What is #marygoround

So, people who are new to following me on Twitter sometimes wander in when a game of #marygoround starts up and are justifiably confused. Allow me to explain.

I have had some extraordinarily bad travel karma. It ranges from things like being delayed for two days coming home, to an airline stewardess being so severely shocked that she had to be removed from the plane, to brake failure. On a plane.

Someone suggested that there needed to be a drinking game. So there is.

The rules are simple.

  1. When travel goes right, you take a drink (This does not need to be alcohol, nor the entire beverage)
  2. When travel goes wrong, I take a drink.

(The advanced version says that for Rule 2 you get to take two drinks.)

  1. Mary,

    In deference to your Travel Karma or mojo or whatever, I really enjoy when the Mary-Go-Round is spinning.  Usually I have a dark beer in hand and a smile on my face. Unless it goes really badly for you, then I cringe inwardly for you.
