DH and I have invented a great game I thought I'd share with you. We call it Tiny House Nation.

While watching an episode of Tiny House Nation on TV, DH and I commented on how many times the presenters etc say with 'Tiny House' or 'Tiny Home.' They say it all the bloody time!!

Game goes like this, get a beer or glass of wine and start watching the TV show. Every time you hear someone say 'Tiny House' or 'Tiny Home' you take a sip. Often you have to pause the TV so you can catch up, sometimes they use those words 2-3 times in one sentence.

I end up crying with laughter playing this game, it's a great way to de-stress at the end of a long day. Generally after an hour or so of playing this game we end up dancing around the kitchen to 80's music!

Warming..... if you try this with vodka etc you very quickly slide off the sofa, pissed as a newt! Have fun ladies and let me know if you enjoy it as much as I do. Smile

I don't think it celebrates laziness more than it celebrates not being a slave to a bank mortgage and being able to travel etc more freely...sometimes being able to take your home WITH you.

That sounds like fun! We watched a couple of episodes once so we could make comments on what a pretentious snot the people were. There was one episode with a guy who, to hear him, was single handedly saving the planet by living in a tiny house. It was like watching Rocky Horror and calling Brad "asshole!" Blum 3

I don't get the tiny house thing.

Why not just buy a trailer? They've been making them for years, you know it's going to have tons of storage, be winterized and be towable.
They also talk about how they aren't going to have a mortgage. But you still have to pay to put the tiny house somewhere?? Is that free??

I just don't get it!

I play obama bingo. Every time he uses a catch phrase, i take a sip. "That's not who we are" "ISIL" " Amurica" "I" "Me" "I'm"

Like this Obama idea, it sounds like a seriously fast way to get shit faced in less than 15 minutes...lol!

I do agree the show is not very good, playing the game improves it 100%. Although it is hilarious when you see them reach the realisation that they're going to have to give up nearly all of their belongings and sacrifice so many luxurys to live in a bloody shed on wheels. You see the new owners get more panicked as the show goes on. I'd love to see a follow up show called 'I can't stand my tiny house and it took me a year and $30,000 to find this out!'

We don't tend to concentrate on the storyline so much as we're too busy drinking. I'm wondering if I could do the same game watching 'Friends' and take a swig every time Ross irritates me......

There was one on the other day and the people had 2 dogs! Big dogs. Not only did the dogs not fit, I have no idea where they planned to store the dog food. I'm you could pick up a small bag of food every other day but really?

The same goes for cats. Where exactly are you going to put the kitty litter, the box and the extra litter? And in a space that small the moment the animal uses the bathroom you will know it!

I think in a year or two you'll see cheap cheap tiny houses for sale all over! Maybe they can make them accessible to homeless people!
