How to Host a Murder -- Columbo imitation

Has anyone ever played those boxed murder mystery party games called How to Host a Murder? The players have to listen to a tape with the detective explaining the scene of the crime, and there's one edition where the guy does a dead-on impersonation of Columbo! Everything from "this is some place you've got here" and "my wife reads all your newspaper columns." In any case, the games are great fun if you're into that kind of stuff, as I suspect many of us are.

I went to one once...at my sister's house...we all got really dressed up in 20's fashions and put lots of make-up on. It was a lot of fun! But we all drank too much wine and really couldn't figure out the mystery quite well....although I am proud to say I got most of it right!!

Too much port in your storm?

Re: How to Host a Murder -- Columbo imitation

I'd say!!!!!

Although, I prefer White Zinfandel!! But Any Old Zinfandel In A Storm just doesn't have the same ring to it!!

Re: Re: How to Host a Murder -- Columbo imitation

How about Any Old Zinfandel in a Zephyr? Here are my other five top 10 "sideways" titles for the ep (which I saw again Sunday on Hallmark -- what a classic!):

Any Old Chiraz in a Shower
Any Old Blush in a Bluster
Any Old Bourdeaux in a Blizzard
Any Old Gallo in a Gale
Any Old Merlot in a Maelstrom

And for those who have far cheaper tastes in the graph, Any Old Thunderbird in a Thunderstrom.

Re: How to Host a Murder -- Columbo imitation

Very good, Martin, very good!!
May I add a few?

Any Old Cabernet In A Cloudburst
Any Old Chardonnay In A Cyclone
Any Old Gamay In A Gust
Any Old Shiraz In A Sirocco
Any Old Merlot In A Mistral
Any Old Riesling In A Rainstorm
Any Old Sauvignon In a Sandstorm
and my personal favorite...
Any Old Muscatel In a Mudslide
