While in your host country (with food poisoning) it’s important to find comforting holiday activities – like this bit of genius (‘The Eye of Argon‘). Apparently there’s a game – you take turns reading it out loud. When the person reading laughs aloud, they pass it one to the next person. You won’t get very far:

The weather beaten trail wound ahead into the dust racked climes of the baren land which dominates large portions of the Norgolian empire. Age worn hoof prints smothered by the sifting sands of time shone dully against the dust splattered crust of earth. The tireless sun cast its parching rays of incandescense from overhead, half way through its daily revolution. Small rodents scampered about, occupying themselves in the daily accomplishments of their dismal lives.

Tingling. I’m going to go play Baldur’s Gate II. Actually come to think of it I’m pretty sure there’s an amateur fantasy film that I was in when ~10 years old. Certainly hope no one ever digs up a copy.
