Here's an idea for your next potluck event.
When people sign up for what to bring, instead of signing up for the dish they have in mind, ask them to instead use an appropriate LC Subject Heading; if one isn't descriptive enough, or doesn't exist, make up addition descriptors or headings. For example, if I were to bring gin martinis (and don't we wish) I might sign up for "Martinis--Ingredients--Gin (Bombay Sapphire)--Garnishes (Olives)". There is actually an LC heading "Martinis" but the rest is all fiction.
Okay. Once the signup list has been completed, someone transcribes the information and makes copies that are distributed at the potluck. Then multiple games could be played:
1) Who can best discern the real LC headings from the counterfeits?
2) Which of the headings is the cleverest? most descriptive? etc.
Warning: I have never actually tried this or heard about it being done, but there is great fun just in trying something new.
