Silly Situation Game 

Silly Situation Game 

Its time for another one of these! 

Here's how it works:

1. Describe the situation you are in. For example: I am trapped on a raft in the middle of the ocean surrounded by three man-eating sharks with unicorn horns. 

2. List the items you have to save yourself. For example: I have a toothbrush, a piece of Laffy taffy, a statue of Santa wearing an Elvis suit, and a Sherlock Holmes deerstalker hat. 

3. Submit the comment.

4. CBer 2 Replies and comes up with a solution. For example: Take the Laffy taffy and feed it to one shark so his jaws stick together, throw the statue far away to lure the second shark away, stuff the hat over the third shark's horn so he can't see, grab the tooth brush, and use it to paddle away as fast as you can. 

5. CBer 2 posts the situation they are in.

6. Repeat.

Rules 

1. Don't comment unless the previous one shows up.

2. Be creative. Please don't say "my mom made me clean my room" or something similar. 

3. Have fun!

I hope you guys enjoy it! Also, please note this: I did not come up with this idea. All credit goes to the creator, whom, unfortunately, I do not remember.  

P.S. Cardinal says "puob". NO! You are not allowed to go to a pub!

I love doing these, but I haven't seen them in forever! Okay, here I go, get ready for the insane:

Situation:

I am stranded in the loft of a barn with 10 giant, 5-ft long and 3-ft tall ants guarding the outside of the barn. I have three items: a toothpick, blanket, and a strand of working Christmas lights. Just to add, there is a plug-in in the loft, but nothing else. HELP ME ESCAPE!

 

Good luck with that one! :P

Ooh! Interesting, I love this idea! Here's my solution! 

I remember that ants love food, so I plug in the lights and pretent to eat one, then pick my teeth with the toothpick and pretend it's delicious. The ants will turn toward the lights, and eat them. They'll die from eating them. With the ants that are left, I'll wrap them up with the blanket, then take the lights and tie them up really tight. With the one ant that's left, I'll ride on it, making it go by jabbing it with the toothpick. Then I'll ride out of the barn!!! 

Now here's my situation! 

I am pretending to be a statue, standing with a powdered white face a too-long, white robes in front of the King Of The World. He loves statues, and hates it when they come to life. He is very powerful, but everyone hates him. I want to be the king because my ancestors were the Kings and Queens Of The World, then this evil king's ancestors stole the crown. I have a bundle of hay, a mechanical pencil full of lead, and a brick shaped into a porcupine. HELP ME! 

Good luck with this one!

Since no one answered for Batty Pen, I will. Here's your solution:

Take out a bit of lead from the pencil and drop it on the ground. Since statues are obviously silent (unless alive) this will scare the king a bit. When he finds nothing there, being that lead is so small, he will turn around to return to the throne. Then place the porcupine brick on the ground a few feet in front of you when he is turned around to head to the throne. Return to your place, start whispering in a creepy ancient-sounding voice. The king will panic and turn around, seeing not the statue, but the weird porcupine brick that looks like a statue on the ground. He'll panic and back up. That's when you take the hay, and step out of your statue place, throwing hay everywhere saying, "Bow down to your new King Porcupine! All those who do not give him hay will PERISH!" And the real king will panic even more and exile himself, leaving the throne open for you. As for the remaining lead in the pencil, you use it to write up a new law called Porcupine Brick Appreciation Day since it is what freed the country of the evil king. And presto, you are king.

Situation:

Help! I am stuck hiding in the closet of Chuck-E-Cheese (for those who don't know, it's like a giant arcade/activity/birthday center for little kids) hiding in terror because I fear Chuck-E-Cheese costume person and hyper little kids. Therefore, I need to escape in 5 minutes before my crazy ride, a magic carpet, leaves. In the closet, I have three items: a broom, cup of coffee, and a picture frame.

Good luck with this one!

Slowly open the cupboard, then throw the broom out as far as you can. The guy in the costume will go and see what it is, so just open the door, put your head in the picture frame, and make a wierd face, which will hopefully give the hyper kids a massive laughing feet which leaves an escape root. Make sure you drink the coffee before hand so you can run extra fast. Good luck! Tell me if you like it.

