Hello again, contestants! We made it through Week 6, and I'm back a few days late from a trip, so thanks for bearing with me! This week's round will end on Sunday and I'll kick Week 8 off on the normal Sunday timeframe. For those of you familiar with the party game of a similar name, it's a copy with a twist.

Week 6 Winners
I think this was my favorite prompt so far. So many good laughs on this one.
My Personal Favorite
I turned off the NSFW filter on Steemit and was shocked to find a post about
the Love of My Life
by @hyperbole. Congratulations! I think this entry fit the word "shocked" the best for me :P
The Crowd Favorite
I turned off the NSFW filter on Steemit and was shocked to find a post about
A Stub
by @shadown99. Congratulations!
The RNG Award
I turned off the NSFW filter on Steemit and was shocked to find a post about
Objects of different shapes (spheres, and cylinders that are infinite in one direction)
by @ropaga. Congratulations!
Rules
TLDR; answer the prompt as a comment on this post using words from a random Wikipedia article
- No resteem or upvote is necessary, although it is greatly appreciated. If I get paid out more than more than 4 liquid STEEM from these posts, I will increase the number of winners.
- Use the Random Article feature on Wikipedia to get your valid list of words (your "White Cards", for those of you familiar with the actual party game). This link will take you to a random article. You can use any word(s) on the screen - intro, nav bar, anything!
- Answer in the form of a comment on this post. The format of your comment should be two lines: your answer word(s), and the link to the article you used (see sample answer to this week's prompt below)
- If you want to keep rolling for new random articles, that's your decision, although it's not in the spirit of the game. If you get a very short "stub" article or something written in another language, feel free to roll again though!
- If you intentionally use a specific Wikipedia article, I can't stop you, but again, it's not in the spirit of the game.
- Feel free to add the word "a" or "the" or similar "formatting" words to your answer if it would help it make more sense or sound better.
This Week's Prompt
My Sample Answer
This is the qualifying format I'm looking for in your comment down below:
Living people

Prizes
There will be three shares of SBI awarded as prizes.
- One share to my own personal favorite
- One share to the crowd favorite (as measured by the number of upvotes, not the dollar amount)
- One share to a random qualifying entry
I've also set a small Steem Bounty on this post. All valid entries will qualify. I'd also recommend subscribing to @dustsweeper for maximum benefit.
This contest will run for a week, at which time I'll close it out, announce the winners, and kick off the next round.
Anyway, thanks for playing, and have fun! Here's the random Wikipedia article link again. See you in the comments below!

a fourth set of child sex allegations.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kesgrave_Hall_School
Lol! This was a great one!
Thanks @bengy
Kesgrave Hall School
Kesgrave Hall School was a private boys' boarding school in Kesgrave, England, catering for pupils with high academic potential who were unable to flourish in mainstream schools.
Well that was a darker answer than I anticipated
Yikes... This couple should probably not have kids.
140 fatalities

I'm finally getting some decent articles! Somehow I nearly missed this round though...
This doesn't play well in the United States XD
Disobedient bodies
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jamie_Hawkesworth
Ha ha! Just what you need for the wedding night!
Is it weird that my mind first jumped to "uncontrollable flatulence" when I read that?
No, that's not weird at all.
a miner's licence
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miner%27s_licence
30 shillings per month is a pretty nice gift. But it would prove helpful if the couple planned to do their honeymoon in the outback.
You need a license for everything these days, sheesh.
That's why I provided them with said license - such things shouldn't stand in the way of conjugal bliss ;)
Visual impairment.

That's not nice. ^^
Hahaha, perfect! The key to marital bliss - if you can't see them get fat, what does it matter?
"a Doctor of Divinity degree"
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Torrey
Joseph Torrey
Joseph Torrey (1797–1867) was an American professor of philosophy at the University of Vermont and acting president of that university for five years.
Torrey was born in Rowley, Massachusetts. He received his education at Dartmouth College and Andover Seminary; later in his life he was honored by Harvard College with a Doctor of Divinity degree. Torrey joined the faculty of the University of Vermont in 1827 and remained there until his death.
These days it's especially important to have career options.
Congratulations to all the winners. I love this game so much haha.
Desert-adapting plants.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boulder_Gardens
Hahaha, you know, the funny thing is that I once got one of those plants from the bride and groom at a wedding. It was the guest gift. I think it's just about dead on my windowsill now.

Yikes, gives new meaning to "speak now or forever hold your peace"
Lol couples should really stop inviting guests for gifts!!

Aww, you totally missed the point of the game! You're supposed to look inside the article for funny things to pick. You could have gone with:
But you're still a valid entry :)

Might as well get it started early XD
a large lunar impact crater
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sommerfeld_(crater)
