>Everyone’s Favorite Game: "Creative Team or Cuckoo Pants?"

I’m not going to go into WHY Elinor Burket went nuts on the Oscars last night but I am going to offer up a new game for all of us to play: Creative Team or Cuckoo Pants!

There are no rules really… you just have to pick someone on a creative team (i.e. your favorite Broadway director, music producer, lighting designer, playwright/screenwriter, etc) and decide, based on their behavior, if they are simply creative or if they are a bat-ass crazy cuckoo pants.

In a fun twist to the game, you can watch an awards show and, when you’ve decided that someone is simply cuckoo pants, take a shot. By the end of the night you will, no doubt, be so inebriated, that you too will be cuckoo pants… at least briefly.

Ready… set… go… May the cuckoo games begin!

If you want to read the whole story of Ms. Burket’s Kanye moment, check out either Salon’s piece or a more fun-filled, jaunty exposé on my friend Mark’s blog, The Critical Condition. Don’t take my word for it!

About the author

I’m Tommy, a writer and storyteller who works in marketing for the arts and cultural communities. I’m the author of Mabel Stanley and the Town That Was Built All Wrong, a fun and heartfelt book, and I’m currently working on a novel about self-discovery and the complexities of memory. Writing is a big part of my life, but I also enjoy creating experiences that bring people together, which is why my husband, Matt, and I co-run the online store Have Fun Spread Joy. It’s all about embracing the playful side of life and giving back along the way. I’m married to Matt, and we share our home with our two pets, Zoey (the cat) and Dixie (the dog). When I’m not writing, working on our store, or doing marketing for the arts, I like to dive into theater, something I want to get more involved with over time. I was diagnosed with ADHD, and while it comes with its own set of challenges, it also gives me a unique perspective that I try to channel into everything I do. Whether it’s writing, working on creative projects, or finding ways to spread joy, I’m all about making a lasting impact in whatever I do.
