There's a little game that I love to play, and it's call "Hot Seat." The basic idea behind this game is a follows: Get together with a small group of friends. Choose one person to be in the "hot seat." Now, take turns amongst everyone else asking questions to the person on the hot seat. My rule is that no question is off limits; however, the person in the hot seat can decide to plead the fifth on any question that they just can't answer.
