Sahgi Kagoo

I was talking recently about a silly game to play with your partner whilst watching adverts. Well, there are plenty of other games which we habitually play, and I'd like to describe one to you here.

Sahgi Kagoo involves taking a short phrase (such as “Soggy Kagoule”) and saying it in the style of a character from a badly dubbed Japanese TV drama, such as Monkey or The Water Margin. The aim is to distort the sound of the words in such a way to make them completely incomprehensible (whilst still giving your partner a chance to guess). Here are some phrases to try:-
* Ham and Beetroot Sandwich
* I worship Portobello Road
* Tasty demon pastry

Or for advanced players
* Hooded Claw in Punjab

Try it, you might like it.

“Save The Norwegian Wolf”

Hubby and I play a similar game, except we use the announcer voices from Iron Chef, that deliciously wacky Japanese cooking game show.

Many foods sound much more amusing when yelled out in the announcer's unique dialect.

Isn't “I worship Portobello Road” one of the audible phrases if you play “Day Tripper” backwards? ;)
