When You Play 'Cards Against Humanity' At Camp, Don't Google What You Don't Understand

Ignorance is bliss.

Cards Against Humanity is one of my favorite games, not only because it is psychologically revealing (As in finding out your friends have darker or dirtier minds than you thought), but it can give you plenty of stories to tell. Once such funny anecdote stemmed from the ignorance of the definition of "Pixelated Bukkake."

Every year at Theater Camp, after the dress rehearsal, there's about three hours of break time before the show to gather our nerves and of course, eat. Usually, we're shown a movie, however, that year, someone brought Cards Against Humanity. Those of us who didn't want to watch the movie went backstage to play.

The exact details of that one game are a blur to me. For a few minutes, we were playing, laughing at the responses, probably screaming "Why would you say that?!?!" to the darker responses...

Eventually, someone played the infamous "Pixelated Bukkake" card. I don't remember if that one won the round or not, but all hell broke loose the moment someone asked, "What's that mean."

Now, keep in mind, everyone there was in high school, had the internet, and seemed aware of the other less-than-appropriate cards. That one person's ignorance of what that was let out a chorus of "Um's," "Uh's," and "You don't wanna know's." However, that person was bent on finding out what it was. "I'm googling it," she said. The rest of the group did their best to stop her, but it was too late. The look on her face, and the "Oh... That's what it is" said it all. Luckily, she seemed over it afterward, and it didn't affect her performance.

The moral of this story? If you must allow innocent people to play Cards Against Humanity, never allow them access to Google.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.
