Blog > Semantic's Middle Aged Fly Swatting Ninja

21 July 2006

Three weeks ago (when the guys were on holiday) I drew a smiley face on our whiteboard. It sat there happily for a few days until Mike came back and (predictably) drew a mustache on it. The next day Chris added 'buck teeth' and a new Semantic game was born. We call it "Drawn Apart".

Since then we've been taking it in turns to add details to the drawing and two things keep it interesting.

1) How the meaning of the picture has changed with each addition.
2) How each of us keep trying to subtly (and not so subtly) undermine the ideas of the others.

The result of the game is that my drawing has evolved from a happy-smiley face into a middle-aged-fly-swatting-ninja with Multiple Personality Disorder... which in a sense mirrors the way it was created. Here it is...

In the interests of science we have kicked-off Round Two of 'Drawn Apart' today. This is Mike's opening gambit. We'll let you know what transpires...