I love it, and I escaped out of that place perfectly! Thank you

Try tying the Christmas lights to the plug, then climb up and pull the Christmas lights up. Then, push the tooth pick into the wood and tie the Christmas lights around that. Then make coughing noises, so that the ants come in through the barn door, hope the toothpick is strong, swing through the open door and escape.

Good luck.l

Help!

I'm locked inside school at 5:30 pm with a bunch of zombie head-teachers attacking me, I have no time to explain how I got here, right now but I do have 50 toothbrushes, 12 out of date milk cartoons and a bucket of boiling melted chocolate.

See, you got to use the boiling chocolate to make yourself armour, then you have to make a toothbrush sword, and use the milk cartons as a sheild, and run away. Then, you use the remaining toothbrushes to pick the lock, and escape.

Oh, I love these! I haven't seen one in FOREVER!

Situation~

Help me! I'm locked in tiny room with a printing press that takes up most of the space. I can't move, and Snyder (the warden at the kid's jail) is about to open the door and capture me. All I have are a newspaper, the printing press, a long, boring book about chicken guts, and an old banana peel. How do I escape? 

submitted by Brooklyn Newsie

Here's your solution... It was a hard one to come up with:

Hide behind the printing press, take the little stamps that are inside and wait for Snyder to come in. When he walks in and doesn't see you, throw a few of the small stamps to your right. He'll circle around the press in that direction, so place the banana peel in your current position, and go to the left side of the press. Rip out the pages of the book and start screaming at the top of your lungs, and scatter the pages on the ground (still on the left side). The warden starts running behind the press and slips on the banana peel. You take your newspaper and run out of the room. Snyder tries following and ends up slipping on the pages of the book as well. You get to the front near the exit and hold the newspaper up to your face as you walk, and take a seat on the bench in the lobby area (assuming there is one). Snyder runs past, glances at you, and returns to work, assuming you are someone reading the paper. Finally, you just walk out the front doors laughing because you escaped. 

Sticky Situation:

I have been shrunk to the size of an ant by Alfred, a crazy mad scientist who wants to steal my invention and call it his own. He placed my tiny self in a jar full of honey and left the lid cracked open so I could still breathe. I have to escape to get my invention before Alfred does. All I have are these items: the honey in the jar, a dead cell phone, a fly gun (it shoots salt), and a pillow. Everything was shrunk with me. Please help me escape.

Good luck! (And pun intended with the title xD)

Pull the pillow case off the pillow and rip it into strips. Make a rope out of it. Throw the pillow part out of the jar. Tie the rope to the fly gun and cover it in honey. Throw the gun up to the rim of the jar. It will stick there. Tie the cellphone to the end of the rope you are holding and cover that in honey. Stick it to the bottom of the jar. This will hold the rope steady. Climb up to the rim and jump off onto the pillow. Eat some honey for sustenance and go find your invention. 

Heres my situation:

I am stranded at the top of the Eiffel Tower. There are three very angry pterodactyls coming to get me and carry me off to their lair. I have five yards of red holiday tinsel, an extremely lazy cat, a deck of cards, and a baseball cap. Help me escape before I'm kidnapped by the pterodactyls! 

Cardinal says "nugn". Sure! You can go visit Nugget! Be home in two hours. Hmph.

(January 2, 2017 - 4:09 pm)

Here is your solution:

You grab the tinsel and tie up one pterodactyl's wings to its body so it can't fly, throw the lazy cat onto one of them, which weighs it down  (the cat is excruciatingly fat as well as lazy) and then put the cap over one's eyes, so it can't see and becomes disoriented long enough for you to throw a few cards at a time onto an unsuspecting policeman who was in the wrong place at the wrong time, until he noticed you and gets some people and a ladder to help you down. 

(Note: No cats or pterodactyls were harmed in the making of this solution. In other words, the pterodactyls were taken to a reserve for non-extinct dinosaurs, and the one pterodactyl broke the cat's fall, who was later returned to it's rightful owner.)

