AS MANY DEGREES AS YOU WANT OF PAT RILEY
Step 1: Have one player yell out any noun known to manStep 2: The rest of the group begins word association using the word from step one
*Note* Word association may be done in any way possible including rhyming.
Step 3: Continue word association until you can somehow tie it to Pat Riley
Step 4: Once you get to Pat Riley the first person to say "Pat Riley? He's Here? You know him?" wins the game and must be carried on the shoulders of the other players to Vons to purchase four Honey Buns for $1.
Example - Someone starts out by yelling "Kenny Webster...Thick Glasses...Coke Bottles...McDonalds....Donald Duck...Bread Crumbs...Rats...Pat...Pat Riley? He's Here? You know him?" Everyone cheers!!!

I tried the Pat Riley game in many social settings since high school.
Sadly no one gets it, and it even angers some.
I am never-the-less fully satisified and entertained.
I have had the same experiences, with the same results.
Were any people of the opposite sex there when you played this? Andrea Steele doesn't count on this because she was always at everything for years after she graduated.
I remember Honey Buns.
The end.
I think we played this game at least 17 times a day. It really wan't a game but a way to annoy people. Let's say you are talking to me and Jono overheard you say sunrise, for example, he would barge in and begin making his way towards Pat Riley. It really made people mad. You probably don't remember because (1) you became numb to our dumb dumb hearts or (2) you hated it so much it was suppressed.
Ahhh! Me thinks I remember it now. The way it was phrased before sounded entirely to structured for my memory to recall. I think all I needed was you saying Jono's name in the example, and it all came flooding back. Along, of course, with the sounds of your laughter from making your victim so frustrated. High 5.
Victim! Nicole Brown Simpson! OJ brought Johny Cochran! No? Johny Knoxville from Tennesse! Steve-O! Steve Martin! Martin Short! Basketball Shorts! Short Shorts on the The 86 LAKERS! Coach Riley! PAT RILEY! YOU KNOW HIM!!! HE'S HERE!!!!!!! WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHERE IS HE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!CAN I TALK TO HIM!
...and scene.
Well played my young man...well played.
and cue the slow clap....tear runs down my cheek...and scene.
It shall be known through history that the only way for Kj to remember anything about highschool is to say it was "Jono" and "annoying". Mmmmmmmm...those were good times.
- Also I wish I could meet Pat Riley one day for real, and you know I would play that game with him. In fact, I would teach him how to play it. I can see him playing the game with his friends. ...you know Pat Riley? ...he's here? ...can I meet him? ...
Yes Jono, but if you played "Pat Riley" with Pat Riley, or anyone named Pat or Riley for that matter, it would be the shortest game in history. But the look on his face as he called security to have you hauled away would be priceless.
What can I say...
I gonna try it!!!
I hate that game!
Tara, seriously! You loved the game. It was your sunshine on a cloudy day.
