Happy Birthday Carney Folk!

Last night we had a Murder Mystery Dinner Party for Josh.  It was so much fun.  My only regret is that we could not include more people.  It is so hard to have people over to our tiny house and there were only 8 parts in the game.   The game we bought was Honky Tonk Homicide. It is a western themed dinner party.  We basically had over our small group from church and our friends the Billings.  The Billings also brought over their sweet babe Grayson who is only a few weeks younger than Jacy.  They got to hang out while the adults were being crazy. Also Jacy did a good job sharing her swing and bedroom.  I'm so proud.  

How this game works is that you buy a kit and it comes with scripts and clues to figure out a crime.  Here are the characters and the background of the game. The people's names are our friends who played each the part. If you know them, you know why the parts are so funny! 

It's last call for Bubba Angus, owner of Bubba's Bar in Cactus, Texas. Late tonight, he was found
dead in his office - shot and killed with a .22 caliber pistol.

YOU are one of eight suspects at the forefront of the murder investigation. Bubba was the town snake, but who did he bite with enough venom to trigger his murder?
This small town definitely has its share of secrets. Let the truth be known…

Sheriff Sissy Wesson (Kristy) – The sexy, yet fierce and respected, sheriff of Cactus, Texas 

 

 Carney Folk (Josh Howard) – An angry and sleazy carnival worker, passing through town. 

 

  Rowdy Lawless (Justin) – A bad boy with a short temper and love for his bike.

Twyla Fleetwood (Kyle) – Cactus Court Trailer Park owner and designer of her own nuclear holocaust bunker.

 

 Dusty Diamond (Dustin) – Host of Karaoke Night at Bubba’s with big dreams of Country Western

stardom. "Ah got big dreams!"

  Crystalline Daniels (Melissa) – The young, beautiful, and promiscuous barmaid.

 Reverend Jim Bob Eternity (Luke) – The town’s beloved (and sleazy) TV evangelist.
Mary Kay Eternity (Amy) – The preacher’s wife, struggling for her own identity. 

Kid Spurbottom (Josh B.) and Millie Moonshine (Holly) and their sweet babe, Grayson - Poor people stuck in the bar trying to figure out who killed Bubba. What was that baby doing in a bar?  Oh wait, my kid was there too...

If you have never done one of these parties, you should.  It was so fun!  It was a little intense on the set up and food preparation but everyone had a good time.   I am looking forward to doing it again.  I want to do this one about a prom. I just think it would be funny to get to wear silly 80's prom dresses.  Also, chances are someone will be preggers and a pregnant prom queen might be just a funny as a pregnant trailer park owner.

 

Also, you can only use this game once. So if you are looking for a good time, Honky Tonk Homicide is for sale. : ) This game is NOT for kids...
