Naw. The hangover's not worth it. Seriously, how do you make an UNFUN game FUN?
Let's look at the most unfun game ever: Marco Polo.
A game that consists of one person having their eyes closed for the entire game, the loud yelling of just 2 words over and over and over again, treading in and swallowing chlorinated water (and pee), possible broken teeth and bones from running on slick poolside surfaces while pulling some daring "fish out of the water" escape action, and no clear winner. Oh, and there's probably a gigantic hornet's nest or something under the pool slide, so there's that, too.
Why do people play this game, again? Who knows. Who cares. It should be banned. However, if banning it's out of the question, let's implement these changes at once. Or, wait until next summer.
1. Instead of the annoying "Marco!"..."Polo!"..."Marco!"..."Polo!"..."Marco!"..."Polo!", use various first and last names. Keep it interesting. Use unique first names like "Kiefer" (Sutherland) and "Homer" (Simpson) at first, but then start saying common names like "Pat" and "Jennifer". It'll be interesting to hear what last names everybody says in response. If you can't think of anybody with that first name, make a fart sound or something.
2. The "blind" person should have a high powered water gun. I'm talking one of those that'll leave a red mark on your skin if you get hit. Randomly shoot it to see if people are sneaking around.
3. Send someone out of the pool to hide the "blind" person's towel/shoes/wallet/car keys/cell phone/medicine/car
4. EVERYONE should have their eyes closed for the entire game.
5. Keep playing if you hear thunder in the distance. It'll add to the excitement.
