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!!
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!):
