.

Your old music cannot sustain you through a life, not if you're someone who listens to music every day, at every opportunity. You need input, because pop music is about freshness, about Nelly Furtado and the maddeningly memorable fourth track on a first album by a band you saw on a late-night TV show. And no, that fourth track is not as good as anything on Pet Sounds or Blonde on Blonde or What's Going On, but when was the last time you played Pet Sounds? - Songbook by Nick Hornby

Re It took me five years....

When adapted to the hotel, we removed the rule about keeping your eyes closed.

Person who is it stays in the office for 90 seconds. "It" then wanders through the hotel, calling "Marco" on the radio. All others respond by saying "Polo" on their radios. "It" tries to determine when calls are coming from the radio, or coming from actual hidden persons.

I've learned that when playing "it," it is best to turn the volume on the radio WAY down, because otherwise it really interferes with listening for actual voices.
