Game the Forty-Seventh: Favorite Scenes

Greetings, dear reader! I was on my lunch break today, lying in a rose garden and looking up at the sky (this is my favorite way of spending my lunch hour. I'm in an office the rest of the day, and I need to know what trees look like by lunchtime), and I had a thought. One of several, but this is the one that matters to this post. I realized that waaaay back when, we had the "How I Met P&P 95" game, but I don't think we've had a "Name Your Favorite Scene" game. *

Hence this game. It's not "game" in the traditional sense of there being a winner (winning, after all, is overrated). It's more of a sharing of anecdotes. The "rules" (these are "rules", the same way this is a "game") go something like this: name your favorite P&P 95 scene, the episode it's in, and the reasons it's your favorite (note: "Mr. Darcy in a wet shirt" is a perfectly valid reason).

I'll start: I am actually torn. I love Mr. Collins's failed "proposal", simply because it is so comical that it's painful to watch in parts.

Although Mrs. Bennet's effusive sobs ought to have a mention of their own...

The "Voi che sapete" scene certainly gets an honorable mention (I go rewatch that scene on its own from time to time), and I would be remiss not to mention Lady Catherine's call to inform Lizzy of her disapproval.

It Shall Not Be Endured!

But at the end of the day...Proposal Number Two. Even after seeing it more times than I care to admit to, I still grin like a loon whenever I see it. It just makes me happy.

So, dear Reader... which scene's your favorite?

Yours, etc.

Miss Elizabeth

*If we have had this game, I do apologize. But really, it can't hurt to play it again, can it?

Game the Forty-Sixth: P&P Slogans

Hello, folks! Today we're going to resurrect the "games" part of the Club. I loved the games when Amy and Melody did them, and was truly wracking my brain to find a way I could follow them up with something reasonably similar.

Which is why we have The Slogan Competition. Well, okay, not really a competition, but certainly an attempt to see who can come up with the most delightful, entertaining, or snarkiest (other categories to be made up as we go along) slogan for P&P.

So, rules: come up with a slogan for either the novel or P&P 95 (although you certainly can get extra points for a really snarky P&P2005 slogan) that you feel encompasses the work, include a picture (or a link to it) if you'd like to, and post it in the comments section.

Oh, the frivolity!

But I did come up with a good one...

The winners will be announced around the middle of next week. Good luck, and have fun!

Yours, etc.

Miss Elizabeth