My Situation:

My ear is glued to the phone in a Walmart, the lights have gone out, and a mob of angry customers is after me because I accidentally bought the last roll of toilet paper (Everyone seemed to need toilet paper at the same time for some reason). All I have with me is the toilet paper, a carton of eggs, a gallon of milk, and the contents of my purse. AKA, two dollars and seventy three cents, and some chewing gum. Help!

Yay, it's been a long time since we had one of these! They're fun and funny.

My solution to Kate's scenario:

First, you need a diversion. Pterodactyls are fast and deadly, but they're not the smartest, and are easily distracted. Hide temporarily by the elevator while you tear a short piece of holiday tinsel. Use it to tie the baseball cap onto the lazy cat's face. On its face, facing out, covering it's eyes, nose, and mouth. Not too tight though. Give the kitty some room to breathe. This cat might be lazy, but it can get angry quickly. Throw the cat into the open as it runs around and thrashes and claws, trying to get the hat off. This should draw the pterodactyls' attention. While they're swooping low and chasing the cat, get the deck of cards and fling them at the other two pterodactyls' eyes, blinding the, as much as you can. (Ever seen Now You See Me? The guy flings cards so hard, they actually cut.) Then get the holiday tinsel and tie it around your waist. With the other end, lasso one of the pterodactyls. The pterodactyl to which you're attached will help you get rid of the other two (without meaning to) by attacking them, since it thinks they're attacking it. The other two will be driven off. Now climb up the tinsel and get on the pterodactyl's back. Using the remaining tinsel, wrap it around the dinosaur's neck. Now you can steer it. Force it to fly to the ground. Once you land there, you can run and seek shelter. It's nearly blind, and won't find you. As for the cat? He's probably asleep by now, and will be found by some tourists.

 

Next scenario:

You're trapped in an underground tunnel section of a sewer. Help will come, but it take an hour to come. The river is going to flood into it through three large circular entrances in seven minutes. There are five nearby entrances, but they are all sealed. Also, there's an annoying mouse that keeps trying to pounce on your shoe. You have a box of pipecleaners, a scarf, two matches, and a vase of flowers that's half as tall as you. Do something before you drown!

Solution for Leeli:

(I assume you are wanting the toilet paper, not the phone, so here I go. Also I am assuming you meant literally glued to ear) Take the milk and pour it on the floor so a few people in the mob slip. Take the money and slip it into your pocket for later, and swing your purse to hit two other angry people in the face. Climb onto the shelf like a ninja, and start throwing eggs at people. With most of the mob distracted by eggs and milk - or bruising by the purse - jump off the shelf and slowly make your way around to the front cashier with the lights still out. The last two people rush toward you, so take the gum and blow a bubble in one's face, then whip around, hitting the other one with the phone still on your ear. Make a run for it, pay for the toilet paper with your $2.75, and escape to freedom. As for the phone, you figured out it wasn't really glued to your ear, just taped with double-sided tape. xD

Solution for Owlgirl:

(Mind you, this is about to get VERY crazy) Somehow manage to tie the scarf around the pesky mouse's neck and put him inside the vase. Shockingly, the vase's flowers - which the mouse begins to eat - is like the Mega Mushroom from Super Mario Bros and the mouse grows to the size of a horse. You jump on his back, light the matches and throw them on the ground. Then throw the pipe cleaners on the ground and they light on fire. This creates smoke, scaring the mouse, and he gallops off, breaking through one of the blocked exits. You use the scarf you previously tied to him as reins and make your way to freedom with your now giant mouse. FREEDOM!

My Situation:

Ahhhh! Help me! I've been captured by the all famous Bowser and locked in his tower, mistaken as Princess Peach (he's getting old and vision is failing after all). I need to escape on my non-firebreathing dragon outside, but all I have is a cloud, pen, alarm clock, and water bottle. Hurry, Bowser is coming up the stairs right now, and then there will be no way of escaping!
